So last weekend, Don Lee, one of my friends from high school (and junior high), came up to visit Berkeley. He’d always wanted to see it, but never got the chance to until then.
Throughout the weekend, I showed him around parts of campus, the surrounding area, and downtown Berkeley (actually in the opposite order, since I showed him Shattuck after he got off BART, then went around to eat, and then the campus on Sunday). We ate at a lot of good restaurants, including Gypsy’s (Don: “like an orgasm in your mouth” XD). He and I ate the sicilia (steak) calzone. So delicious, so delicious.
You'd have a big smile on your face too, once you tried Gypsy's.
Afterwards, we went and got some Yogurtland =d.
YOGURTLAND!
Ah screw it, I might as well post pictures of the food we ate during the weekend. You can see where I’m going with this.
King Pin Donuts at 2 AM. Freshly baked.
My signature quesadillas. For dinnuh.
I also showed Don the Big C at night. When we went up there, we met four cool people, named Kim, Curtis, Irving, and Patrick. They were up playing guitar and singing and invited us over, so we joined them (not at singing though). We chilled together, literally (it was freezing with the fogs rolling in – we were practically immersed in it) and figuratively (it was really fun talking to them and enduring the cold together). Ahh… good stuff.
Caught this before the fog encapsulated Berkeley.
On Sunday, I showed him the campus.
A gigantic ball.
The grandeur of Doe Library, mi biblioteca favorita!
For dinner, Nicholas (my roommate), Girish (my friend), Don, and I went out to eat at Zachary’s, a pizza parlor well-known for its Chicago-style deep dish pizzas. And boy, were they deep dish pizzas.
This baby took 30 minutes to make.
The following day, it came time for Don to head back to SoCal. Before he left, he got a Cal sweatshirt (oh, he’d been wanting one for the longest time!), and we ate lunch at Sun Hong Kong (they’re having an anniversary celebration, and we got an awesome meal for cheap). I showed him to the BART station, and it was time to head back for class.
Well, I hope you enjoyed reading this as well as the pictures!
And Don, next time, I’ll show you around SF (though I’m not too familiar with it, so it’ll be an adventure for me as well). =).
오빠 열심히해.
