I've been to California a few times, but Southern California was too brown and hot. I missed the greenery that you see here. San Francisco was a fascinating place to visit, but there was a lot of fog when I went there, so I didn't see a lot of the scenery. I was also disappointed in the Chinese restaurants I visited. I think that Vancouver has much nicer restaurants. I still think that of all places I've been, this is still the nicest. The one sunny day I did see in San Francisco, the view was fantastic, and I wished I could stay longer. The prices were sky-high, though.
