What is a good acting agency in California, USA, preferably near San Francisco area?
i live in the US but the show i want to get a part, any part at all, in is called Doctor Who and its in the UK. so is it possible? yes, i know, i don't sound like i really want to be an actress, but i really do but its just Doctor Who that i want to start off with. (foolish? maybe.) the thing im worried about is the international thing. im still in college, but im willing to do what it takes to get a part. and please, no snide comments. thank you.What is a good acting agency in California, USA, preferably near San Francisco area?
As a beginner actor with no agent or indeed any clue as to how agencies operate, you are not going to start off with a show like Doctor. Who or any other network or cable show for that matter. In order to work on a British show filmed in the U.K. you will need to have the proper work visas to work in the U.K. It is very difficult for Americans to get work permits over there and the show would need to show that you are in the top percent of your field (acting) and that they have a specific need for you that can not be filled by anyone else. Once again, as a beginner, you would not be able to show this.
Since you are still in college, you should investigate getting involved with your schools theatre department if they have one.What is a good acting agency in California, USA, preferably near San Francisco area?
Absolutely no chance. The casting director, Andy Pryor, hand picks the cast and who auditions based on what else he has seen them in - he has a dossier of actors he has seen and follows their progress before carefully selecting them to audition.
On top of all this:
1. You are not a professional actor
2. You presumably are not able to work in the UK
3. You live on the other side of the Atlantic and Doctor Who is cast and filmed in Wales
You really have to get a grip on reality with this one.

Should I drive from San Francisco to Monterey and Carmel? or bus trip?
I'll only be in SF for 3 days, what would b the best option? what are the best things to do?Should I drive from San Francisco to Monterey and Carmel? or bus trip?
If you take a bus it will go down Hwy 101, which is faster, but dull. If you drive you could go down hwy 1, which goes along the coast the whole way, a lot prettier, plus you could stop in Santa Cruz for lunch. And you could come back up 101 to save time.
The Monterey Aquarium is really good, if you like aquariums (aquaria?) Carmel is nice just to walk around and look in windows. Not much to do there except they have a really nice beach (but there are closer beaches).Should I drive from San Francisco to Monterey and Carmel? or bus trip?
Driving yourself is probably your best option. This will allow you to check out more of what Monterey has to offer.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium is always a crowd favorite. Whale watching and bike rentals are also popular activities in Monterey. You can rent bikes on Cannery Row and ride down to Pacific Grove, or even Pebble Beach.
In Carmel, check out the Carmel Mission or walk/shop along Ocean Avenue. Point Lobos is great spot for hiking and sightseeing. There are also plenty of great restaurants in Carmel including Carmel Mission Ranch and PortaBella's.
If you enjoy wine head over to Carmel Valley Village. There are several wineries and tasting rooms. I work for the Monterey County Convention %26amp; Visitors Bureau so my job is to make sure you have a great time!
If you take Greyhound, you first have to go to Salinas, which takes four hours, then catch another bus from Salinas to Monterey/Carmel, which takes another hour. So that's at least five hours each direction.
Driving will take two hours each direction, and you'll have the freedom to go wherever you want. Drive.Should I drive from San Francisco to Monterey and Carmel? or bus trip?
That's a 2 1/2 hour drive, depending. My wife and I do it sometimes for a weekend trip. Last time it took us all day to get to Pacific Grove. Visit friends in Half Moon Bay, stop at the beach, look a the old lighthouse, lunch in Capitola and some strolling, pick some strawberries or stop at a fruit stand, wine tasting...........................Bus, what bus?
Only a tour bus would take Hwy 1 (Cabrillo Hwy) down to Monterey and Carmel. Your best bet is to rent a car and drive there. It is around 3 hours to Carmel from S.F. so that is an all day trip there and back by bus unless you intend to to to Carmel and not go back to S.F. from there.Should I drive from San Francisco to Monterey and Carmel? or bus trip?

New York City or San Francisco?
Due to many factors, I narrowed down where to move to two cities: New York City and San Francisco.
Factors important to me: nice people, things to do, weather, safety, potential to work, potential to date and make friends, big airport, fun activities, diversity, ease of transportation, healthy life, availability of services.
Due to these factors, maybe that鈥檚 why I personally narrowed it down to NYC and SF, but I鈥檇 like to know other opinions about which to choose. Many thanks in advance guys!
P.S. I am professional mid鈥搕hirties straight intellectual artistic dude.New York City or San Francisco?
San Francisco is physically attractive and New York is more exciting. It depends what is more important. I have lived in both and live near San Francisco now..Both are great places to live, but I would have to say SF. The food is great, and so is the weather. It is a bit easier to live in SF, given the scale and population density. I grew up in NYC and then moved to the Bay Area, so I have a good sense of both places and I love them both!New York City or San Francisco?
I havent been to San Francisco but I've been living in New York for the past 4 months and its terrible. There is good transportation set up here but its really not efficient at all. The metro takes a long time and is really dirty. The city is really over crowded and makes it difficult just to go have lunch during the day. And if there is a free event in the city you need to make sure you get there at least 3 hours in advance cause there will always be thousands of people that show up to these events.
I came and visited New York for 5 days a few years ago and thought it was a great place but having to live here is completly different.
I suggest you live in San Francisco for at least a month and New York at least a month and then decide.New York City or San Francisco?
NYC!!! I'm from Florida but moved to NYC 5 years ago. Probably the best decision I ever made. I made tons of friends and seen so much! I have been to San Fran and it is lovely but there is no place like NYC! There is always things to do and always a bus or a train to take you around. especially to neighboring states!! The museums here are amazing! My personal fave is the Met. Good Luck!New York City or San Francisco?
I been to both places I would pick SF hands down. You can't beat the cable car, the Golden Bridge and best "summer"weather in the City By The Bay. New York summers, on the other hand, are absolutely unbearable.
Both are polluted asthmatic hellholes with oversexed and vulgar Americans.

Is there a smaller airport near either Los Angeles or San Francisco that is cheaper to fly into?
My mil said someone told her that it was cheaper flying into smaller airports. I do not agree and in fact usually find it way more expensive. At least it was when I flew into Vail rather than Denver? Anywho does anyone happen to know which airport she was speaking of she couldn't remember even which city it was? I tried to look it up but the only thing that came up was near San Francisco and it was San Jose International which to me isn't that small and I know it's not cheaper.
Thanks.Is there a smaller airport near either Los Angeles or San Francisco that is cheaper to fly into?
LAX is your best bet because a lot of the discount airlines fly into there. Southwest, JetBlue, AirTran, Frontier, Virgin America, Spirit and Allegiant all operate flights in and out of LAX. When you have discount airlines flying into an airport, ticket prices generally fall. The smaller airports do not have as many flights and with less competition, prices are generally higher.Is there a smaller airport near either Los Angeles or San Francisco that is cheaper to fly into?
Hi Hun! Most of the time Sacramento is cheaper for us to fly out of, and you could also check San Jose. Those are the only two, other than Oakland that might be cheaper I think. When are you comming to Cali?Is there a smaller airport near either Los Angeles or San Francisco that is cheaper to fly into?
Hmm, there's Oakland airport (OAK) outside of San Francisco... you could try that.Is there a smaller airport near either Los Angeles or San Francisco that is cheaper to fly into?
Check into Burbank, Ontario, Orange County (SNA) or Long Beach.
Yeah, only one I could think of was Long Beach.... Are you going to Cali? I want to come! :)

If you plan to visit more than a couple of these popular sights which require admission, you can save money by getting a Go Card or a San Francisco CityPass.
Things to do in San Francisco: Waterfront
Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39 and Ghirardelli Square: Together, they encompass much of the stereotypical San Francisco sights and are perhaps the most popular things to do in San Francisco. Many people feel they haven't visited San Francisco unless they've seen them - but this tourist area bears little resemblance to the rest of the City of San Francisco.

The Golden Gate Bridge: Not only is it one of the city's most enjoyable things to do, but it's also one of the most-photographed sights in the world. A walk on it is a must.

The Exploratorium is a modern, hands-on science museum housed in The Palace of Fine Arts, a Roman-style remainder of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The outdoor rotunda and its lagoon are some of the most-photographed San Francisco sights
Lombard, the "Crookedest" Street is neither the crookedest street in San Francisco nor the steepest, but it's surely the best-known. The "crooked" section is the block below Hyde Street. No car to drive down? Take the cable car to Hyde and Lombard and walk.
Golden Gate Park is the city's largest park. One of the most popular attractions in the park is the Japanese Tea Garden, but there's plenty more to see here, including the San Francisco Botanical Garden, California Academy of Sciences and Conservatory of Flowers. View photos

Alcatraz: The former prison wasn't always a place people wanted to go, but today it's one of the city's most popular sights. Reserve your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.

