Santa came early this year! He brought me $800 and a trip to San Fran. Yeah!

anywho, im planning on spending a week there and Im wondering if there are any good clothing stores in Japantown, Chinatown, and Koreatown. I've just recently become obsessed with the crazy wooden sandals, kimonos, masks, and good luck charms. So im woncering if any native could suggest stores there that carry some.
Another question. Do they also have a Buddhist temple there? id love to get my fortune told.

Hmm that's so neat. I wouldn't know of any, but if I were you, I'd just...walk around San Francisco for a day and just see what stores they have. That'd be fun.

There is no Koreatown, only Japan and China town.
You should go to Monterey Bay too, it's about two hours away, the white sand beaches are really beautiful. _smile.gif

Go to Downtown and shop,shop, shop till u drop

I've been to San Fransico b4 on my vacation. Anywho, yeah, just go around China Town, or where the Japanese Town, or whatever. They usually have good ass clothes. Shop from those Hispanic people, they have good dresses too. I saw some, and i was like, my mom should wear this. lol, but yeah, just go around until you find something you like, i got boy clothes, yeah, they're cheap and something you'll use very often.

I know there is a big temple in Los Angeles... I'm not quite sure about San Francisco, since I've never been there. But DON'T think that just because you're in Chinatown, that you'll find the biggest one. But there probably is one in Chinatown anyway. I heard of a big one there. I'm hoping to go the summer when I graduate ('06).

Wait, JAPANTOWN and KOREATOWN?! WHAT THE .... ?!

I thought it was called Little Tokyo and Little Korea.

Or maybe that's just for L.A. But I thought that's what it's called in San Francisco too...

Japantown!! weeeee!! They have awesome ice cream and crepes! And a kewl Japanese book store! (W/ novelty tshirts!! Got Rice?! Got Sushi?!)

Eat at Blondie's Pizza!!!

I want to go to Chinatown's central playground again. But I don't speak Cantonese, so I wouldn't survive in that place.

iono, visit Union Square? Cheesecake Factory?
