SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. TODAY I HAVE A BUDGET OF $80 TO SEE HOW FAR MONEY WILL GO IN THIS
PLACE. THIS CITY IS THE HUB OF THE BAY AREA AND SILICON VALLEY LOCATED IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA IT
STARTED TO SEE MASSIVE GROWTH DURING THE 1850S GOLD RUSH. AND SAN FRANCISCO HAS BECOME A HUB
FOR MASSIVE TECH COMPANIES WE ALL KNOW BUT EVER SINCE THE PANDEMIC THINGS HERE HAVE BEEN CHANGING
MY GOAL IS NOT TO SPLURGE OR TO BE FRUGAL BUT TO FIND THE BEST MOST OPTIMUM WAY TO SPEND THE DAY.
SO LET'S GET STARTED. I START WALKING ALONG THIS FAMOUS STREET CALLED MARKET STREET THEN
I SEE THIS PLACE CALLED BLUE BOTTLE COFFEE. IT SEEMS PRETTY POPULAR. THIS PLACE IS NOW GLOBAL
BUT IT WAS STARTED JUST NEXT DOOR IN OAKLAND OKAY EVEN THOUGH IT'S FAMOUS FOR ITS COFFEE
I GO FOR A MATCHA LATTE WITH SOME OATMEAL. SEVEN DOLLARS. THAT IS REALLY GOOD I'M NOT SURE IT'S
WORTH SEVEN DOLLARS BUT IT'S REALLY GOOD. NEXT I BEGIN WALKING TOWARD THE FAIRY BUILDING. THIS IS A
PLACE WITH COOL SHOPS AND CAFES I SEE THIS DONUT SHOP AND SINCE I'M ALREADY ON A MATCHA KICK I
ORDER A MATCHA DONUT FROM THIS PLACE CALLED DONUT FARM. THREE DOLLARS. THAT IS REALLY GOOD DONUT
DEFINITELY A VERY HIGH QUALITY PREMIUM DONUT TASTE. NEXT I WALK FOR 30 MINUTES AND LET ME JUST
SAY SAN FRANCISCO CAN GET VERY COOL EVEN THOUGH THIS IS CALIFORNIA ITS POSITION NEXT TO THE OCEAN
MAKES IT VERY WINDY AND BREEZY AT TIMES. THERE IS EVEN A FAMOUS QUOTE BY MARK TWAIN WHO ONCE SAID
THE COLDEST WINTER I EVER SPENT WAS A SUMMER IN SAN FRANCISCO. THE THING TO KNOW ABOUT SAN
FRANCISCO A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE THINK OH BECAUSE IT'S IN CALIFORNIA IT'S GONNA BE SUPER WARM
BUT IT'S NOT SAN FRANCISCO GETS VERY COLD YOU SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN COATS AND JACKETS
AND EVEN SCARVES SO JUST BEAR THAT IN MIND ANY TIME OF YEAR IT MIGHT GET A LITTLE COLD I KNOW
CHICAGO IS SUPPOSED TO BE CALLED THE WINDY CITY AT LEAST IT'S NOT COLD WIND BUT IT IS VERY WINDY
I ARRIVED TO FISHERMAN'S WHARF THIS IS CALLED PIER 9. HERE THERE ARE COOL PLACES EVEN THOUGH
YOU MIGHT CONSIDER THIS A TOTAL TOURIST TRAP BUT THE COOLEST PART OF THIS AREA IS ON PIER 9 WHERE
YOU CAN WATCH THE SEA LIONS THESE ARE WILD SEA LIONS WHO COME UP TO USE THE PLATFORMS TO SLEEP
AND TO GET INTO FIGHTS WITH OTHER SEALS BUT IT'S ALSO FUNNY THEY LIKE I THINK EACH OTHER'S BODY
WARM BECAUSE THERE'S PLENTY OF SPACE YOU CAN LEGIT SPEND AN HOUR WATCHING THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE SO
ENTERTAINING OH AND THE PRICE TO DO THIS IS FREE PIER 39 IS DEFINITELY QUITE TOURISTY BUT IT'S A
GOOD KIND OF TOURISTY IT HAS A LOT OF CHARM A LOT OF COOL PLACES THAT YOU CAN BUY STUFF SOUVENIRS
A LOT OF CHOCOLATE PLACES GREAT PLACES SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S VERY TOURISTY IT'S NOT A REASON NOT
TO VISIT BY NOW I'M GETTING HUNGRY SO I WALK A BIT TO THIS FAMOUS BAKERY CALLED BODIN THIS IS
CRAZY BECAUSE THIS PLACE IS CONSIDERED TO BE SAN FRANCISCO'S OLDEST CONTINUING OPERATING BUSINESS
IT WAS FOUNDED IN 1849 AT THE START OF THE GOLD RUSH THEY'RE FAMOUS FOR THEIR SOURDOUGH BREAD
I ORDER A TURKEY SANDWICH CHIPS AND A DRINK AND I SOON REALIZE THIS PLACE IS NOT CHEAP FOURTEEN
DOLLARS FOUR DOLLARS THREE DOLLARS OF COURSE DON'T FORGET TO ADD TAX TO YOUR TOTAL BECAUSE THIS IS
THE US SO TWO DOLLARS FOR TAX IF YOU WANT TO BRING A FAMILY OF FOUR HERE YOU'D BE LOOKING AT 100
FOR LUNCH THIS IS MY DAY AS A TOURIST IN SAN FRANCISCO BUT OVERALL THE CITY HAS CHANGED A
LOT I MADE A WHOLE OTHER VIDEO ABOUT THAT AS YOU CAN SEE EVEN FISHERMAN'S WHARF IS NOT WHAT IT USED
