    If you're from a small conservative town like I am, the extreme liberal anything-goes type of atmosphere in San Francisco will throw you for a loop. During the 1960s, Haight-Ashbury became something of a capital of American counterculture. Even up to 1985, when I visited, old hippies still flock to it. San Francisco is known for being most tolerant of homosexuals, sometimes to the point of advocating preferential treatment and official minority status. I recently heard that San Francisco is thinking about growing its own marijuana, ostensibly for "medicinal" use.

    Check out the drag queens down by Fisherman's Wharf!! Definite culture shock for a midwestern girlie.

    Beware the black-clad mobile phone toting set with giant dogs. I caught some here making an expedition to the summit of Alamo Square. Having successfully completed their mission, they phone down to base camp to make salon appointments or dinner reservations at trendy bistrots.

  • One of the best things about San Francisco is the diversity of people, but if you stare or make rude comments you will ruin the experience. Thus, it is best to be discrete when noticing how some people decorate their bodies with tattoos or nose rings.

  • San Francisco is a diverse city which supports many cultures and lifestyles Everyone lives together in peace and visitors would do well to keep their thoughts and opinions to themselves.

    One thing that was of both culture and learning was the Mission Dolores. Supposedly, it is the oldest building in the city and hold a museum and cemtery in the back. If you stop by, you can catch a glimpse of the history behind the city.

  • The cultural diversity is incredible. Go with an open mind and just soak it all up. Coming from the East Coast, it took a while to slow down and relax to the pace of the locals. Once I did, I didn't want to go back to the same hectic pace again. Enjoy it while you can!

  • You'll find that homosexual relationships aren't something that people hide in San Francisco and light drug use is only slightly less open. None of this does any harm to the tourist; however, it is interesting to observe.
