Japan Town in San Francisco

thursday night i went back into SF. i got a ride from Sylvia's friend Alana who lives in San Jose, and before we went to pick up syl from work, we stopped by in Noe Valley where sylvia used to live. there's this cute little bakery there, with awesome tasting cupcakes. haha, alana is addicted to them. but i had a carrot cake one(that i brought back home) and a "Hoho" cupcake. but after we picked up Sylvia, and went to walk around downtown and shop a bit. we went to a couple department stores, like Nordstrom where i bought my Uggs! (by the way, Uggs are a brand of winter boots and such. i'll take a picture and post it later). then we went to a Forever 21 store, that was 4 stories high! it was huge...i bought a couple things from there. and also in Urban Outfitters. after we met up with Sylvia's other friend Monica, and we went to eat dinner in Japan Town. We went to this place called Takara. i had the shrimp tempura dinner, and we all shared a mountain vegetable soup. soooooo delicious! (as you can see up there). oh, and we also had sushi, like the Spicy Ahi Tuna rolls. the japanese food was actually pretty authentic. so i was glad about that :-). after we just went to Sylvia's house, and hung out there.