The Golden Gate Bridge: Not only is it one of the city's most enjoyable things to do, but it's also one of the most-photographed sights in the world. A walk on it is a must.

Things to do in San Francisco - Around Town
Cable Cars are often called San Francisco's moving landmark. And they're a fun way to get around, too.

Chinatown expresses what early 20th Century Western architects thought Chinese buildings should look like. There's much here that's created just for the tourist, but with our hints, you can get a glimpse of the "real" Chinatown in its alleys and shops.

The Exploratorium is a modern, hands-on science museum housed in The Palace of Fine Arts, a Roman-style remainder of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The outdoor rotunda and its lagoon are some of the most-photographed San Francisco sights
Lombard, the "Crookedest" Street is neither the crookedest street in San Francisco nor the steepest, but it's surely the best-known. The "crooked" section is the block below Hyde Street. No car to drive down? Take the cable car to Hyde and Lombard and walk.
Golden Gate Park is the city's largest park. One of the most popular attractions in the park is the Japanese Tea Garden, but there's plenty more to see here, including the San Francisco Botanical Garden, California Academy of Sciences and Conservatory of Flowers. View photos

What is there to do in San Francisco?
So, this club that I am in at school always goes to San Francisco for trips during spring. And, I'm wondering what there is to do there. We do a semi-educational thing for the first part of the trip, and then we go off and do whatever we want (however the places we go have to be somewhat close to the semi-educational place). For example, last year we went to a museum, and then just walked around the wharf that was around the museaum. So what is there to do that is semi-educational, and later fun? ;]What is there to do in San Francisco?
There are several museums in the South of Market area. The Museum of Modern Art, the Contemporary Jewish Museum, the Museum of the African Diaspora, and the Cartoon Art Museum. Near by is the Westfield Shopping Center and Union Square.
Golden Gate Park has two Museums the DeYoung Art Museum and the new Academy of Sciences with other attractions near by.
The Exploratorium is near the Golden Gate Bridge, Chrissy Field, the Presidio and Chestnut Street so plenty of options there as well.What is there to do in San Francisco?

I am moving to San Francisco for 3 months and have never been what are the best guides to help me prepare?
I need advice on where to acess the best guides to fashion, weather, tourist attractions and the works in order to be prepared for the move. Also i wil be working in the financial district.. do ppl dress up more formally there or is it laid back? my company is "business casual" but even that can mean many different thingsI am moving to San Francisco for 3 months and have never been what are the best guides to help me prepare?
SF is more formal than LA but generally laid back. Banana Republic is owned by the Gap which is based in SF and that is your best best if you wanted to look business casual SF style.
for tourist info check out the SF site for citysearch.com.
www.sfgate.com is the site for the San Francisco Chronicle. The Chronicle publishes a guide to weekend events once a week and on Sundays puts out a guide to culture, music and entertainment.I am moving to San Francisco for 3 months and have never been what are the best guides to help me prepare?
I had stayed in San Francisco x 1month last year. I arrived a day before Thanksgiving and left before the New Year.
First be familiar with San Francisco ! I read alot of articles about it before i came. It is important that you have a map of the city. It is easy to understand.
As to fashion, it depends on your company. People usually wear casual clothes. However, in the financial district, wear something corporate. To be safe, dont wear something too formal and not too rugged. Dont wear maong pants for work ! You can shop at GAP located at Powell, Macys near that area! There is also an Old Navy store over there.
As to weather, you can have the weather of San Francisco monitored from your place through my yahoo. It is now 52-67 degress Fahrenheit. You can monitor more places at the same time if you want to. Just click on what city or places you want to be monitored. MIne once I open my Yahoo Messenger, I have my weather monitor of 20 different places at the same time. You can compare your place and San Francisco at the same time even before you leave for San Francisco so that you will know the difference.
As to tourist attractions, after Christmas, my friend treated me over by riding the cable car first at Powell St. Surprisingly,I have a friend who lives in San Francisco x 20 years who hadnt ridden it. From there, you will see a birds eye view of Alcatraz, an island where prisoners used to stay and the crookedest street in San Francisco
( Lombard). The car will bring you to Fishermans wharf. You can go down there and have a lunch. After the lunch, you can walk around the area and see some souvenirs. We took the double decker tour of the city. The key points in the city will be toured! I learned that Levis originated there! You will pass by Moscone Convention Center, the entrance to Chinatown and other famous areas in downtown San Francisco. There are other tours available. To the Golden Gate Bridge ( Japanese Tea Garden, located in the Golden Gate Park), to Alcatraz , Yosemite and other nearby areas. Try riding the BART also in Powel St. BART stands for the Bay Area RapidTransit District! Take a round trip of this train. You will be able to see the surrounding areas of San Francisco! This includes the Contra costa county = Antioch, Brentwood, Clayton, Concord, Crockett , Danville, El Cerrito, Lafayette, Martinez, Oakley, Orinda, Pinole, Pittsburg, Pleasant Hill, San Ramon, Walnut Creek!
During the Christmas season, residents of San Francisco prefers to shop to nearby Daly City since parking for these shopping centers are free. It is located in the northernmost edge of the San Mateo County adjacent to San Francisco. We usually shop at Target !
As to means of transportation, I would say it is easier to ride buses here than any part of California that I had been to. You can transfer buses and see the ticket time. You can ride Muni buses and ride another for free as long as you keep the bus tickets and it is with the time frame. You will see it in the ticket. Try applying for a library card too! If you still dont have a computer, you can access the computer, 30 minutes, 2x per day. There are many libraries all over San Francisco.I am moving to San Francisco for 3 months and have never been what are the best guides to help me prepare?
Moon Handbook's Northern California is the most comprehensive guide to the region's unique attractions and history, but it is very academic and has practically no nightlife listings. Zagat's Bay Area Restaurant Guide is good for newcomers to the food scene, and the Time Out California guide is a great contemporary, hip introduction to the state.
California is very casual, but lawyer/banker heavy places like the SF Financial District (or the Capitol Mall in Sacramento) are a wee bit more conservative around the workplace than most of the state.
Although you probably won't need a formal suit and tie/scarf... I'm guessing "business casual" would entail something along the lines of: nice shirt with sufficiently long pants [or smart-looking dress for women] and leather shoes.
It tends to get chilly in San Francisco... so you wouldn't want to walk around in flip-flops and shorts any way.

I want to move and I was wondering which city is better in your opinion San Diego or San Francisco?
In terms of things to do, nightlife, etc, and Im a college student if that helps.I want to move and I was wondering which city is better in your opinion San Diego or San Francisco?
The two cities are very different, depends on what you want. It's warm and sunny in San Diego, while SF has more nightlife. Both have plenty to do, however the straight male to female ratio is better for girls in SD.
There are way too many questions that need to be asked to give you a better answer.I want to move and I was wondering which city is better in your opinion San Diego or San Francisco?
If money isn't a problem, I'd go with San Francisco. Realize these are VERY different cities ! San Fransico is more laid back. San Diego is a military town and more uptight. San Diego gets really hot, SF does'nt. Things like rent are higher though.I want to move and I was wondering which city is better in your opinion San Diego or San Francisco?
Forget San Fransicko. That is a very liberal and communist city. They are having all sorts of problems now.

I'll be soon travelling to San Francisco with a toddler (2 1/2). Can we have her in a taxi without a carseat?
Will the taxi refuse us service? If not, is it against the law to not have her in a car seat in a taxi? I'm really trying to avoid lugging along a carseat. What's the practical thing to do?I'll be soon travelling to San Francisco with a toddler (2 1/2). Can we have her in a taxi without a carseat?
I would say so, it is illegal to not have a child in a carseat here... I don't think there is a practical thing to do, maybe see about if it is ok to just use one of those booster seats that aren't so bulkyI'll be soon travelling to San Francisco with a toddler (2 1/2). Can we have her in a taxi without a carseat?
i think it has sumthing to do with her height, but i could be wrong!
most definately she needs a carseat. its the law here and really is "lugging" around a carseat so bad that you would jeopardize her safety? SF cab drivers are not good drivers.I'll be soon travelling to San Francisco with a toddler (2 1/2). Can we have her in a taxi without a carseat?
I live just barely south of SF and I dont think you will have a problem at all. You might be required to have her sit on your lap. But if you just slap her in the car you will be fine. The cabbies dont really care at all.
It is illegal to transport her in any vehicle without a car seat.I'll be soon travelling to San Francisco with a toddler (2 1/2). Can we have her in a taxi without a carseat?
Some cab drivers will refuse you. It happened when we arrived back from a vacation in Hawaii. My son was four, and at that time the restrictions were different, he did not have to ride in a car seat. My son is very small for his age, and one cab driver refused to take us because we did not have his car seat. He said that he couldn't take the "baby"..... he obviously thought that my son was a toddler.
The cab drivers, as well as most of the other drivers here, are incredibly bad. Bring a car seat, the booster type, and buckle yourself up as well. I know that it is hard to tote that around when you are trying to do other things. I tried to find a convenient, travel, toddler car seat but nothing was foldable. Maybe that is a good idea for an invention? The safety standards are probably difficult to meet. I am assuming that you have a stroller to bring, so somehow maybe you can tuck the seat under the stroller when you are walking.
I hope that this helps.

