I started on California Street and walked along Grant Avenue.
Note: This photo was taken at the intersection on Clay, but this one has a better backdrop than the one I took on California, so I'm posting this one instead.
If you look carefully, you can see a man playing an 二胡 (erhu, aka Chinese violin) on the right. According to Stephanie, he's always there.
What.
A senior citizen chats with the man at the newsstand (who didn't seem to be interested in the conversation, if you ask me).
Unaffected by the darkness, a group of men watch on as two compete in a game of chess in Portsmouth Square.
As I walk along Grant, I notice that most of the shops—bazaars filled with a variety of Chinese gifts and stores selling items splattered with San Francisco motifs—cater mainly to tourists.
Waverly Place, an alley nicknamed “Street of the Painted Balconies,” hosts a number of temples. I would've tried to get a picture of one, but wandering around in a dark alley alone didn't seem like a good idea.
Up the hill, on Stockton, the streets are still busy with locals buying groceries for dinner.
I wonder if they have this many boxes to dispose of every night...or maybe I was just lucky.
