City diversity

San Francisco is a very diverse city with a lot of embedded cultures. There are hundreds of different restaurants all from different cultures. We tried a lot of them and most of the restaurants are the same in one aspect; Very good food but terrible service. That’s what I experienced at least. The city itself is also grouped in different areas like the Castro, Chinatown, japan town and more. When you enter those districts everything changes.

For example in Chinatown all the shops are labeled in Chinese and 99% of the people living there are real Chinese people and some of them can’t even talk English. The stores also offer a lot of goods which you cannot find in other stores around the city, typical Chinese goods. Chinatown is also the most characteristic districtin in San Francisco since for example the Italian district looks the same as the rest besides the Italy flag on all the street lanterns.

Also there is a huge contrast between the area where people live and where they work. Downtown looks just like every other big city in the US, alot of skyscrapers and a ton of people, on the other hand the area where people live is very unique. There is no such thing as every house needs to fit in the neighbour hood like in switzerland. Every house is unique, it has it's own form and color and there are no modern buildings. All of the houses are very cute and made with love, not like those new "modern" buildings that basically are just a cube of cement with no color. (DA)
