My brother just got off the plane from India (and he'd bought me lots of souvenirs!!!)! He said that he's been offered a job at Apple for six months! If he accepts, he'll have to move to San Francisco!! And I could visit him there!!! :O Our conversation went like this:
Bro: I'd have to move to the Silicon Valley.
Me: Where's that?
Bro: In San Francisco.
Me: Where's that?
Bro: In California.
Me: ...where's that? ^^;;
Bro: ...on the west coast. -__-;;
Me: I knew that! *nervous laughter*
...okay, so I know that California's on the coast, but which coast?! I fail massively at geography. Dx Then I tried to think what I've heard of San Francisco. At first I only remembered the song (
goiiing to Saaan Fraaanciscoooo (and only those words)) but when I checked the Wikipedia entry and saw a picture of a big bridge, I also remembered that they filmed
Charmed there! No wonder the city sounded so familiar! After that I realized that it was the Golden Gate Bridge, which I guess is also somewhat famous. xD There's also the Alcatraz Island, I'll have to visit there!!! That is, if I have money. :P
eta: the plane tickets would cost around 1200 euros. Ouch.
eta2: but damnit, by the end of the summer I'll have twice as much money and this is a once (/twice/thrice) in a lifetime opportunity!!
