Dragons and firecrackers for the year of the ox

February 27th, 2009

Dragon

Have been meaning to upload this picture. On the day of Chinese new year we went to Footscray. The streets were quiet with most businesses closed for the day, but a team disseminating firecrackers was loose in the streets. They went from shop to shop frighting the crap out of small children. The dragons and explosions were very impressive. E put her fingers in her ears. We ate at Hien Vuong, the smoke was so thick we could hardly breath. Was much fun.

Tu Lan is one of the more well known Vietnamese restaurants in San Francisco.

It could be said that Sixth Street forms a coarse border between San Francisco’s glitzy downtown and its gritty South of Market and Tenderloin neighborhoods. Via an interactive, streetscape interface, “A Walk Down Sixth Street” uses audio, video, VR panoramas and more to tell the stories of the real people who live, work and thrive on Sixth Street.