i've seen people do it all the time. just like busses not having car seats, or airplanes,etc
take the freakin car seat! Who cares what you have to lug.....It's better than lugging a body to the hospital, god forbid. safety first
It's technically illegal. Will most cab drivers care? No... of course not. Kids are in cabs without car seats all the time. However, San Francisco isn't a big taxi city, thus it's tough to flag down a taxi in most areas (as those passing have someone else in them)... so you have to call them. And most taxi companies have car seats available upon request... just ask when you call.
Also, to clarify some other things people mentioned... buses aren't required to have any safety restraint, thus carseats aren't required. Airplanes aren't automobiles, and even if they were, they're federally regulated, thus state/local laws don't apply - only federal laws. And, to my knowledge, there's no federal law requiring car seats.
And you can debate the safety of car seats all you want, blah blah blah... But it's a fairly new law, and I think most all of us here came from an era where we only were put in car seats before we could sit up on our own... by the time we were 2 1/2, we ceased to be in car seats (I don't even think they made car seats that big when I was a kid - and I'm not old, by any means)... and obviously we're alive. So...
i think that it depends on how tall she is and the taxi service that you use some may have carseats that you can use while your child is in the car. But i do not believe that you can because it is against the law to drive on the road in any car without using a child restraint.

More places to visit are Alcatraz, Angel Island, Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, The Embarcadero, Coit Tower observation deck (has beautiful views of San Francisco), The San Francisco Zoo, take a sightseeing cruise on San Francisco Bay and go under the Golden Gate Bridge, and Muir Woods.
Have fun! San Francisco is a wonderful city!
San Francisco to Yosemite - where should I stop along the way?
I'm driving from SF to Yosemite. Wondering where I can stop along the way for other fun/touristy things to do... even restaurants, whatever.
it's a 4+hour drive. I need breaks.
For my wife and I, both in late 20's.San Francisco to Yosemite - where should I stop along the way?
On Hwy 120, you should stop at rainbow pools. It's right off the road past buck meadows. Stop there and get directions. It's about 2 miles past there and is only a couple of hundred yards off the Hwy on a paved road. Bring your swim suit and be prepared to have a blast. Iron Door Saloon in Groveland is OK too.

What has been the history of all felt earthquakes for the past 100 years in San Francisco?
Need this for the project. Guaranteed 10 points to whoever can also give earthquake data for the past four years with death tolls, magnitude and location for Tokyo, honolulu, st.louis, yellowstone park, WY, london, sydney, philadelphia, and tehran. A site that gives all or most of these would be the best thing ever. I already have a headache and i've only been doing this for an hour. I've gotten one city compiled so far.What has been the history of all felt earthquakes for the past 100 years in San Francisco?

So what's really wrong with the San Francisco Giants this year?
Defensively the Giants are among the best teams - their fielding percentage is tied for 4th. Their pitching staff is, at the least, decent. They are 11th in the league in ERA. And they have the 9th lowest total for runs allowed. Based on those two stats you would think they should be close to .500 if not in the wild card race.
The problem is offense. They have the 4th worst team batting average and the 6th worst on base percentage. And they are tied for 3rd for fewest runs scored.
What baffles me is they have at least 3-4 players capable of hitting .300+.
Any thoughts on why they are so bad offensively? Age is obviously a factor, but I can't see that being main reason. Do you think the circus around Barry Bonds kept them from really being able to focus as a team? It's probably not fair to take into consideration what's happening now because the season is a lost cause and they are obviously trying different things for next year.So what's really wrong with the San Francisco Giants this year?
The Giants actually have a number of pitchers to build around, namely Tim Lincecum, Johnathan Sanchez, Matt Cain, and if he is ever healthy, Merkin Valdez. There is really no problem there. However, management has constantly tried to patch up the 2002 team for so long that it has finally caight up with the Giants, rendering the team in a neutral state. First, they need to cut the dead weight, namely Rich Aurillia, Barry Bonds, Omar Vizquel, Ray Durham, and Ryan Klesko. The Giants need young offensive players to build around, someone like Fred Lewis.
Edit- Vizquel has proven that he could still pick it at SS. There is no way in hell Bruce Bochy should send out Kevin Frandsen at every opportunity. I just don't understand the mindset in that move.
Besides, I wonder whatever happened to all their offensive prospects since the beginning of the decade? Carlos Valderrama? Todd Linden? Lance Niekro (although his not being on the Giants anymore has more to do with him grieving over the loss of his dad in the offseason than ability)? Trey Lundsford? What happened to these guys (there are others whose names escape me)?So what's really wrong with the San Francisco Giants this year?
as long as bonds is on that team they will suffer and the longer he is there the harder it will be to rebuild as the good players will leave in search of teams that are focused on playing in October rather then revolve around the hype of a steroid abuser.So what's really wrong with the San Francisco Giants this year?
They overpaid for Zito, their best player only plays 3-4x a week (Bonds), and their overall pitching stinks. All their money is tied up in 2 players (Zito and Bonds)

Do you think its fair to be laid off for being gay?
my brother works at Sears, his co-worker is gay and called in sick because he couldnt get the day off to go to a gay pride thing in San Francisco. someone snitched on him and the manager found out he wasn't sick and that he went to the gay pride parade. then she got pissed off and fired him because he lied to her and went to the gay pride rally instead of going to work. she bitches all day long and she had always hated him because he is too social and always wants days off whenever a gay pride rallies come along(not too often) but he always shows up and she just pushes him around all day. he is a good employee but she has said homophobic things before in front of him according to my brother and she fired him. no real reason, so she looks bad for firing him for being gay. its nor right. shes a ***** if you ask me. and my brother took it up with her and disgusted the issue and them he got placed on part time and she said "your on thin ice and im sick of your bull crap, and your gonna be next if you dont watch yourself. Your just looking for reason to get fired arent you and i would be honored to be the person who send you out on the streets". she pciks on my brother too but he sint gay but the manager so unreasonable and complain about everything,yet he si one of the only guys at work who doesn't ***** and gossip all day. he has trouble with costumors and give them attitude sometimes becaue they coem up to him speaking Spanish and then start talkign in English, they assume he speaks Spanish just because he si mexican and then the dam customers always "you should learn to speak Spanish" and they always have trouble communicating with dum customers who have no clue what they are looking for.Do you think its fair to be laid off for being gay?
hmm i would still fire him for lying not for being gay. If he told me he had to go to the gay pride parade i wouldn't care i'd let him take the day offDo you think its fair to be laid off for being gay?
I think she's just a pmsing *****.
As for your question, no, discrimination isn't a good reason to be fired.. There's a law against it, but I bet a judge would rule otherwise for gays. :\
It is ILLEGAL to get laid off for being gay.
However, you CAN get laid off for not speaking spanish. you often have to be able to nowadays because of the large amount of spanish speaking people
don't call them stupid. you're the same way when you go to another country. you seem just as "dum"Do you think its fair to be laid off for being gay?
should have called it a personal day
In some states you can be fired for no reason at all.
He was not fired because he was gay. YOU already stated that he FALSELY called in sick when he was not sick. Employers schedule the number of people they need and EXPECT those people to show up. When people are TRULY sick then it is understandable that they will call in, BUT as you have already stated he was NOT sick. He was fired for lying and for NOT showing up when scheduled to work.Do you think its fair to be laid off for being gay?
He didn't get laid off for being gay, he got fired for lying about being sick.
He is not a victim here.
That's actually illegal, technically, in some states only, actually, but I like to say it is through my ethical standards! :D
According to your own reciting of the story, she fires him not for being gay, but for missing work and lying about being sick.
Also, you said that he gets upset with customers - in a business that depends on customer satisfaction, that's not a good idea.
I think I'd hate fired him too. (Laid off implies there may be a job to return to if things pick up - firing is a permanent separation.)
A person should not get fired because of sexual orientation. She might be a ***** but she did have grounds for firing him. In a lot of companies there is a strict policy against malingering.
if he took the day off when he was told that he couldn't have the day off its grounds for firing him. its as simple as that, He wasn't fired for being gay, he was fired for taking an unauthorized day off. its in the rules, they can do that.its called dereliction of duty and its in the labour laws.

