School Started!!


Hello!

This is Motoki Tamane, who is an officer of JSA and made JSA SFSU website!

How was your summer? Was it good or bad? Traveling, staying in home, hanging out and sleeping all day etc… you could do whatever you want (I was taking summer class and spent whole summer…). However, the sweet time ends and now it’s time to do student’s duty.

The instructions of class began today, and I guess everyone will become very busy.
I have 7 classes including 3 labs; they are going to be tough for me…

By the way, there was a huge earthquake in Virginia (I heard the President Obama has evacuated from White House). Hopefully, San Francisco is not damaged because it’s far from the center. Japan has experienced a lot of earthquakes, and has suffered from the damages. Most buildings collapse and electricity stops. Moreover, Tsunami (tidal wave) comes after those disasters if the earthquake is intensive. All Japanese (me, also) know how scary it is, so I hope everyone is OK.

Have a good one!
Motoki

The first thing i had done in SF.

Hey, guys. This is Taichi Kanemoto and i'm the officer of JSA.
From now on, i try to continue writing a fun post for those who thinking of coming to SF.
Okay, Here we gooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

I lost my way. LOL this was the first thing ive met in SF.

when u have a chance to come to SFSU, the first thing you are going to do is to arrive at SFSU correctly. However, the way of coming to school is not easy but sort of complicated.

So, Let me explain how to get SFSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you are going to get off at airport after landing in sf. First thing u should do is to find the BIRT which looks train but super slow and ghetto but dont worry and u are not gonna die. Take Birt train toward Daly City and get off at Daly City. Then, you are gonna have to find a 28 Bus. you are going to pay 2 dollars and jump in it and it would take you to San Francisco State university.

now you know where you are going and what you should do.

Last thing i need to tell u is,,,, dont forget to say "Thank you" when u get out of bus, otherwise, you feel bad.

The places I love in the city :)

Hi all!!

Hope you guys are enjoying this summer and making loads of fun memories with your family and friends! Talking about me, my summer has already ended nearly a month ago as I celebrated my 23rd birthday and started my summer semester at school. Summer classes are always tough.. But still, I'm glad I can live in such a beautiful city as a student :) By the way, this is Aileen, I'm one of the new members in JSA since this summer. Hope I can learn and have fun with other members there, and also those who are thinking of joining the team will also do so too!


By the way, I'm writing today's blog to introduce some of the beautiful and delicious restaurants/cafes in the city for those who are thinking of moving to San Francisco, or new to the city and want to get to know more about this area.




By the way, is anyone of you familiar with this huge round sourdough bread?


(Sorry, I have a trouble uploading photos now. It's coming soon!)








It's the best sourdough bread you can get in San Francisco, and not only that, it is ranked as the No.1 sourdough bread in the nation!!
If you go to the store around 5:10 PM, you will be able to get a fresh one which just came out from the oven at 5PM. The store closes at 7 PM so you only have two hours to get it, but it is worth going there during that time just to get this bread. ;)


If you like to see the Ocean view and mysterious yet beautiful places, Sutro Baths is the place you might want to visit. It's one of the most beautiful places in the city I've ever known located on the north end of Ocean Beach.

If you go there after walked around the city, you might think you've lost your way to another time... It's actually only 100 years old, but it looks way older than that!


It used to be a privately owned swimming pool complex nearly 100 years ago which was burned down and abandoned soon afterwards in 1966.


When there on sunny days, you can see Golden Gate Bridge,

and enjoy this magnificent view of Ocean Beach.

There are so many other places you can visit and enjoy your day in the city. Why don't you take a casual walk on sunny beautiful days and find out the coolest place just for you! :)
