I’ve always said my favorite cities in the world after Paris are New York and San Francisco. San Francisco is an amazing city, very cool, very cold and very alive. My preferred areas have been Mission and North Beach where isn’t any beach ! When I say it is a city you feel it is alive, for proof you should look at walls painted (most of them in Mission Street), the last one is on memory of Mohammad Bouazizi who started Tunisian revolution last year. San Francisco is the Tower of Babel of our century; I’ve never seen such level of ethnic diversity in a city!