TO BE GO CHECK OUT THAT VIDEO TO SEE ANOTHER SIDE OF WHAT I'M SEEING HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO
NEXT DOOR TO THIS PLACE I FIND THIS ARCADE WITH GAMES THAT GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE
1930S I PUT 10 DOLLARS INTO THIS MACHINE WHICH GIVES ME 40 QUARTERS THAT IS A LOT OF QUARTERS
AND NOW I CAN PLAY SOME GAMES FIRST I SPEND 50 CENTS ON GETTING A FORTUNE FROM A GRANDMA
I ALSO PLAY PINBALL AND SKEE-BALL AND IT'S A TOTAL THROWBACK SOME OF THESE GAMES ARE AS CHEAP
AS 25 CENTS THIS WAS SUCH A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE I'VE NEVER REALLY EXPERIENCED ANYTHING QUITE LIKE THAT
SOME OF THE GAMES BRING YOU BACK APPARENTLY TO THE 1800S AND IT'S SUPER COOL TO SEE THAT THE
PRICES ARE STILL SO CHEAP SOMETIMES SOME GAMES ARE AS CHEAP AS 25 CENTS WHICH IS CRAZY WHEN
YOU CONTRAST THAT WITH THE LUNCH I JUST HAD BUT OVERALL THE VIBES IN HERE ARE SUPER COOL HIGHLY
RECOMMEND A VISIT A LOT OF PEOPLE PLAYING GAMES A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING FUN IT KIND OF IS I SEE WHY
THEY CALL IT A MUSEUM BECAUSE IT KIND OF TELEPORTS YOU BACK IN TIME BUT YOU ALSO GET TO HAVE FUN AND
PLAY GAMES IT'S PRETTY COOL ALL RIGHT AFTER THE GAMES I WALK THROUGH THIS PARK CALLED MARITIME
NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK THE WALK THROUGH THE PARK IS QUICK BECAUSE I SEE THIS GHIRARDELLI CHOCOLATE
SIGN THIS IS GHIRARDELLI SQUARE THIS PLACE IS A FAMOUS PUBLIC LANDMARK THAT YES OF COURSE IT
SELLS CHOCOLATE THE FIRST STORE I ENTER IS SUPER PRICEY IN FACT NOTHING ON THE MENU IS UNDER 14
THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY AND A LOT OF SUGAR SO I DECIDED TO GO TO ANOTHER SHOP JUST
NEXT DOOR WHERE THE MENU IS A BIT BETTER HERE I ORDER A SALTED CARAMEL BANANA SHAKE
NINE DOLLARS ALL RIGHT IT'S OFFICIAL THIS IS THE BEST SHAKE I'VE EVER HAD
YEAH I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SPENT THAT MUCH ON A DESSERT JUST FOR MYSELF RIDING THESE CABLE CARS
IS A SUPER FAMOUS PART OF THE EXPERIENCE OF SAN FRANCISCO SO NATURALLY I WANT TO RIDE ONE
BUT THE LINE HERE IS JUST WAY TOO LONG I'M NOT SURE 45 MINUTES WORTH OF WAITING IS WORTH IT SO
INSTEAD I JUST CONTINUE TO WALK WALKING UP THESE HILLS IS SUPER EXHAUSTING I'M STARTING TO WISH
I WOULD HAVE WAITED FOR THAT CABLE CAR BECAUSE THIS HILL IS A VERY STEEP INCLINE AND LET ME JUST
SAY SAN FRANCISCO HAS SO MANY STEEP HILLS I GUESS IT'S PART OF THE CHARM BUT IT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT
BECAUSE I END UP STUMBLING ACROSS LOMBARD STREET THIS IS A FAMOUS ZIGZAGGED STREET THAT HAS FLOWERS
ALL OVER IT AND YOU DON'T REALLY SEE PEOPLE LIVING HERE MAYBE THEY'RE JUST HIDING FROM TOURISTS LIKE
ME WHO ARE FLOODING THE STREET TO TAKE THEIR PICTURES EITHER WAY IT'S A TOTALLY UNIQUE STREET
AND AN ABSOLUTE MUST WHEN YOU COME TO THIS CITY I END UP WALKING TO UNION SQUARE ANOTHER LANDMARK
HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO IT'S A COOL PLACE WITH NICE STORES BUT CERTAINLY NOT AS UNIQUE AS THE OTHER
PLACES I'VE ALREADY SEEN HERE TODAY BY NOW IT'S GETTING LATE IN THE DAY SO IT'S TIME FOR DINNER
I HEAD TO THIS ROMAN STYLE PIZZERIA AND I ORDER THIS MARGARITA PIZZA THE PIZZA IS REALLY GOOD
AND THE VIBES OF THIS RESTAURANT ARE TOTALLY FUN THE PRICE FOR THIS DINNER IS 26 I HEAD BACK TO
MY HOTEL BECAUSE THERE'S A SURGE IN CRIME IN SAN FRANCISCO WHICH MEANS IT'S NOT REALLY THE PLACE
YOU WANT TO BE AT NIGHT UNFORTUNATELY SO I DID IT I SPENT 80 DOLLARS IN ONE DAY IN SAN FRANCISCO
YEAH THIS CITY IS NOT CHEAP AND IT'S BEEN GOING THROUGH A DIFFICULT TIME ALSO CHECK OUT HOW I
SPENT 100 IN ONE DAY IN NEW YORK 20 IN A DAY IN VIETNAM AND SO MANY OTHER PLACES DON'T FORGET
