Honeymoon Day 12 - Union Square, Chinatown

Again, first thing we had to do in the morning was to switch hotels, to Renoir Hotel just further down the road as it was pre-booked. Lugging our luggages down the street was no joke as it was at the till end of our trip and the bags were getting heavy from shopping.

This hotel knew we were honeymooners and had this for us in the room. How sweet:)

This day we shopped along another stretch of shopping area around Union Square. Many US Brands stood out. Their stores are huge, like 3 storeys each and the space within is huge. Very nicely done branding on the outside of the building as well.





We took a long walk and eventually walked all the way to the Chinatown in San Francisco. This is one of the most popular Chinatowns in the Western cities...particularly becos a lot of HongKongers had migrated here in the past. Thus, this is an area very rich in the chinese culture and cuisine. In fact, within this area, you actually can forget that you are in San Francisco...becos there are so many chinese and many of them speak in cantonese.

Still....its a rare site to see very authentic english road names with ancient chinese roof decos behind....

Along the shopping stretch in Chinatown:Chanced upon this church with a streetname : California within Chinatown....

Citibank in Chinatown:And finally, its back to union square area.....our last stop for the day: Abercrombie & Fitch before heading back to the hotel...a brand we both love, but things are just too pricey... causal look but costs a lot! We love the smell of the perfume concentrate whenever we walked into the store ...haha....managed to grab some sale steals :)
