What should we visit in San Francisco? / Re: TERMINALE S1: You can start commenting HERE!
« Last post by guest36 on November 20, 2016, 03:45:56 pm »
Hi everyone ! I'm glad to do this road trip with you and i'm very exited to visit one of the most beautiful city, so i made a program for this hoidays ;D

*At the beginning, I agree with Théo and his idéa to visit Haight-Ashubury because it's a very popular, colored and beautiful district in the world. I really want to see these raimbows pedestrian crossing.

*Then, we might go to the Golden Gate Park, one of the biggest park in the world, he's just huge (412 ha :o ). And what better way to go than cable-cars. They are one of the San Fransisco's symbols and I think it would be a mistake if we don't take them.

*After that, we must go to the Golden Gate Bridge because, like Pauline said, it's more that a simple bridge, it's THE most iconic symbol of SF.

*In the meantime, we should visit the most dangerous, iconic and secure prison: ALCATRAZ. Like Nicolas said, it's a place with many misteries and legend. Only 3 people succeeded their escape  8) .

*At the end, I don't think that Chinatown is a great choise. While it's a beautiful district, we have a limited time and this district is present in other cities like New-York and London (maybe another trip  ;) ).

Please let your opinion with this program .

Good evening everyone,
For my part the visit of the golden gate is an excelent idea because as Theo says it is a mythical place and therefore unavoidable. And then why not go on deck and underneath, by boat, so we could see the bay of SF up close. ;)
The idea of Chinatown also seems to me a very good idea, being in New Yorck I could make the comparison of these two quarters.
I join Simon and Nicolas for the visit to the famous prison of Alcatraz, I think it is a second place to go when you make a trip to SF.
Here is my opinion, thank you  :) :) :)

Hi everybody!
Personally, I am not very attracted by chinese culture but it can be interesting to discover their customs, traditional clothes and cooking.
I think it will be cool to take the City Pass because it costs only 86$ and it allows to visit many places in this town like the Aquarium of the Bay, California Academy of Sciences, the Museum of Modern Art, but we can also enjoy a cruise on the bay, 7 days of cable cars and other advantages!
We can also go to Union Square because it's a lively district and there's a lot of shops like Macy, for example, and theaters. A big park is in the center of this place where we can relax. Moreover, we can go there in cable car!
I am agree with Prescillia about the visit of Alcatraz Island which is intriguing, seems very interesting and will give us chills ;)

What do you think? I am waiting impatiently for your answers!!

Hello !
For our Trip ! I think that to visits Golden Gates Bridge could be very interesting !
But I totally agree with you Hours, to go to visits chinatown would be a good idea, it is according to me one of the place of the most famous of the world, we often hear about it ! This district is know all over the world.
According to me to visit this district would be as a king of vacation in China ! We could thus learn on this comunity so particular, as the food traditional chinese, I would really like to enjoy noodles, the peking duck or "Wonton" !
It's a very alive street and frequented by a large number of nobody, the music is Festive. I already imagine the parties chinese with all their disguises as can be seen in some repports ! I would love hearing the magnificient are chinese violins.
I think that it is absolutely necessary to go to it ! It Squeezed beneficial for ours culture as well as for ours moral ! We are possible that to be happy in such conditions ! Do you agree with me ?  ???

Hey everyone!
There are so many great ideas! I think I'm really going to love this trip to San Francisco!
I have to agree with Pierre, his plan is great! I almost think we should take an entire day just for the cable cars, though.  I know almost everyone wants to use them, except for maybe a few, and there are so many places to visit! Don't worry, Chloe, it's not dangerous at all, plenty of people use them every day, there's nothing to worry about.
Apparently, there are three cable car routes actually in operation, and all three of them are different. One of them goes right through Chinatown, so it could definitely be useful for us to go there. I know a lot of us want to go there, so it could definitely be the perfect occasion! Another cable car stops right in front of the Aquatic Park near Ghiradelli Square, so that could be interesting if everyone else wants to go there.  :P
There are lots of other interesting museums in San Francisco too, so we'll definitely have plenty to do if you're all interested! It would be the opportunity to discover more of this beautiful city and it's people. I'm sure there is so much to discover!  :D
I also love Chloe and Juliette's idea about going to the cookie factory, it sounds delicious!  :P
I'm especially excited for the Golden Gate Bridge! I've heard it's really beautiful and majestic. We'll have to take lots of pictures when we're there!
Sylvain's idea for the two parks we could visit was really good too, it seems like a good plan!
Let me know what you guys think, and what you prefer or not for our awesome trip!
Talk to you soon,