Advice on traveling to San Francisco?
I want to travel to san francisco very soon (from new york) for a week vacation. I'd like to know the best hostel to stay at (i don't want to pay for a hotel) and i want to be in a main area. Also what are some good things to do. And I assume there is a good network of public transportation? Also I would like to make a day trip to napa valley one of those days.. what is the best way to get there without a car? Thanks!Advice on traveling to San Francisco?
From SFO.....take BART not a cab. BART is at the airport and will save you at least $30.
You'll need to sign up for a tour of Napa Valley and a bus will take you. http://www.sanfranciscotours.net/wine_co鈥?/a>
Local transportation via Golden Gate Transit: http://goldengatetransit.org/schedules/p鈥?/a>Advice on traveling to San Francisco?
Well. I live about 3-4 hours north of san fran and I've traveled there %26amp; vacayed there twice.The main area is Fishermans wharf, which is where everything is, all the piers, the mimes, shopping, entertainment, EVERYTHING!! Then, a few streets above that here is a road called Lombard street that is full of lodges, motels, hotels with the best prices and is not very far from the warf at all (I walked to and from all day).That whole area is pretty self expainitory, Everything is right there, me and my friends just hopped on Amtrak one day and decide to go there and got dropped off at the warf and neither one of us knew the area and never been there before, and we found everything %26amp; never got lost. Theres trollys %26amp; cabs in the area, but we just walked.I hope you have fun, we had a blast, but got scammed a couple of times. So just be careful, everytime we turned around there were scams going on, Everyone is trying to get your tourist money one way or another.By the end of the day it felt like a conspiracy!! Just don't be naive and youll do just fine. I hope this was helpful. Oh, and I'm really not sure about Napa...sorry. But i'm sure you can probably take the lightrail there...?
There are several hostels in S.F. I'm afraid I haven't tried any of them. You might pick by neighborhood.
http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8%26amp;oe=鈥?/a>
Yes, public transportation is excellent, busses go everywhere. As the other guy said, you can take BART into the city from the airport for like $3. There are bus tours of Napa Valley, or you can take a Greyhound.
Good things to do? It depends on what you like, of course. I hate Fishermans' Wharf, it's fake and touristy, but lots of people love it. Chinatown is real, though, with shops full of everything from cheap tourist knick-knacks to rare and expensive works of art. Union Square is the old shopping district. North Beach is the Italian district with lots of cute restaurants. The Presidio is an old Army base with a museum, lots of pretty views. Fort Point is at the north end of the Presidio, a Civil War era fort that marks the point where San Francisco began. And there are some interesting 'ethnic' neighborhoods like the Mission District, the Richmond District, etc.
If you are in Golden Gate Park, be sure to go to the new DeYoung Museum, not the museum itself but the observation tower (you can go up the tower without paying admission to the museum). Great view from there!Advice on traveling to San Francisco?
Public transportation within San Francisco and the inner suburbs is comprehensive. Although once you get to rural areas like Wine Country, you're pretty much on your own.
Grab a good guidebook before you leave NYC. For San Francisco, I prefer Time Out over Lonely Planet. Time Out has more up-to-date listings and a better grasp of contemporary issues.
Of the HI hostels, the Fisherman's Wharf location is the best. The other two are both in the Tenderloin (an area known for drugs and poverty). Green Tortoise also runs a nice hostel in North Beach / Little Italy.

http://greentortoise.com/san-francisco-h鈥?/a>
Napa Valley without a rental car is very difficult. If you can arrange a tour through your hostel, I suggest you do that.
Otherwise, you have to take the ferry to Vallejo, which departs from the Ferry Building (Embarcadero). Once you arrive in Vallejo, transfer to VINE bus #10. The duration is at least two hours, so you should plan to leave San Francisco early in the morning.

A week in San Francisco actually is not long enough to see everything, so don't be disappointed if you go home without having done something you wanted to do. The thing to do is prioritize.
I personally love Golden Gate Park and the deYoung Museum... and the Conservatory of Flowers. Castro District is nice for shopping and clubbing even if you aren't gay. Don't miss the Haight-Ashbury district, Pier 39, Market Street, or Fisherman's Wharf.
GGP, the deYoung Museum, Conservatory of Flowers, and Haight-Ashbury are good to do together in a single day if you don't have a car because they are all within easy walking distance of each other.
Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf are extensive tourist attractions and will take up one or two days themselves. Be sure to eat at Alioto's for AWESOME seafood and Italian dishes.
Exploring Market and Castro will take up yet another day, but are 鈥?again 鈥?well worth it.
Some people rave about Chinatown, which is within walking distance of Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39... although I personally have never been (yes, for real).
I have never been to Napa, or Sausalito, although I have heard that both can be EXTREMELY pricey. You can get to Sausalito by ferry easy enough, but a trip to Napa might be a bit costly for transportation unless you can find a group already going and get in on special pricing.
The public transportation in SF is amazing. You do not need a car there. Period. Take the BART where you can, and streetcars where you can't. If you just so happen to find some random place that neither of those go to, take a taxi... SF is very compact and cab fare is cheap, so just about anyone can afford cab fare.
Have a great trip and stay safe! :)
**** ADDED **** I agree with the other poster that the whole FIsherman's Wharf/Pier 39/Embarcadero area is overly touristy and annoying, but if you are an out-of-towner you really should check it out simply for the sake of people-watching, window-shopping, and a fabulous (albeit expensive) meal. There is also an aquarium around there that is a pretty cool visit, and you can go to the marina for a cheap boat ride around San Francisco Bay... which will take you around Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate Bridge.
(NOTE: Been to SF twice... once for business, once for vacation. Love it and can't wait to go back!)Advice on traveling to San Francisco?
I just can give you this advice:
Buy your flight ticket through Virgin America ....They have the best service right away...i traveled from LAX to SFO and let me tell you i'm really happy with their attention! Comfortable seats, MP3 aboard you dont need to bring your i-pod with u....wht i loved the most was the lighting inside the plane...
Have a good trip!

Then, a few streets above that here is a road called Lombard street that is full of lodges, motels, hotels with the best prices and is not very far from the warf at all (I walked to and from all day).That whole area is pretty self expainitory, Everything is right there, me and my friends just hopped on Amtrak one day and decide to go there and got dropped off at the warf and neither one of us knew the area and never been there before, and we found everything %26amp; never got lost. Theres trollys %26amp; cabs in the area, but we just walked.I hope you have fun, we had a blast, but got scammed a couple of times. So just be careful, everytime we turned around there were scams going on, Everyone is trying to get your tourist money one way or another.By the end of the day it felt like a conspiracy!! Just don't be naive and youll do just fine. I hope this was helpful. Oh, and I'm really not sure about Napa...sorry. But i'm sure you can probably take the lightrail there...?
There are several hostels in S.F. I'm afraid I haven't tried any of them. You might pick by neighborhood.

Yes, public transportation is excellent, busses go everywhere. As the other guy said, you can take BART into the city from the airport for like $3. There are bus tours of Napa Valley, or you can take a Greyhound.
Good things to do? It depends on what you like, of course. I hate Fishermans' Wharf, it's fake and touristy, but lots of people love it. Chinatown is real, though, with shops full of everything from cheap tourist knick-knacks to rare and expensive works of art. Union Square is the old shopping district. North Beach is the Italian district with lots of cute restaurants. The Presidio is an old Army base with a museum, lots of pretty views. Fort Point is at the north end of the Presidio, a Civil War era fort that marks the point where San Francisco began. And there are some interesting 'ethnic' neighborhoods like the Mission District, the Richmond District, etc.
If you are in Golden Gate Park, be sure to go to the new DeYoung Museum, not the museum itself but the observation tower (you can go up the tower without paying admission to the museum). Great view from there!Advice on traveling to San Francisco?
Public transportation within San Francisco and the inner suburbs is comprehensive. Although once you get to rural areas like Wine Country, you're pretty much on your own.
Grab a good guidebook before you leave NYC. For San Francisco, I prefer Time Out over Lonely Planet. Time Out has more up-to-date listings and a better grasp of contemporary issues.
Of the HI hostels, the Fisherman's Wharf location is the best. The other two are both in the Tenderloin (an area known for drugs and poverty). Green Tortoise also runs a nice hostel in North Beach / Little Italy.

Napa Valley without a rental car is very difficult. If you can arrange a tour through your hostel, I suggest you do that.
Otherwise, you have to take the ferry to Vallejo, which departs from the Ferry Building (Embarcadero). Once you arrive in Vallejo, transfer to VINE bus #10. The duration is at least two hours, so you should plan to leave San Francisco early in the morning.

