Today we are hungover. Last night we got to experience the local nightlife down in Haight. The journey there was not easy. Public transport seriously let us down as we ended up taking a taxi after waiting for the bus nearly an hour. Also, witnessed a street mugging right in front of our eyes when a poor man got his laptop ripped from his shoulder. He did start chasing the mugger but doubt he caught him. Anyway, after getting to Haight we first experienced a bunch of sport/Irish/British (all in one)bars and finally found our way to the Golden Cane, recommended by a local.

A quick word about yesterday before we head off for our hangover meal to a place that has rather high expectations in our eyes. (hint, it is inspired by our true hero, mr. Bourdain) So, yesterday we did a lot of walking, came across this alley way food gem, called Bistro 69.

                                                  Heavenly tostada salad at Bistro 69.

Also, discovered the Height (upper) area by accident when taking the bus to the Japanese Tea Garden, which by the way is weed-lovers paradise. Crazy hippie neighbourhood. After a stroll in the park we headed back to hostel, starving, so we decided to try out the old-school diner next door to our hostel. As expected, it did not fail us. (aka heart attacks on plates)

Okay, gotta run now. Checking out from this hostel in 10 mins. Holla later!
