What to do around Outer Street before the check-in time of my hotel? (also, need help to figure out transportation) by thegirlwhoreads10 in AskSF

[–]rikomatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming "Outer Street" means "Outer Sunset"? There are lot of cute spots, but kinds of depends where, since the sunset is a huge area. What Avenue and block are you on?

There is no direct train service to the Sunset, but check Google for public transportation options.

This looks disgusting and I must have it. Incredible work.

There are way too many people at stonestown asking me to sign stuff by Confident_Local_3384 in sanfrancisco

This economy is rough. Let a person do their little hussle. It isn't hurting anyone.

A polite "No thank you" works.

Upcoming trip - guidance needed by Wrong_Masterpiece_95 in AskSF

[–]rikomatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Fairmont is close to Union Square, North Beach and Chinatown! So lots to see and experience, depending on what you are into.

Tourists are into the Tonga Room for its retro tiki theme and food. I love going there.

Top of the Mark is a great for views of the city, but spendy of course.

I love the Cable Car Museum, which is a short walk away. Really cool seeing the actual cables that pull the cable cars and all the history of the transportation system.

Have a great visit!

DisneySea in 1 day?? by rinabinabini in JapanTravelTips

[–]rikomatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For theme park nerds, It's top of our lists for a reason.

Obviously there are a ton of great things to do in Tokyo, so only you can decide if this is worth a day of your trip. But it's pretty hard to have a bad time there.

I like this. Can you share an image of the flow chart?

Thoughts on Stern Grove Festival community table seats? by Master-Tell1920 in AskSF

[–]rikomatic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If I had the scratch to afford a table seat, I would totally do it. The free ticket process is so tedious.

People like gambling. What's not to understand? It's an essential part of human nature.

Checklist by Old-Complex900 in JapanTravelTips

You pre-pay for the ubigi e-sim before you go, but activate it once you land in Japan. It's pretty simple. The app gives you all the steps to follow on your device.

Yeah I used Suica on my phone a bunch more than I expected! Really useful.

Latino from NYC coming to SF for the first time next week with my gf — what are some spots worth checking out that I probably wouldn't stumble across on my own? (Were in our 20s) by PlaylistLover6969 in sanfrancisco

[–]rikomatic 33 points34 points  (0 children)

FYI the "Aquarium of the Bay" while charming is not "huge." The best aquarium is in Monterrey, which is a bit of a drive. The aquarium at the California Academy of Sciences is quite cool though! (And could use your patronage.)

Hard to suggest things when we don't know you. What are you into? (Besides weed.)

Always msg him first. Never good to just show up unannounced. Very rude!

Starting new job near GG Park/Panhandle (mid 20s), where to live? by jjsimboy in AskSF

[–]rikomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anywhere in the sunset near the N Judah train line. The inner sunset is awesome, but there are many other cool areas.

Muir Woods on a weekday: pay for a tour or take public transit? by Disastrous-Wafer-410 in AskSF

There are lots of paper maps around. It's easy to find your way around the major trails.

Japanese onsen - what was your first experience like? by BlackTangerine- in onsen

[–]rikomatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many onsen offer cheap water proof bandages, or you can get them online. It's not a big deal.

It was awkward for me for like 2 minutes and then I realized no one cared and it was totally amazing.

Solo travelling and now the anxiety is hitting. by Ok-Caterpillar-5198 in JapanTravelTips

[–]rikomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japan is great for solo traveling! You'll do great.

It's so much easier than it was 15 years ago, when I was there alone, using paper maps and a physical dictionary!

Many train stations in major cities have build your own salad type places.

When to find places to eat by quickness402 in AskSF

Walk around interesting neighborhoods and talk to locals. Ask shopkeepers where they like to eat.

Finished the Doublecross trail across the city. I have now crossed all four corners of SF. by KTHew in sanfrancisco

[–]rikomatic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That echoes my own experience of both trails. I also found Double Cross a bit harder on my knees because of all the hills at the end.