A week in San Francisco actually is not long enough to see everything, so don't be disappointed if you go home without having done something you wanted to do. The thing to do is prioritize.
I personally love Golden Gate Park and the deYoung Museum... and the Conservatory of Flowers. Castro District is nice for shopping and clubbing even if you aren't gay. Don't miss the Haight-Ashbury district, Pier 39, Market Street, or Fisherman's Wharf.
GGP, the deYoung Museum, Conservatory of Flowers, and Haight-Ashbury are good to do together in a single day if you don't have a car because they are all within easy walking distance of each other.
Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf are extensive tourist attractions and will take up one or two days themselves. Be sure to eat at Alioto's for AWESOME seafood and Italian dishes.
Exploring Market and Castro will take up yet another day, but are 鈥?again 鈥?well worth it.
Some people rave about Chinatown, which is within walking distance of Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39... although I personally have never been (yes, for real).
I have never been to Napa, or Sausalito, although I have heard that both can be EXTREMELY pricey. You can get to Sausalito by ferry easy enough, but a trip to Napa might be a bit costly for transportation unless you can find a group already going and get in on special pricing.
The public transportation in SF is amazing. You do not need a car there. Period. Take the BART where you can, and streetcars where you can't. If you just so happen to find some random place that neither of those go to, take a taxi... SF is very compact and cab fare is cheap, so just about anyone can afford cab fare.
Have a great trip and stay safe! :)
**** ADDED **** I agree with the other poster that the whole FIsherman's Wharf/Pier 39/Embarcadero area is overly touristy and annoying, but if you are an out-of-towner you really should check it out simply for the sake of people-watching, window-shopping, and a fabulous (albeit expensive) meal. There is also an aquarium around there that is a pretty cool visit, and you can go to the marina for a cheap boat ride around San Francisco Bay... which will take you around Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate Bridge.
(NOTE: Been to SF twice... once for business, once for vacation. Love it and can't wait to go back!)Advice on traveling to San Francisco?
I just can give you this advice:
Buy your flight ticket through Virgin America ....They have the best service right away...i traveled from LAX to SFO and let me tell you i'm really happy with their attention! Comfortable seats, MP3 aboard you dont need to bring your i-pod with u....wht i loved the most was the lighting inside the plane...
Have a good trip!
What are the best malls in San Francisco?
Me and my dad are doing kind of a 'staycation' thing. We live in the bay area, about 30 minutes from SF, but we never really go there and enjoy it. So we're planning a day to go to the Jewlery Center, then Butterfly's for lunch, window shopping in Union square, and then some malls. But the thing is, we don't really know any good malls. So that's why I'm asking what are the best malls(: Thanks! xoxoWhat are the best malls in San Francisco?
There are only 2 actual malls: Westfield and Stonestown. Based on the area you seem to be planning the rest of your day around, I'd say Westfield (right across Market St. from Union Square area).What are the best malls in San Francisco?
Crocker Galleria and Shonestown Galleria are both great places to shop in San Francisco. The Crocker Galleria isn't open on Sunday's, so don't go on a Sunday. It's located two blocks east of Union Square. Level 3 has all the restuarants. Levels 1 and 2 are all the stores. Some of the stores are Leonida's Chocolates, Tully's Coffee, Momento Press (a photo, book store) and Polo Ralph Lauren.
Shonestown Galleria has Borders, Bare Essentials, Macy's, Nordstrom, American Eagle, Abercrombie and Fitch, and many more stores. There's a good food court, as well. Lots of free parking.international trucks

What is the best thing to do on New Year's Eve in San Francisco for a group of girls in their mid-20's?
My suggestion is go to
http://www.discovering-sanfrancisco.com
There you'll find entertainment, nightclubs, must see sites, hotels, transportation and much much more. with maps, phone numbers and addresses.
This way you can plan on what you wanted to do and have a great time.

First time in San Francisco?
I'm taking a road trip from Seattle to San Francisco in the end of July. I've never been before, and we're only going to be there for 4 days. What are some things to do? I would really like so ideas of things to do that people veiw as "MUST DO'S". Also, I am really intersted in finding a really good place in the area to see live reggae music. Please give me some ideas! Also any idea of things to do in between Seattle and San Francisco would be great too!First time in San Francisco?
I can't help with reggae music, just am not a fan. But pick up a copy of the SF weekly or SF bay guardian when you get to the city and check out the club listings.
Here is my Must Do San Francisco
1. Ride a Cable Car, the only moving historical landmark in the world. Stop off at the Cable Car Barn at Washington and Mason to get a full understanding of this unique form of transportation. Riding the Powell Hyde line will allow you to see Lombard Street the famous crooked street.
2. Visit Alcatraz, this former prison is the most popular destination in San Francisco. The bay cruise to and from the island will give you the opportunity to see the skyline from the water a unique perspective. During the height of tourist season it is wise to purchase tickets before you arrive as tours are often sold out days to a week in advance.
http://www.alcatrazcruises.com
3. Visit Coit Tower, Beautiful murals inside, impressive bay view from the tower or Pioneer Park at the base. Then descend Telegraph hill via the Filbert Steps on the East side of the park for a unique view of how folks on Telegraph Hill live, more beautiful bay views and the chance to hear and see the famous Parrots of Telegraph Hill.
4. Golden Gate Bridge, not just a feat of engineering, this 1.7 mile span offers incredible views of The City, the bay and the Pacific ocean. Be sure to visit Ft. Point under the bridge for a different view of this San Francisco Icon.
5. Explore Golden Gate Park, this large urban park can consume a whole day. The New Academy Science, Japanese Tea Garden, Deyoung Museum [American Art], the Arboretum, Bison Paddock, and Paddle boats are all worth a look and watch the sun go down over the Pacific over a drink or dinner at the Beach Chalet.
6. Chinatown, the most densely populated portion of San Francisco offers the largest Chinese center for shopping, food and unique architecture found outside of Asia. The best place to buy souvenirs to take home to friends and family.
7. North Beach, traditionally the Italian section of the city which has no beach but abounds in quaint shops, great restaurants and The City鈥檚 best coffee options.
8. Civic Center, the largest collection of Beaux Arts buildings in the US. Home to San Francisco City Hall, with a dome larger than the US Capital, the Asian Art Museum and the Modern San Francisco Library with its San Francisco History Room housing an eclectic collection of city artifacts and photographs.
9. Buena Vista Gardens, this urban park is home to; the Museum of Modern Art the Museum of The African Diaspora, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Contemporary Jewish Museum, Cartoon Art Museum and the Metreon will keep you entertained for hours.
10. Twin Peaks, see The City and the bay spread out at your feet. Especially captivating at night when the lights seem to go on for ever.

On the way down, you could stop at the site where Mt. St. Helens erupted. that's just north of Vancouver, as I recall. If you decide to leave I-5 at Grants Pass, Oregon and cut over to US-101, make a stop in Leggett, California and see the drive-through redwood tree. Yes, I said "drive-through redwood tree."First time in San Francisco?
Be sure to take the coastal highway the entire way. It's not as fast as Interstate 5, but it's much, much more scenic. Once your in SF, obviously check out the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Fisherman's Wharf (The WWII era submarine is especially cool), Chinatown/North Beach (they're right next to each other). If you like museums, visit the Legion of Honor and the Asian Art Museum (the Academy of Sciences is overrated) If you like modern art check out MoMa and De Young museum. One of my favorite free activities is watching the wild parrots at the parks around the Embarcadero Center.

