The Asian-Yank Dell Boy...

Hey,

So i spent the last 2 days in san fran, and i gota say i love the city! its by far been my favourite city in the usa...come to think of it im not the biggest fan of the cities in the usa to be honest, the people are quite friendly dont get me wrong but the cities arent the best for tourists and the tipping culture and the added tax in different states makes it feel like your getting ripped off time and time again...

The family im staying with here reminds me of a dell-boy style situation but much more sophisticated. Like he has all these routers and cables in his computer room, and i was told as he runs those calling cards thru his house, so u know when u buy calling cards to call a certain country well they are routed through people like his set ups, pretty random i know! Also he put solar panels on his roof, and he sells back electricty to the electrical grid, lol, its just shows how at every situation someone people see an opportunity!

It goes on to make me thing about the usa and the mentality of the people, how hard working they are and how they focus on the green, and not the kind u think im talking bout but the dollar green! They are really hardowrking and i guess doesnt surproise me how for so long that the japanese and the usa were the largest economies if there people are so hardworking and focused on earnin and living to work, rather than the enjoying life, or maybe thats their enjoyment, earning alot of money and buying materialistic things or saving it jus cause they can!

Aneway today i went to Alcatrez its more developed than robben island and it feels more like a prison where as robben island was different because of the racial elements to it if u know what i mean... and i went on a tour of the city and like i said the most beautiful city i been by far in the usa!

anyway i better go but will try to write again inshallah

take care
