The wonderful joys of pre packaged microwaveable holiday inn express breakfast are actually highly recommended, no matter how sarcastic that sounds. You can read up on that on the hotel blog later.
The penultimate dash for Malaysia was a flight to Hong Kong at an ungodly hour of 120 am. I decided I needed to rest more than go out personally, but my family and my sister in college had a farewell dinner until next week when she joins us at an ethiopian restaurant which i can't seem to find the name of. It started with a cafe, but unfortunately I'm not completely sure with the name.
Now, Ethiopian food without silverware (no silverware allowed sign on front door), sounds odd, but I was open to this as my sisters love going to exotic places and the places are usually not too bad. The cafe/restaurant is well outiftted to give you a tropical feel. Some tables are glass and have all the seeds they cook with on the inside of the table which is fun to sit at. I ordered chicken berberi which is a barbeque type chicken. Very spicy, but good.
However, I was dissapointed with the high prices and small portions, but seeing as Ethiopian restaurants aren't exactly as common as most, this cafe was entitled to charge high prices. Berberi Chicken came with three small pieces and costed approximately $12. Although extremely critical, I thought servers came waay too close to customers. I did not necesarily want to smell their breath while they served me water. Pretty decent experience, but I was left hungry afterwards.

A trip to San Francisco and the bay area cannot be complete without going to the Golden Gate Bridge. Parking at the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (while driving along the Marina Blvd west of the Fisherman's Wharf bear right at the fork of 101N and Mason Street, and head west on Mason Street to Crissy Field.) From here it is about a half mile hike towards the actual bridge. 
Besides the famed bridge, there are old military batteries built during the civil war for fear of an attak from he Confederacy on display. If you take the Battery Trail towards the bridge instead of the main trail, you can go under a battey tunnel which has very low clearance and is super cool to see. Walking across the Golden Gate is easy, with a dedicated path, but watch out f or the abundant numbe of bikes. This is truly 
an amazing part of San Francisco, and beautiful as the sun lunged its way through dark clouds making one last hoorah before giving into the pitch black sky. Humbling. Now it was off to the next destination: Penang, Malaysia-a stark contrast from 60 degree weather.
