 | San Francisco S.F. Diversity Reviews | 1 - 10 of 46 |  |
The Castro District is the heart of the gay and lesbian community in San Francisco. This vibrant and diverse district has an abundance of great shops and cafes. The commercial center is surrounded by beautiful well-kept Victorian homes. This is a fun place for gay and straight alike.
Hop on the F line and you will be transported directly to the center of the District. Leave a Comment

And you would want to live here."
That's what you'll say when you visit us! I visited, said it and then I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area. Come explore the greatest city in the U.S.!
San Francisco is the hub of business in the Bay Area. Across the Golden Gate bridge is my home, Marin County, a very nice place to go home to in the evenings, and hang out on the weekends. Leave a Comment

Visitors comment that San Francisco feels more European than any other city in the United States. They also say that San Francisco has a distinct Asian feel, especially because of it its large Chinatown and Japantown, and its Filipino, Vietnamese, Korean and Thai populations. All this is true.
San Francisco has always been a magnet for people from all over the world. Immigrants have brought and kept their own traditions, rather than being completely being assimilated into the more traditional American way of life. That hanging on to the ways of the Old County is why San Francisco is so deliciously diverse today. Leave a Comment

I love San Francisco because it is a melting pot of so many cultures. The entire city is heavily influenced by the several Asian populations that have settled the city over the past two centuries. Everyone, of course, has heard of our famous Chinatown.
Chinatown is right next to the Financial District. It is quite an interesting contrast to see traditional Chinese structures next to modern highrise office buildings. Leave a Comment

Now Made in the USA!
Longganisa or Philippine Blood Sausages was handed initially taught by the spaniards during the colony period but then it became popular that practically every region in the philippines makes it's own version (versions are spicy, sweet, garlicky, sour etc and made of pork or beef or carabeef or chicken or even fish).
Now these blood sausages are mad here in the USA and you can buy them at $ 7 a pack (1 puond a pack) at Manila Oriental Market in Daly City or at any Pan Asian Supermarket.

A Comparison.
Besides the Price (Philippine Made Marlboros only cost $ 0.60 a PACK in the philippines!)
the Taste (Philippine Marlboros have a slightly bland taste)
the Warning Labels (Philippine Marlboros have Governement Warning instead of Surgeon General Warning)
and obviously the length.