Where should we stay in San Francisco?
We will be traveling to San Francisco the first week of August and are looking to do "touristy" things--Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Muir Woods, trip to Napa Valley, etc.
Where should we stay that would be convenient and CHEAP? We don't really care about the hotel since we'll only be there to sleep pretty much but we do want a safe neighborhood that's convenient. We're willing to do like Super 8 or the like, but don't know where to look!
(Also, is a rental car needed or could we rely on public transportation?)Where should we stay in San Francisco?
If you are looking for inexpensive and central location I would suggest South of Market, several inexpensive chain hotels there along with a few more boutique style hotels like these:
http://www.somahotels.com
The most central location is Union Square but it will be slightly more expensive. The plus being that there are many more options for dining and entertainment.
Forgo the rental car, the city can be confusing to drive in and parking is a major pain in the a$$ most hotels charge upwards of $30 to park. You can rent a car for the day when you go to Napa and Muir woods.
SF has good public transportation so purchase a multi day or weekly pass good on cable cars, trollies, buses and light rail within The City.Where should we stay in San Francisco?
With regard to the car rental; the internet is a good place to check and compare rates from different car rental companies. When searching for internet car rental specials, you can also try to check car rental rates using a discount code. There are hundreds of membership programs and professional associations that offer car rental discount codes to their members. You can find a list of car rental discount codes for 8 major car rental companies, at http://www.best-car-rental-tips.com/disc鈥?/a>Where should we stay in San Francisco?
Since it looks as if you're going to be focusing on places at the north end of the city, you might look into the motels along Lombard. They are cheap(er), and have parking.
This is a lovely little place where I always put my friends. It's not on the busy street, and is one of the few places with a swimming pool; although in August you may not want one:

What's fun/cheap tp do in San Francisco?
I am going to San Francisco this weekend, and i want to do some fun and cheap things to do. I want to go to Golden Gate Park, and isn't there a beach in San Francisco, North Beach or something? Got any good ideas?What's fun/cheap tp do in San Francisco?
Golden Gate park is a great option. There are tons of free Gardens to Explore and small lakes. The museums are not too expensive if you are in the mood. The Japanese Tea Garden is wonderful and not expensive either.
San Francisco does have some beaches though the water is cold.
North Beach is actually kind of like a little Italy area. Lots of coffee shops and Italian restaurants to eat at. This borders Chinatown. A nice area to walk around.
San Francisco is a walking city. You can probably have a good time just walking around. If you like photography you can enjoy taking photo's.What's fun/cheap tp do in San Francisco?
There are fun things to do in SF cheap. Free to be exact. Golden Gate Park is a great place to go to. It is free.
http://www.golden-gate-park.com/?gclid=C鈥?/a>
There are beaches in SF, North Beach isn't one of them. That is the Italian area of town. There are the real beaches of: Ocean Beach, Baker Beach and China Beach and all the Bay side coves and such. The beaches are free too. Walk up or down Polk Street, Fillmore Street, Haight Street and check out Chinatown... all free.What's fun/cheap tp do in San Francisco?
I'm sorry there is nothing cheap in San Francisco. Even gasoline is over $4.00 a gallon. When Kennedy was in office it was only .25 (my dad always pulled stuff like that)! Honestly I moved to Iowa 9 years ago and was shocked at how inexpensive home were here. Have a good time.What's fun/cheap tp do in San Francisco?
Hi, I'd say go to Pier 39 That is always fun however I don't know about cheap but fun. Make sure to stop at the crepe place and get a banana %26amp; nutella crepe, it's sooo good,and go check out the sea otters too.

Question Regarding The San Francisco Giants?
After seeing them take 2 games from the Brewers, does anyone think they will have a chance to contend with the dodgers and D-backs for the NL West? I mean they put up 19 runs in 3-games, their bullpen has been looking solid, and cain threw amazingly today. I know its way early, but these are all great sign and things we needed to improve on from last year..
Your Thought?Question Regarding The San Francisco Giants?
Im a giants fan and even though its only been 3 games, I can see a big difference in this team than the past 3 teams the giants have had. Its not about setting records an putting watching older veterans put up great numbers, its back seeing a team who plays hard and actually cares about winning. I think the giants have a chance to win it all, because they have the best pitching in the NL West. Its all up to Barry Zito and Randy Johnson to give the Giants a consistant winning performances. Zito needs to step it up big time this year.Question Regarding The San Francisco Giants?
i agree but the offense wont always be this good although i hope it will but in reality we still need a hitter right now with our current roster yes we can contend and play meaningful games in september but we wont make it past october 1st without a good hitter.Question Regarding The San Francisco Giants?
If winning 80-82 games will win the West, then yes I think they can do it.Question Regarding The San Francisco Giants?
Nopee.!

This is my top ten must-see list in SF:
Golden Gate Bridge: Take a walk across it and see the beautiful views of SF and the bay,
Golden Gate Park: When you love nature, this is the most beautiful place to be in contact with it.
Twin Peaks: To have a romantic moment with you "significant one", while watching the sunset having the city as background
Downtown: Walk on Market streets and see all the restaurants ans shopping stores in there.
Alcatraz: I don't have comment for this option because i don't like it. sorry
Fisherman Wharf: Restaurants and seals to see
Embarcadero: To catch the best pictures of the Bay Bridge...and to see some weird people selling weird stuff as well...
Here's more things you can see in SF:
Lombard Street
Japanese Tea Garden
Grace Cathedral
Exploratorium
Chinatown
Enjoy your trip in the most beutiful and diverse city!!What to do/visit in San Francisco?
There a lot of things to do in San Francisco like the Coit Tower The tower offers fantastic views of San Francisco including the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park ("Aquatic Park"), Alcatraz, Pier 39, Angel Island, Treasure Island, the Bay Bridge, Russian Hill, the Financial District, Lombard Street, and Nob Hill.
Palace of Fine Arts The exhibition hall, which originally housed Impressionist paintings during the exposition, is now home to the Exploratorium, a state of the art interactive science museum." go to http://www.discovering-sanfrancisco.com
You'll find a lot of places to go with addresses phone numbers and maps as well as transportation.
I live in the Bay area. You can always goto Golden Gate Park, the GG Bridge and overlooks on the Marin Headlands, Coit tower, Lombard Street, ATT Park, busincess district and the coast from Pacific Heights down thru Half Moon Bay and over Devil's Slide. We have just about everything here. You can just drive around the area and enjoy it. Have fun and I hope you enjoy your stay.What to do/visit in San Francisco?
It depends what you like to do. The City is great for just walking around. There's always a lot going on. South of Market is where most of the nightclubs are. North Beach also has good nightlife, but it's a bit older crowd. You should go to Alcatraz if you've never been there, just to see the views from the boat (the island itself is disappointing now that they no longer let people roam around as much as they used to).
lots, check out the castro, lots of bums but none would lay a finger on u cuz they all gay, another is hunters points, you'll be the only white people there and you can experience first hand what the ghetto is like (go during the day..night not too safe), downtownt o do some shopping, Jtown for food and close by is fillmore with a lot of different kinds of stores...email me more cuz i got lots of ideas
LOl yeah go to chinatown, its hilarious cuz all my chinese friends are always like, "we get so much more business from white people when we pretend to not be able to speak english well" =P. also its greatthere because u can point out to your mom that MOST of those stores have prostitution undergroundWhat to do/visit in San Francisco?

Enjoy your trip in the most beutiful and diverse city!!What to do/visit in San Francisco?
There a lot of things to do in San Francisco like the Coit Tower The tower offers fantastic views of San Francisco including the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park ("Aquatic Park"), Alcatraz, Pier 39, Angel Island, Treasure Island, the Bay Bridge, Russian Hill, the Financial District, Lombard Street, and Nob Hill.
Palace of Fine Arts The exhibition hall, which originally housed Impressionist paintings during the exposition, is now home to the Exploratorium, a state of the art interactive science museum." go to http://www.discovering-sanfrancisco.com
You'll find a lot of places to go with addresses phone numbers and maps as well as transportation.
I live in the Bay area. You can always goto Golden Gate Park, the GG Bridge and overlooks on the Marin Headlands, Coit tower, Lombard Street, ATT Park, busincess district and the coast from Pacific Heights down thru Half Moon Bay and over Devil's Slide. We have just about everything here. You can just drive around the area and enjoy it. Have fun and I hope you enjoy your stay.What to do/visit in San Francisco?
It depends what you like to do. The City is great for just walking around. There's always a lot going on. South of Market is where most of the nightclubs are. North Beach also has good nightlife, but it's a bit older crowd. You should go to Alcatraz if you've never been there, just to see the views from the boat (the island itself is disappointing now that they no longer let people roam around as much as they used to).
lots, check out the castro, lots of bums but none would lay a finger on u cuz they all gay, another is hunters points, you'll be the only white people there and you can experience first hand what the ghetto is like (go during the day..night not too safe), downtownt o do some shopping, Jtown for food and close by is fillmore with a lot of different kinds of stores...email me more cuz i got lots of ideas
LOl yeah go to chinatown, its hilarious cuz all my chinese friends are always like, "we get so much more business from white people when we pretend to not be able to speak english well" =P. also its greatthere because u can point out to your mom that MOST of those stores have prostitution undergroundWhat to do/visit in San Francisco?

Do they have fireworks and free events to celebrate New Year's Eve in San Francisco?
Do they have anything like the ball dropping in NY? You know something going on in the square where you can go and see in the New Year with a firework display and things going on?Do they have fireworks and free events to celebrate New Year's Eve in San Francisco?
There are fireworks at midnight along the Embarcadero (Waterfront), and free entertainment stages from Pier 39 to Ghirardelli Square.
If you go to Union Square, they used to drop an olive into a giant glass of martini. However, the anti-alcohol puritans got involved, and now the celebrations are far more informal (and officially, unsanctioned by the city).
The big hotels (Hyatt, St. Francis, Mark Hopkins, etc.) in the area continue to host many private parties, though cover charges are steep.Do they have fireworks and free events to celebrate New Year's Eve in San Francisco?
They have fireworks throughout SF on the spots where there are water, and yes, there is this little ball dropping thing there too, but the ball is way smaller and not as famous as the one in NY.Do they have fireworks and free events to celebrate New Year's Eve in San Francisco?
They have fireworks, it nice to drive across the Golden Gate bridge and watch the fire works.

