Best Vacation Idea

Typical characteristics of a very prominent San Francisco is about the weather, the soil surface up and down the steep cable car with her and of course a very famous Bridge of the Golden Gate.

Landed at San Francisco International Airport at 19:30 hours local time, weather is still very bright. Earlier that week in May, in San Francisco’s blue skies clean without a speck of cloud was that entrenched there. But do not ask where the air temperature.

Bright weather that was almost visible as a hot, in fact, to newcomers who come from tropical areas, it will feel cold which could even make body shivered. At that time, after undergoing ground formalities such as immigration and security checks are super tight, not felt the clock showed 21:00 am, the air outside was pitch-dark, highly contrasting with the condition when the plane landed shortly.

Cold stung, especially when wind blows. The wind that supposedly originated from the famous Pacific Ocean’s cold. Special about the cold air in San Francisco, who said they always, hit on throughout the year, marked also with the famous words of Mark Twain, a famous American novelist who lived in the years 1835 to 1910. He says: The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.

Besides the cold, the city of San Francisco located in a very bumpy ground, up and down with a very steep condition. Some roads even intangible form that climb at an angle of nearly 60 degrees!

But the road conditions so it does not preclude the conduct of local government in the form of public transport tram, known as the cable car, an old tram which operated manually by cable car system. This cable car was first operated by “Clay Street Hill Rail Road”, with the launch of its first year at August, 2, 1873. The train is maintained until now in the year 2010, and has become the icon of San Francisco.

The unique thing then is how the local government of San Francisco issued strict rules on how to park the vehicles in this car along the road in San Francisco that allowed for parking. It will be weird for us since car parking is all visible in a position of front wheels turn. Turn left or right, depending on where the car is in park. Parking on street or road climbs derivative. Direction is straight toward the sidewalk. Because San Francisco adopted a Right Hand Traffic, car in the right lane and thus the position of the steering wheel of his car was left.

Position the front tire so it aims for safety, if there is no interference automobile brake system, the car will not slide to the center of the street, but onto the sidewalk and of course will stop. Parking Safety System is, imposed since time immemorial.

Ancient times, it can be ascertained, the occurrence of car brakes are not functioning, the emergency brake does not work, and transmission gear position which can be separated is a part of the weakness in the technology age. By itself, the rules are so clearly aimed at and for the sake of security.

Today, when technological progress is so advanced, it seems these regulations is not valid anymore. Almost all cars in America are the cars with automatic transmission. With this system, so that the transmission lever is placed in position “P”, then the system automatically wheels are already in the locked position is very secure.

Besides, in a modern car system, which also comprised within the system “power steering”, a tool that helps the driver to drive the lighter the vehicle, it is required if the vehicle in the parking lot, both front tires must be in a straight position. This position is intended to make air pressure and / or oil in power steering system to be neutral.

If not straight, the air pressure and oil becomes neutral in the sense that there are parts of continuous high pressure become a burden, and this will damage certain components in the system. But yes, the rules remain the rule. The more so in America, for anyone who does not obey the rules, he could die. There is no compromise. (It varies with traffic, especially in Jakarta. If there is compliance with the rules, he died. It can be seen, now seem to Traffic Light is no longer needed; all can move forward whether red or green lights. Road in both directions and one direction are not No more signs, the motor does not just pass on the street but also on the pavement and there is no ban or take action!). So, one day when you come to San Francisco, then you will see this.

Finally, you must be disappointed to see the famous Golden Gate Bridge. It turns out that the original of The Golden Gate is not as good as we often see in the movies. The more so when later we saw one other bridge which relatively newer than the Golden Gate, and of course look much better.

Actually this bridge is named the Oakland Bay Bridge is better known as the Bay Bridge alone, was first used on November 12, 1936 which means the age of six months older than the Golden Gate.

But after a few times last renovation and new reopened on November 2, 2009, this bridge will be far more beautiful than the Golden Gate. Although she intangible double Decker, but when compared with the Golden Gate, Bay Bridge does not have a walking path on the left and right. There is no place for people to do this jogging on the Bay Bridge. But one thing is undeniable; the two bridges that make San Francisco look more beautiful.
This is become more beautiful because the transportation system in San Francisco is siding with the people at large. More public transport facilities available and facilitate people to travel anywhere. On the other side, those who use private cars will experience tremendous difficulties in finding an area for parking. Parking Area or Public Parking Lot is provided but is limited in some specific places.

And do not be surprised, the tariff is very expensive. That’s America, a capitalist country, the facility generally always side with the grassroots. Reflection elite, the rulers are far more important than the needs of people a lot of thinking about themselves or the groups and associations.
