DAY 7 Worst day ever in San Francisco. So many things I planned got ruined as they were not open. Got up in the morning to go to the Modern Art Museum but it was closed so I thought I'll go buy my broadway tickets but that was when the nightmare started. I got lost for nearly 3 hours looking for that place. Ironically, it wasn't that far from downtown but I the problem lies within the street. Hickory street wasn't just one street. It is a chain of street broken up into a few pieces. Lost, I walked up and down the hills, searching for the theater and I couldn't find it. Even the locals couldn't pinpoint the direction of the theater to me. On the bright side, I had a good workout and definitely lost a lot of calories. When I finally found it, it was closed, sadly I walked back to my hostel and it started to rain. What a gloomy day it was, year 2010 didn't seem so great now.
So, decided to call my parents with SKYPE but as I am buying Skype credit with my debit card, the same problem appeared, Verification by VISA failed 5 times and I stopped. Each time I am charged $1 again and I bet now my debit card has been cut off. This is the second time it happened to me. Tomorrow, I have to wake up early and call them to get this done again because I will be in big trouble if my debit card doesn't work throughout my trip and the bank is only in few states such as Montana and Wyoming. Sadly, this has spoiled my mood to go out and watch NINE at the Castro Theater today.
PS: Signing off, going to sleep early. Rowan and some people are coming down tomorrow and I hope it would be a better day than today.