 Hello everyone! :) I'm agree with all of you, I Think to visit the Golden Gates and China Town is a good idea, but I noticed no body talk about visiting Alcatraz Island with its famous prison. I think is an interesting thing to see, it's a cult place! :P . And the Golden Gates Park, it's an place that I really want to see too, with its japenese tea garden! We can take a french breakfast at Mama on North Beach and also go to the Dock Pier 39/Fisherman for see the sea lions!
Do you agree with me? ??? 8)

Hi everybody i read your comments and i look at some tourist website on San Franscico and i think we really need to go at Chinatown for discover the chinese tradition ,hear the chinese music on the street , taste chinese food , visit the parks around , ...  . But i think everybody know what we really need to see : The Golden Gate Bridge , the symbol of San Franscico and its why we need to see it absolutely . With the cable cars we will be able to visit Chinatown really quickly and we also can go from Chinatown to The Golden Gate Bridge without getting tired and of we take all the cable cars together its will be funny . I don't know if there are other interesting places at San Franciso so don't hesitate to say if you know cool places . BYE !!!

you've all good opinions! For me i would like to visit the penitentiary of Alcatraz with all its legend and his architect. I want to confirm all the legends i've heard about it.It's a must see cause some thill are good for the healt. After all i've heard about it like "No one can escape this isle" and ther'z actualy some prisonners who did it. i think it have to be the first place to see to have a good and fun trip after the events.

so i said to you to have goods night before the trips. ;)

hello,  :) for the trip to san Francisco, I'm agree with amber kamilia lea and théo I think  if we go to Golden bridge at San Francisco it's the step that can't miss it, it is really a mythic place what could be more beautiful than to offer itself for one moment to admire the night falling  down from the bridge with its orange color, and see the car's light and city appear at the night, to hear the noise of gulls as well as to be able to admire water of the strait of Golden Gate to borrow by cargo boats.
And I also think that it is really interesting to go to visit chinatown, which is a really magic and unique place, with it good atmosphere where we can so well eat the whole in an atmosphere friendly with welcoming people, go to make a small stroll in its parks, his lots of shops where we can buy memories, as well as to be to plunge in one new universe and to discover a new culture, which we can obviously visit has the help of cable cars.
By hoping to have convinced you for this trip and not to miss its wonderful places!

Hi everyone ! I'm actually planning a trip in San Francisco and I'm so enthusiastic to tell you about the results of my research :D
At first sight,
Chinatown is for me the main place to discover : in fact, it is a gorgeous time and space travel in China, the trip is going to be awesome with this cultural and ethnical mix ! (it's also an excellent place to eat  ;D), for the first impression in the United States of America, hearing the district's living is perfect to be the most sensitive with the odors of Chinese food, sounds of the violins and the discover of all these small and typical shops as well street vendors and statues like lions, Chinese medicine, divinities or stores who sell katanas ;)
Secondly,
After this walk in Chinatown, we can go to the Golden Bridge, an unavoidable place to go ! But, the idea is to take a cable car who is the typical and most effective means of transport due to the slopes of San Francisco. We can hear the typical sounds of these machines : the bell to tell when they start or when they stop and the sound of the cables rubbing underground: in my opinion, its a very comfortable and pleasant transport to take for a class.
Then,
After all of these bell sounds, it's time to see the iconic landmark of San Francisco : The Golden Gate Bridge, which is definitely not made in gold but steel and sweat  ;D this bridge is very very huge (2.737 m !) but the view at this top is just incredible : with a rainy day or in the beginning of the journey, the bridge is covered by the fog hence this mysterious side of this construction  :P . Besides, the sounds of all the boats going under the Golden Gate are different for all : you can just call this "traffic" or take it with depth and go down in your conscience because it's not a simple "city sound".


Thanks for the reading, let me know your opinion about this :D
