EATING OUT IN SF
Whatever food you’re looking for – an all-you-can-eat breakfast, a quick lunch, a
romantic dinner – you’ll find it in San Francisco. The city is home to over 4.500
restaurants and eating places. And they’re not only for tourists. On average, San
Franciscans eat out 267 times a year.
You can eat food from anywhere in the world, from Afghan to Argentinian, and
from Vietnamese to vegetarian. With Mexican fast food, Italian bakeries, hundreds of
Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean restaurants, and in-and-out Japanese noodle
shops, it’s possible to eat your way round the world during a single San Francisco
weekend.
And you don’t find good food only in expensive restaurants. You can try great
cooking in any number of small eating-places, where prices are low and reservations
aren’t needed. Portions are often large, but you can ask the restaurant to pack up
anything you don’t eat so you can take it home. But wherever you eat, if you have waiter
service, don’t forget to tip. The exact amount you leave is up to you, but 15-20 per cent
of the bill is normal. An easy was to calculate your tip as to double the sales tax
(currently 8.5 per cent).

Exotic shopping in Paris
Paris, the capital of France, is a shopper’s paradise, with plenty of large
department stores as well as thousands of delightful smaller shops.
Antique lovers can find fantastic furniture in the small antique shops on
Bonaparte and Jacob Streets, and collectors can find rare books on the bookstalls
lining the banks of the River Seine. There are also some great department stores
which sell everything from perfume to furniture. Galleries Lafayette, Paris’ largest
department store on Boulevard Haussmann, offers a great variety of high quality
woolen skirts, leather jackets and designer clothes. The Marais is a group of little
streets with some of the trendiest boutiques. There you can buy fashionable clothes,
shoes and jewellery. For shoppers with big bank accounts, there is a wide range of
jewellers’ and designer fashion houses along the Rue de Rivoli, such as Cartier,
Chanel, Nina Ricci and Christian Dior.
Shops in Paris are usually open from eight or ten in the morning till about
seven in the evening, from Monday to Saturday. The big sales come after Christmas
and before the autumn collections.
Don’t miss the chance to go shopping in Paris. There is always something to
suit everyone’s pocket and taste.