Do you need a visa if visiting San Francisco USA?
I know things have changed in last few years so unsure of what I need to go from UK to USA on a holiday?Do you need a visa if visiting San Francisco USA?
IF YOU HAVE A BRITISH PASSPORT YOU DO NOT NEED A VISA YOU BELONG TO A VISA WAIVER COUNTRYDo you need a visa if visiting San Francisco USA?
if you are traveling for tourism, pretty sure UK citizens just need a passport for the USA.Do you need a visa if visiting San Francisco USA?
British citizens do not need a visa, your passport and customs declaration is sufficient. Customs and immigration at SFO International Airport is relatively straight-forward.
What you don't want to do is fly through Canada, regardless of whether it's cheaper or not. You'll have to go through another round of inspections in Canadian airports (by U.S. customs) before boarding your connecting flight to San Francisco.
And without an American federal court to keep an eye on them up there (Canadian officials will not intervene), those folks are notoriously abusive to passengers.Do you need a visa if visiting San Francisco USA?
Not that I know of but the airline will know..You of course need a passport. Current or they will not let you on the plane in the UK

Turritopsis nutricula, the immortal jellyfish, is a hydrozoan whose medusa, or jellyfish, form can revert to the polyp stage after becoming sexually mature. It is the only known case of a metazoan capable of reverting completely to a sexually immature, colonial stage after having reached sexual maturity as a solitary stage.[2][3] It does this through the cell development process of transdifferentiation. Cell transdifferentiation is when the jellyfish "alters the differentiated state of the cell and transforms it into a new cell". In this process the medusa of the immortal jellyfish is transformed into the polyps of a new polyp colony. First, the umbrella reverts itself and then the tentacles and mesoglea get resorbed. The reverted medusa then attaches itself to the substrate by the end that had been at the opposite end of the umbrella and starts giving rise to new polyps to form the new colony. Theoretically, this process can go on indefinitely, effectively rendering the jellyfish biologically immortal,[3][4] although in nature, most Turritopsis, like other medusae, are likely to succumb to predation or disease in the plankton stage, without reverting to the polyp form.[5] No single specimen has been observed for any extended period, so it is not currently possible to estimate the age of an individual, and so even if this species has the potential for immortality, there is no laboratory evidence of many generations surviving from any individual.What can I do in San Francisco?
In addition to the GGB, Alcatrez, Valencia, Chinatown, Farmers Market, the Haight, the beach, and the Castro, I'd also check out the Academy of Sciences and eat a bread bowl at Fisherman's Wharf.

I am going to the USA in May 2010 and I want to visit SAN FRANCISCO how many days should I go for?
Hi, can you recommend how long I will need in the city to cover all the major sights? What other things are there to do apart from the obvious attractions? I would like to visit the Alcatraz, what is the best way? Finally, can you recommend some good affordable hotels.
Many Thanks,
JonI am going to the USA in May 2010 and I want to visit SAN FRANCISCO how many days should I go for?
Three full days minimum! Buy the San Francisco CityPass--it gives you unlimited rides on the Trolley Cars and the Muni System (bus type deal) and entry to all of the best major attractions without having to stand in line to buy tickets. Whenever I stay in San Francisco I use Priceline and bid Embarcadero East or Union Square and can usually hit a four star hotel for $79 a night. Or if you go three star max out at $69 and you can add Fisherman's wharf. Look at BetterBidding to learn how to make the best bids.
Whatever you do, do not rent a car! It is impossible and expensive to park and you can get everywhere you want to go by BART. Muni or Cable car! BART even will bring you to downtown for less than $10! Enjoy, it's a great city!I am going to the USA in May 2010 and I want to visit SAN FRANCISCO how many days should I go for?
4 or 5 days would be nice but at least 3. Start with trolley rides to the wharf and stroll from one end to the other, visit the Piers, take a boat trip and go to San Francisco park for a day. Check out the Buena Vista at the end of the Hyde/Powell trolley car for good food, a mixed crown, an Irish coffee and their home made soup of the day. You can view the bay from here too. Love the street vendors in this area too for souvenirs to take home. Visit the trolley car museum for a bit. Check out nearby Muir woods for really awesome redwood trees.I am going to the USA in May 2010 and I want to visit SAN FRANCISCO how many days should I go for?
First stop by and purchase a MUNI visitor's passport. Also pick up a MUNI map. (Drivers are very helpful and many times other passengers can answer your question. If you need more answers, call the city information hotline by dialing 311. It'll make your life much easier, more enjoyable if you allow enough time to see the sites leisurely. They are for 1, 3, or 7 days. I'd recommend that you stay at least 5 or 6 days. Bring a camera. You'll enjoy yourself if you can mix in with the residents, too.
Carry your valuables close to you and watch your stuff. I ride public transportation all the time and stopped carrying a handbag a long time ago. Either a waistpack or a secure purse or backpack you can hang on your shoulder and keep your eyes on at all times (even when hanging on to a pole in a crowded bus.
I can't answer all the questions but I just thought it was important to tell you about the only way to get around SF. Parking is extremely tight and expensive. Don't even think of renting a car for getting around the city.
I know you'll have a good time.
http://www.sfmta.com/cms/mfares/passport鈥?/a>I am going to the USA in May 2010 and I want to visit SAN FRANCISCO how many days should I go for?
I would recommend at least four days to get at least a taste of all the city has to offer. But if you stay a week you can make daytrips to Yosemite, Wine Country, and Monterey or Tahoe.
Alcatraz you should reserve tickets online as it is popular and fills up quickly. If you don't want to get off on the Island the other ferrys will pass by the Island giving you a look....
Must sees:
Fort Point
Marin Headlands/Sausalito or Tiburon for City Views across the bay
Ferry ride (Alcatraz or other) have to get on the water at least once
Walk the embarcadero - Ferry Building to Fisherman's Wharf. Stopping to eat snack as you go.....
China Town (eat at Louies [dim sum], Chung King, Hunan Home, or R%26amp;G Lounge for clean not too expensive Chinese)
If you want to splurge on Dim Sum go to Yank Sing and order the Shanghai Dumplings.
Golden Gate Park - great place to walk and multiple museums - probably takes a whole day to visit properly.
Cliff House/Land's End for nice views of Ocean (vs. Bay). Cliff House bistro nice place for breakfast w/view.
Rocco's or Ella's good place for breakfast with no views.....
Japantown (Sundance) former Kabukhi Theater is great place to catch a movie (bar inside theater- reservable seats-brand new revovation) and you can get some Japanese gifts/treats in Japantown.
Shopping streets - Union Square, Union Street (not the same thing), Chestnut Street, Hayes Valley, Haight St. (Haight is a must if you want to see the "freaky" side of the city.
Fun places to get a drink - Betelnut, Americano, Gordon Biersch , Thirsty Bear, Irish Bank (fish and chips too).
Pac Bell park (see Giants game) great ball park
For hotels - I highly recommend you look at Hotwire and Priceline. Using priceline bidding system I generally find three and four store hotels all over the world for less than $100 a night. This includes for me Sydney Harbor with view of Opera House for $91 a night in Hyatt and New York City Millenimum Hotel in Times Square for $86 a night.
Or look at VRBO.com and rent an apartment. I did this in Paris and Rome and saved a bundle on housing costs!
Good Luck
5 days is a good stay depending on what you want to do and see. motels are expensive if you have a car stay pass the san francisco area stay in Marin county good luck hope you like san francisco its pretty.

