Hmm... anyone from around the East Bay should have little trouble figuring out where I am from my name....
If you need another hint, here's one of my favorite local websites....

What is everyone's favorite drama series so far?
I think mine would have to be Long Vacation
It was REALLY REALLY HOT TRACY. It was like the inferno from HELL. It's 9:56 pm right now and it's still hot outside minus the blazing sun.

I'm not in the bay area but close to it, Stockton! It's been 100+ the past few days here, dang heat wave, go away! It's interesting to see so many people in my neighborhood!
aNToK...I used to fish a lot in the Rio Vista area, I want to go fishing again, but there's not as many fish as there used to be.

Ahhh Stockton weather... I've lived in Stockton for most of my life since I was 1 or 2 years old.
But now I'm living in the Bay Area. It's been roughly 6-7 years. 2 years in SF, and 4-5 years in the East Bay (Walnut Creek, Martinez, Pleasant Hill)... In the next 2 weeks, I'll be moving to Concord.

Wow you can't get away from Mt. Diablo, can you?amrayu wrote: But now I'm living in the Bay Area. It's been roughly 6-7 years. 2 years in SF, and 4-5 years in the East Bay (Walnut Creek, Martinez, Pleasant Hill)... In the next 2 weeks, I'll be moving to Concord.
And why do I pay one of the highest sales tax in the area at 8.75%? Of course this all happened before I moved here, so I don't know where the money should be going to...
Yah, stuck here in Mt. Diablo area. T_T But the stay in Concord will be a short one, because I plan on moving back to SF. I just hate parking in the City.dochira wrote: Wow you can't get away from Mt. Diablo, can you?

Yup your 4% tax is luxurious for us Californians. The state sales tax is 7.25% and the rest is from the local governments.jholic wrote:8.75%?!?! are you kidding? wow, let me stop b*tching about our 4.167%. how much is gas in that area?dochira wrote:And why do I pay one of the highest sales tax in the area at 8.75%?
Gas? The last time I checked, it was $2.50 something for regular unleaded. But there was on station in SF selling gas for $2.80 regular, and $3+ for higher grades.
Wahh!! I Love it there!! But if i go there i have to bring a ton of money, well for Japan Town, their prices are kinda highOhsu wrote: JAPANTOWN/CHINATOWN =O
Do you guys know any other asian stores in the Bay Area that sells asian movies/dramas/music cds? I know there are some in Berkley but they mostly sell chinese stuff, and one in Fremont but they also sell chinese stuff. Anybody knows a good Japanese and Korean stores???

Yep. pretty huge for an Asian super out here. vid store to the left in the front? If so, that's the one. (cute counter girl, though I don't think she understood 3 words I said...)dochira wrote:Hmm, I think I've been to that store before. Is it off Grand Ave?aNToK wrote:That new supermarket in Koreatown in Oakland has a video section up front, but it's mostly movies.
Just watch out for those gallon jugs of Kimchee in the back. Stuff never smells "good", but something back there just smells foul....

Holy moly, I should've realized that the sign I saw for Koreantown wasn't in the City, but in Oakland! Next time, next time....
I'm envious of the states that have no sales tax whatsoever. *sigh* Sales tax in Sac is 7.75%... the only good thing about it is that when you want to figure out how much tip to leave, just double the tax. And gas prices from the bay is one thing I definitely don't miss. Gas is a few cents cheaper here in Sac, and even if you get gas @ Costco, it's still more than $2.40 a gallon. It makes driving to the City verrry expensive.
Oh, and for parking in the city, I park in 4 parking garages that are pretty cheap, 2 which were mentioned already... Japantown garage, the garage underneath that pagoda in Chinatown, and if you want to shop around Market St. and that area, I park in the Ellis/O'Farrell garage (accessible from Geary) or the parking garage across from the Metreon.. what was it, Buena Vista center or something like that? I forgot. It's relatively the same price for all four garages. I've never paid more than about $5 for parking before.

Hi:
Hayward here--Did y'all know that Densha Otoko just started tonight on KTSF? I didn't know they had the money for first run stuff--or that their Sunday lineup wasn't just game/talk shows. Guess I should watch TV more. My Midwestern Brother is buggin' me to move back by him, and can't figure out why I stay here. He has no clue how spoiled you can get by the weather, scenery, and all the stuff people throw into the "lifestyle" box.

I just came back from trip to Cali, I loved the weather in SF, not LA though (since its too hot and traffic's really a nightmare even on 5-lane highways ). But in Berkeley, weather's also hot, I think only in SF penisula the weather's nice all the time, is that true? I didn't goto other areas outside SF and Berkeley so I dunno. Yeah, Japantown prices are higher, like the DVD store. I got lots of stuff at Chinatown though. I didn't know about the Koreatown but went to some korean restuarants near Berkeley and the food's really good there. Actually, all the restuarants I went in SF and LA were great, except the touristy ones which rip you off. But we had some friends there who showed us which were the good ones.
Relax, it's NOT an ill omen, it's just Camelot symdrome. It does rain once a summer, it's just very late this year. Usually comes with the fire works. Being a little spoiled cause rain here is generally house trained and polite (i.e. quiet) doesn't mean you've been here too long, just means you're acclimated!! I'm originally from back East, so I miss thunder and lightening occasionally, but living without hurricanes, ice storms, tornados and blizzards is not a sign of a mental defect!

Haha.. Bay Area weather just means random. I live on the penninusla. It was freezing cold this morning, and then it got warmer towards noon. At my school, our lunch ends at 1:00 and so when I was walking to my afternoon class, it was sunny and warm. Then after that class, at 2:00, it was cloudy and windy and cold. Haha... and a side note: KCBS is hardly ever right about their weather forecasts during the winter. -_- They're always predicting rain, but it never rains!!! Argh...
Oh wait. Haha.. everyone was talking about weather and I forgot what this thread was for. XP
Erm.. yeah! I'm a huge jdrama fan. .
