DAY 1 (7/02):
After a long 24hrs + tiring journey with 4 hr halt at London, Heathrow Airport we reached San Francisco. We all were ready to rock for another few days. It was raining when we reached. We had a bus to pick us from the airport to hotel. Seeing so many luxury cars, many of our students started clicking pictures. The atmosphere was cool & a bit of rain. On the way to the hotel we had a conversation with the driver, who told California is about to face a drought if it doesn't rain more. He told us about the traffic conditions on Friday. It usually takes 45 min from airport to hotel, but on that day it took around 1.5 hrs to reach. He also talked about India, & desired to visit India very soon. So we reached our hotel 'Embassy Suites' at around 4:30pm. The first reaction seeing the interior of the hotel was "WOW" & "OMG" !! They welcomed us & we got cookies as a welcome snack. We were sttuned at that elegant looking hotel. Then we were separated in groups & Archie sir gave us our rooms keys & we all headed to our rooms. My room 212 had Kaushal (Dance Master), Harsh(Hero), Dhruv (Gujju Honey Singh) & myself. We kept out bags, freshened up & were just roaming inside the hotel. They had a gym + swimming pool + heated pool !! They also had a small pond like structure where we saw colorful fishes, small & big in size. All kids thier loved to spend time at the pond. In the evening we had a walk around the hotel. We saw many local stores & eateries. We picked Sub-Way as our dinner spot. Being a Vegetarian it was difficult for me to find something to eat, but I found a veggie delight & I was happy that it tasted awesome. We saw Wendys, Burger King, Wallgreen's etc in the vicinity of our hotel. The hotel also had a Captains Cocktail Reception from 7-9 where we get free drinks & snacks. But unfortunately I was below 21, I can get only snacks & coke. We all were tired so we went to sleep early.
Day 2 (8/02): So we were being informed by Archie sir to be down by 7:30 for breakfast. We all were exited for our 2nd day in SFO. Now talking about Embassy grill/kitchen section. They had a live kitchen where you can order your breakfast & the chef would prepare it for you in few minutes. Then there was another section where they had all kinds of breads, fruits, cereals, juices, cupcakes, coffee etc. So we all had a refreshing breakfast & were ready to go. First we went to AT&T store, as we all needed sim cards. The store people were exited to see such a big group co
ming together. The lady their explained about the plans, we all selected a particular plan. We were given sim-cards according to the size required by our phone. I took a walk around the store & found many interesting gadgets. I had my hands-on the LG G Flex the first curved phone ever. The Moto X , pebble watches etc. Then we paid a susurprise visit to Daphne Mam's house. It was raining so we had to run from the store till Daphne Mam's house. It was a 5 min walk although. We surprised her & her dog (Leo) surprised me & Akhilesh ( talkative boy). We both were scared of Leo as he was soo huge & he used to jump on anyone. We took a corner seat & kept calm. We chatted with Daphne Ma'm about the journey from Mumbai to SFO etc. Then we decided to go to Powell Street. The mode of transport was BART(Bay Area Rapid Transit). Sir gave us a pass of 65$, which we need to swipe during every visit. Powell Street was known for the High-end stores like Forever 21, GAP, Apple, Old Navy, Ferrari, Disney etc. When we reached Powell, we saw huge historic like building structures. It was raining a little on that day also. It was almost lunch time & we searched many restaurants, but a Indo-Pakistani restaurant caught our eye. We had a buffet lunch for $10. It was nice having Indian food in SFO. The menu included Naan (big), cholle, dal makhni, raita, gajjar ka halwa, biryani etc. We attacked the food & few of us over - ate. So now we were ready for shopping !! First store visited was Apple. & we almost looted the apple store ( pun intended). Many of us bought iPhone's, iPad's, Mac book etc. We spent around 2 hours buying gadgets from their. Then we separated into groups & went to explore downtown. I visited the Ferrari store. They had a large no of Ferrari accessories & even a actual Ferrari F1 car at the store. On the lower ground floor of the store, they had a Ferrari like car with a big screen in front, where people can test thier driving skills & the controlls were of an actual Ferrari car. The person with best lap timing gets a Ferrari watch for free. We also went to Old Navy, where I got a cool blue jacket for myself. We went to many stores, I don't remember their names though. All Girls were spotted at Forever 21 most of the time, as they had some sale going on. We roamed the whole downtown till 5:30. Then we went back to hotel by BART. Few people went out for dinner, few were in swimming pool. I choosed to watch some tv & slept.
Day 3 (9/02) : Today was the city tour, we went to major tourist attractions in SFO. Our first halt was at the Treasure Island & Naval Station. It was raining so we didn't get to see more. But we clicked few pictures with the sea in background. Their was a huge statue of dancing lady, which looked beautiful at night as it had those led lights & glow in dark. Then our next stop was Pier 39. But we halted at pier 2 also & saw a statue of Mahatma Gandhi. The statue was established in 1984 by some leader. We just took a walk & headed towards pier 39. It is famous for its ferry rides & the seals. Hundreds of seals can be spotted at a time. Their were restaurants selling fresh crabs & lobsters. We had many photo opportunities there. The sound of the seals seemed like they are talking to each other. We also spotted many sea-gulls. At the entry of pier 39, one can see the whole SFO city. The huge buildings, tour buses, bikes etc made our visit memorable. Then we had a halt for lunch. & the lunch was brought by our respected Daphne Ma'm. We had cottage cheese rolls, pumkin paratha with various dips & Indian pickle. She also bought various mouth smacking chips etc. Then the next halt was at Palace Of Fine arts. It appeared like a historical monument. It was raining so we couldn't explore the place properly. Then the last stop was the Golden Gate Bridge, the most famous attraction in SFO. But due to bad weather & fog, we couldn't see the whole of the bridge. But we took many pictures with different poses. And it was very cold+ raining. Few of our students took a seat in the bus only. We walk a small distance on the bridge, the speed with which the cars moved was thrilling. As it was on a great height, we could see whole of the ocean & people surfing in that cold water. Then we left the place & the bus dropped us to Powell Street. Many of them wanted to do more shopping & buy apple products. So everyone got separated in a group of 4-5. I tried few street food their. Went to Disney Store, Levis, Old Navy etc. Then we returned back to the hotel by BART. Had some snacks & slept.

Then we took a bus which took us to SMC. The scenery on the way to college was beautiful. It took 9 minutes to reach the college. The college was very huge & stunning. We got down from the bus & were just looking at the college campus & were exited to explore the whole campus. Then we were welcomed by 'Janet' she was the co-ordinator for our Program. She took us for a college tour. & everyone was jaw dropped seeing the elegant scenery & the atmosphere was very cool, thank god the rain stopped! The college was located on a huge 400 acres of land. Then we were taken to Orinda room, where the program started. We were given welcome breakfast, which was delicious. Then at 10:00 am we had Student orientation program by Seung-Jun Yoon (Tim).

Goodwill is basically a non profit organization where they take the old stuff may it be clothes, furniture, electronic appliances etc & recycle them, then sell them at their stores. They also sell recycled books. We were taken for a tour of the company where we saw the recycling process of clothes, how they are washed & separated. We saw many electric appliances & a junk yard. I loved their concept that they hire poor people as well as prisoners who came back & wanted to start a new life. They also supported them financially. Then at 6 we left the company & left for the hotel. On the way back, the sky was orange - red in colour. It was feeling very good as every one was silent & enjiying the beauty of nature.

We got down at Lombard Street. It is the world's crookedest street. The atmosphere was cool & we all walked down the street.
