December 25th: MERRY CHRISTMAS!! We (the entire family except grandma) went to iHop for breakfast, and Pik (family friend) tagged along for the trip as well. Then we were off to San Francisco. We checked out the Golden Gate Bridge at a nearby beach and headed to Chinatown. Meetup took a little bit of time since parking was a whole mess; my uncle Udam parked on the street just outside a paid parking lot, whereas my dad and my oldest uncle Bora in their own cars (with the rest of our family) had to go in to pay. Seth had left some time before we parked, having been dropped off at his request. As we walked and absorbed all the scenes, we grabbed some coffee and matcha, a very late lunch, and then headed home near sunset.
