Visiting San Francisco Bay Area Costco – March 2015

March 2015

It was an exciting weekend. I visited Costco in San Francisco Bay Area. Flying from Burbank to Oakland was just about an hour. I rarely leave my comfort zone. It was exciting and fun.

Friday: I arrived in San Francisco Bay Area late evening. The first thing I noticed was that people seemed classier in San Francisco Bay Area. We went to a fast-food restaurant for a late-night bite. Young people working there were classier than what I was used to. A bunch of high-school kids walked in for Friday night fun. It was a group of kids of mixed races. They were all well behaved, quiet, and classy. Throughout the weekend, I saw nothing but classy people. People were different there. It was strange, and I liked it.

Saturday: We took BART, a public transportation subway system, to downtown San Francisco for lunch. It was not busy because today was Saturday. But now I know how people in the Bay area commute to the big city every day.

I had good, authentic Chinese food for lunch. Then I learned they didn’t take credit cards. Pretty much all restaurants in China Town had “Cash Only” signs.

Sunday: We went to Costco in Danville (San Francisco Bay Area). The entire warehouse looked familiar, except they had an insane amount of coffees. They had about twice as many coffee varieties compared to Costco in my area.

It was cool to see San Francisco Giants’ “World Series Champion” hoodies. I felt the patriotism.

It was a glorious weekend I will never forget.
