The next day was clear after rainy. I didn't want to let Yumin miss this shiny day of San Diego and went out to beach again. This time, we were on Pacific Beach (aka, PB) instead of Mission Beach. Pacific Beach is known for nice bars and youths but the beach itself is nice too. We've wondered by the beach and streets around there.

I like San Diego's downtown. Here makes me feel like a city life which is rarely in San Diego. Furthermore, downtown is pretty when the lights on at the Gas Lamp Quater. So, I often enjoyed just walking downtown streets. Sometimes, luckily, couple of friends agreed to come here to drink some beer on one of famous bars. Since we have trolley from my place to downtown, I don't even worry about transportation when I want to be drunken. ^^ The Rock Bottom is one of famous microbrewary in San Diego. It means that you can find their own made beer at here. I love its special taste. It's always recommended to try Sampler if you were first time at here and you can taste all eight kinds of their own beers. My favorite one is the Earthquake. Don't worry. A cup of beer won't shake you. ^^ It's also fun to play billiard at bar. I'm not a good player when I was drunken. (Every friend told me the alcohol is not an excuse) This time, I played a little better than before. Sa...

Yumin came and visited here on this weekend. He has been within my first year in San Diego and moved to LA. One of few friends were made in the beginning of my life in the United States. I feel a little bit bad about the weather but we went out to the beach since here's San Diego. ^^ One good thing of rainy is easy to park anywhere. The beach side is usually busy every weekend but rainy day might make most of people to stay at home.

Anza-Borrego Dessert; east side of San Diego After my hanging around San Diego within whole tuesday, I couldn't stand it any more and decided to go out. Two of my friends were chased by this plan successfully and we began a short but long day trip. Our tour started from Anza-Borrego Dessert. The spanish term Anza-Borrego means goat since there have been goats living on this dessert mountains. Guess what we did on this dessert? We cooked (Shin) Ramen at there. Wierd?! No, you can't immagine how it's delicious! Salton Sea; east side of Anza-Borrego Dessert There is the biggest lake of California right next to the Dessert. The scene of this giant lake is beautiful and fascinating but you couldn't imagine this; smelly everywhere. It seems like there's nowhere outgoing water from the lake but lots of incoming to it. Don't stay at one place to much. It must become smelly, later. Salton City; one of cities by the Salton Sea There're couple of small towns along with...

I and Xin's couple went up to Big Bear mountain last saturday.
