Today, I finally got some fresh air by travelling around the Chinatown at SF to buy some souvenirs for my friends (You can guess! More keychains for the masses. I always buy keychains or pens for souvenirs). During my short ‘travel’, there are some interesting things to see there.

Parties!
To start the beautiful afternoon of our little trip, my family and I ate in a random-Japanese-named-but-it-has-Chinese-and-fast-food-too-buffet restaurant first for lunch. When we were eating, we realized that there are so many people are coming there today. There are little kids with gifts, and some women with party dresses, and men with tuxedo… what the hell is going on?
Suddenly… "Happy birthday to you… happy birthday to you…"
That song began to play.
Oh. a birthday party, I thought. A random kid’s birthday party. I clapped along when they all goes "Yaaay!" and walked nearby when they’re taking photos - for personal fun, hehe. They didn’t really realize me though, they’re too busy playing balloons and stuffs.
Then, I heard some romantic song playing from the other side of the restaurant. I went there… and now what?
A wedding party.
A woman in wedding dress and a man in formal tuxedo came from the entrance, and the crowd (not the kids and normal visitors included of course) cheered and showered them with hugs and kisses.
The music from both sides kept on playing, and they clashes with each other and sound weird. It was so crowded and noisy.
I think it’s kinda odd to celebrate a wedding in a… random-Japanese-named-but-it-has-Chinese-and-fast-food-too-buffet restaurant (RJNBIHCAFFTB Restaurant). Don’t you think? And, why are there two parties at the same time? Is this RJNBIHCAFFTB Restaurant that popular?

We were walking from shops to shops in the Chinatown, in search for cheap but quite decent souvenirs. We were about to cross the street quickly (since there are some cars coming from the both sides).
Then suddenly, a man in tuxedo and a woman in Chinese traditional dress (qi pao is the name, I think? not sure) ran across to the middle of the street. They spoke chinese eagerly and called some people, I don’t understand what they said. The people came, and… took photos of them. Yes, they’re taking pictures for their wedding in the middle of the busy street… in an American Chinatown. The cars all stopped behind and in front of them. Aye, you’re disturbing teh traffic!
Watch where you pee, dammit!
Finally, we finished shopping and looking around the Chinatown. The easiest way to get to our parking place underground is by going through the emergency exit. We were just talking merrily and innocently, and guess what we saw down the stairs to the emergency exit…
A guy was facing the wall… peeing! He’s peeing, dammit!!! And he’s not at the corner, he’s in the middle! His pee is everywhere on the floor!
Oh crab. Such… a horror. Thank goodness he realized there’s us, and quickly finished his pee. He ran up and apologized, "Sorry, dude! I didn’t find any toilets around here! Hehe…"
"Just when we’re about to go that way. Just great," said my brother to him.
That guy just laughed nervously, apologized again and ran away. My brother quickly said, "We’ve got to find another way to get there." And so we went quite far to get to the parking place.
Why this happened? Because of a guy who didn’t pee on the right place. Get a random tree to pee on like a dog or something.
