• San Diego is such a beautiful place. The weather is nice, the night sky is clear, and the city has personality. I came here to take part in Chi and Charlene's wedding, which was beautiful even more beautiful. It's always great to see true love between two people. I can think of nobody more deserving that those two.

  
  

  I did okay as the emcee. There was definitely room for improvement. I just hope that I made Chi and Charlene happy. I just wanted to honor and celebrate their love. There were about 200 people, and many were individuals I hadn't seen in years, so the reunion of sorts was great. If I weren't so busy, I probably could've spoken with them more, but I had a duty to perform and that was worth it. It also turned out to be Chi's parents 30th anniversary, and just two days after Charlene's 32nd anniversary. That means many more years of anniversaries to be celebrated together.

  
  

  Afterwards, we went to the Gaslamp district, where the nightlife is awesome.  There are people that ride bikes with trailers to perform something like a taxi service. Imagine a horse and carriage but with someone riding a bike as the horse. The brothers and I rode in some and turned it into a race. It's a lot of fun and I would recommend it to people if they find themselves in San Diego.

  
  

  I was speaking to our driver, whose name is Memet. He is a student in Turkey majoring in business administration. Apparently, he is going to be in San Diego for three months with the primary purpose of saving up some money. The drivers rent the bikes from one of three companies in San Diego at a rate of $150 per week, on top of getting a special license to offer the service. I wonder if they make a lot of money. I think something like that would be a hit in Davis and Sacramento.
