A scavenger hunt around San Francisco

Part of the tradition for first year MBA students here is to run around for an afternoon, searching for cryptic clues about the city, take some creative photos at those places, in order to win some cool prizes. That's right - a good ol' fashioned scavenger hunt around the beautiful city of San Francisco ...



The first stop? China town. Ah, I had a bowl of cheap noodles and I felt right at home. The fact it was China town was a giveaway ... judging by the appearance of strange Asian men playing outdated instruments ...



And my personal favourite - $1 shops ... surrounded by 99 cent shops to beat the competition, and then, you guessed it ...



But soon, it was off to continue the scaveneger hunt. The winning team EACH received an iPod! So we had to go to really high places ... (it was just like Central Station in Sydney!)



... To all the way down the bottom of San Fran city's endless hills ... where there were lots of buskers and trams ...



... Stopping by candy shops, of course, in order to pick up suppliers for the afternoon, and cute photos!



How did we go? Out of 60 teams, I'm fairly sure we came in the bottom 10! But it was a great opportunity to see one of the great, bustling, quasi-Asian, waterfront, hilly, metropolises of the world ...