Fun places to visit in downtown San Francisco?
Sadly, I won't have as much time there as I'd like, so these things can't take more than maybe 2 hours each to do. I'll be going in February.Fun places to visit in downtown San Francisco?
Eat a Juicy burrito at LA TAQUERIA on Mission St.
Drink English beer pumped straight from the cellar at MAGNOLIA PUB BREWERY
Cycle around The PRESIDIO
See the inescapable ALCATRAZZ
Watch and heckle a spoken word performance at CAFE DU NORD
After dark catch abrew and beating at BONDAGE A GO GO at the CAT CLUB
Eat some crabs at FISHERMAN'S WHARF
Buy something at THE CITY LIGHTS BOOKSTORE
and do not forget the FERRY PLAZA FARMERS MARKETFun places to visit in downtown San Francisco?
If you only have a few hours in SF skip Alcatraz and Fisherman's Wharf and see the real SF!
Here a a few things that are close together and will allow you to see a good portion of the city in just a few hours.
Start at Buena Vista Gardens, [South of Market between 4th and 3rd streets] this urban park is home to the Museum of Modern Art the Museum of The African Diaspora, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and the Metreon can keep you entertained for hours. Nearby is the Cartoon Art Museum the only museum in the world devoted to the promotion and preservation of theatre arts.
From South of Market walk to Chinatown, the most densely populated portion of San Francisco offers an abundance of shopping, food and unique architecture found outside of Asia. The best place to buy souvenirs to take home to friends and family.
Chinatown blends into North Beach at Broadway. This traditionally Italian section of the city which has no beach but abounds in quaint shops, great restaurants and The City鈥檚 best coffee options.
From North Beach climb Telegraph Hill to Coit Tower. Beautiful murals inside, impressive bay view from the tower or Pioneer Park at the base. Then descend Telegraph hill via the Filbert Steps on the East side of the park for a unique view of how folks on Telegraph Hill live, more beautiful bay views and the chance to hear and see the famous Parrots of Telegraph Hill.
Make your way south along the Embarcadero and have a meal, coffee, or drink at the Ferry Building which houses many great food shops.
as a SF native, if I were visiting I can tell you that if I had only two hours, I would visit North Beach and walk the neighborhood before having a great Italian meal at Little Joes. You will be able to experience a little of the Italian and Chinatown sections of town and a great meal at one of the local favorites. You should know though that this is just a tiny slice of SF... there is so much more!Fun places to visit in downtown San Francisco?
Climb to the top of Coit Tower and get a view of the whole city, including both bridges. The Ferry Building is a neat experience with some wonderful food. And of course Fisherman's Wharf has wonderful seafood. Make sure to keep going along the pier (as the numbers climb) past pier 39 until you get to the seafood stalls that have wonderful fresh soups and other seafood!
Walk/drive around, especially Lombard street and the surrounding area. Alcatraz is a must see. There are great restaurants, especially in North Beach (Little Italy).Fun places to visit in downtown San Francisco?
Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 37 are my favorites.
Alcatraz is fun too, but would take up all your time it sounds like.

and do not forget the FERRY PLAZA FARMERS MARKETFun places to visit in downtown San Francisco?
If you only have a few hours in SF skip Alcatraz and Fisherman's Wharf and see the real SF!
Here a a few things that are close together and will allow you to see a good portion of the city in just a few hours.
Start at Buena Vista Gardens, [South of Market between 4th and 3rd streets] this urban park is home to the Museum of Modern Art the Museum of The African Diaspora, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and the Metreon can keep you entertained for hours. Nearby is the Cartoon Art Museum the only museum in the world devoted to the promotion and preservation of theatre arts.
From South of Market walk to Chinatown, the most densely populated portion of San Francisco offers an abundance of shopping, food and unique architecture found outside of Asia. The best place to buy souvenirs to take home to friends and family.
Chinatown blends into North Beach at Broadway. This traditionally Italian section of the city which has no beach but abounds in quaint shops, great restaurants and The City鈥檚 best coffee options.
From North Beach climb Telegraph Hill to Coit Tower. Beautiful murals inside, impressive bay view from the tower or Pioneer Park at the base. Then descend Telegraph hill via the Filbert Steps on the East side of the park for a unique view of how folks on Telegraph Hill live, more beautiful bay views and the chance to hear and see the famous Parrots of Telegraph Hill.
Make your way south along the Embarcadero and have a meal, coffee, or drink at the Ferry Building which houses many great food shops.
as a SF native, if I were visiting I can tell you that if I had only two hours, I would visit North Beach and walk the neighborhood before having a great Italian meal at Little Joes. You will be able to experience a little of the Italian and Chinatown sections of town and a great meal at one of the local favorites. You should know though that this is just a tiny slice of SF... there is so much more!Fun places to visit in downtown San Francisco?
Climb to the top of Coit Tower and get a view of the whole city, including both bridges. The Ferry Building is a neat experience with some wonderful food. And of course Fisherman's Wharf has wonderful seafood. Make sure to keep going along the pier (as the numbers climb) past pier 39 until you get to the seafood stalls that have wonderful fresh soups and other seafood!

San Francisco vacation ideas?
I'm 19 years-old and looking to organize a trip to San francisco with my Uncle and Cousins.
My uncle will take care of the flight, hotel and rental car but I want to help him plan what we do any suggestions?
It will be myself, my uncle and my cousins
10+11 year- old both girls.
Also, we will be staying about 2 weeks so I was wondering 3 things
- What areas outside of San Fransisco is there but still in the bay area?
- What cities should we drive to outside of the bay area? We will be renting a car so this will be fine.
- Is Yosemite National Park a good place to visit?
What neighborhoods should we visit?
ThanksSan Francisco vacation ideas?
If you are in the bay area by all means visit Yosemite, the raw power of it is worth the trip.
Outside SF but worth the trip
Wine Country - Napa, Sonoma, Mendcino Coast
Muir Woods
Here is my list of Must Do San Francisco:
1. Ride a Cable Car, the only moving historical landmark in the world. Stop off at the Cable Car Barn at Washington and Mason to get a full understanding of this unique form of transportation. Riding the Powell Hyde line will allow you to walk down Lombard Street, the famous crooked street.
2. Visit Alcatraz, this former prison is the most popular destination in San Francisco. The bay cruise to and from the island will give you the opportunity to see the skyline from the water a unique perspective. During the height of tourist season it is wise to purchase tickets before you arrive as tours are often sold out days to a week in advance.

3. Discover Coit Tower, Beautiful murals inside, impressive bay view from the tower or Pioneer Park at the base. After the tower descend Telegraph hill via the Filbert Steps on the east side of the park for a unique view of how folks on Telegraph Hill live. More beautiful bay views and the chance to hear and see the famous Parrots of Telegraph Hill.
4. Golden Gate Bridge, not just a feat of engineering, this 1.7 mile span offers incredible views of The City, the bay and the Pacific ocean. Be sure to visit Ft. Point under the bridge for a different view of this San Francisco Icon.
5. Explore Golden Gate Park, this large urban park can consume a whole day [or two]. The New Academy Science, Japanese Tea Garden, Deyoung Museum [American Art], the Arboretum, Bison Paddock, and Paddle boats are all worth a look and watch the sun go down over the Pacific over a drink or dinner at the Beach Chalet.
6. Chinatown, the most densely populated portion of San Francisco offers the largest Chinese center for shopping, food and unique architecture found outside of Asia. The best place to buy souvenirs to take home to friends and family.
7. North Beach, traditionally the Italian section of the city which has no beach but abounds in quaint shops, great restaurants and The City鈥檚 best coffee options.
8. Civic Center, the largest collection of Beaux Arts buildings in the US. Home to San Francisco City Hall, with a dome larger than the US Capital, the Asian Art Museum and the Modern San Francisco Library with its San Francisco History Room housing an eclectic collection of city artifacts and photographs.
9. Buena Vista Gardens, this urban park is home to; the Museum of Modern Art the Museum of The African Diaspora, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Contemporary Jewish Museum, Cartoon Art Museum and the Metreon will keep you entertained for hours.
10. Twin Peaks, see The City and the bay spread out at your feet. Especially captivating at night when the lights seem to go on for ever.San Francisco vacation ideas?
Oh and a few more questions
- I understand that Fisherman's Wharf is considered a tourist trap but is it okay for a first itme visitor that has never seen it and hoe close can you get to the seals?
- Would you reccomend six flags?
Interesting things to see in SF include:
Alcatraz (note: make sure you make reservations in advance), Golden Gate Park (including the CA academy of sciences, the deYoung museum, the Japanese tea garden, etc) Fisherman's Warf/Pier 39/the Maritime Museum, the Exploratorium, the Golden Gate Bridge and Fort Point, Haight Ashbury, and Twin Peaks.
You'll also likely want to head up to Marin and see the Marin Headlands, Muir Woods and Mt Tamalpais. Take a ferry from San Francisco to Sausalito or back. A great day trip/overnight trip is to drive down to Santa Cruz and/or Monterey (which has one of the world's best aquariums).
Yosemite is a must see attraction and 4-5 hours from the city. Allow 2-3 days.
You can also drive to LA in a day (6+ hours depending upon the route) and the coastal route is actually quite spectacular. Doing a route from SF to LA via the coast, then back via Yosemite would make a great vacation.San Francisco vacation ideas?
Ohhh San Francisco is nothing but a lovely place, if you've been to the place just check out Aquarium of the Bay, Coit Tower, Exploratorium, San Francisco Cable Car Museum, Palace of Fine Arts Theatre, Grace Cathedral or California Academy of Sciences.
