Apple Admits To Using Child Labor

In recent findings, Apple factories have not only been caught using child labor, but many of the factories have been exposing their workers to a chemical called n-hexane. N-hexane has been known to cause muscular degeneration and blurred eyesight.

Apple, a corporation that generated 42 Billion dollars last year has no excuse for this. Since the findings, Apple has stopped using these factories. I sure hope that Apple will continue to invest in better factories not because they got caught, but because its the right thing to do.

Grand Opening Of New People In Japan Town!

This new four story mini mall is jam packed with Japanese Pop Culture. I absolutely love the Japanese culture and I know Japan Town like the back of my hand, but I was absolutely blown away when I visited New People. It was an eye opening experience and I highly recommend for everyone to check this place out.

Highlights-

There is a 143 seat movie theater in the basement. Japanese Films and Anime!

The first floor consists of a few eateries as well as a store that sells incredibly brilliant Japanese goodies.

The second floor consists of a few interesting clothing stores.

The top floor is an art gallery that is currently displaying artwork by Yoshitaka Amano! He is most known for doing the artwork for the early Final Fantasy Games.

Sushi Raw Special!

A new sushi raw opened recently at 682 Haight st. Although I have yet to actually eat at a Sushi Raw restaurant, they are offering a special that I cant refuse. Two for one Beer and Sake! I absolutely love Japanese food and I love beer. This definitely gives me a reason to check this place out. I at least know that if their food is wack, Ill have two beers to wash it down.

San Francisco 2010 Gay Summer Anthem!

This is definitely going to be San Francisco's gay anthem this summer. Listen to the addicting chorus HERE.

Toronado Pub

Located at 547 Haight Street, this pub looks like any other small bar in sf. What makes this bar so special is that they do not serve liquor, its all beer baby. The beer list on the website boasts 46 different types of beer. The bar itself is visually pleasant as well. The walls are dressed with pictures, stickers, beer tap handles and a vast assortment of other goodies.

The service was very casual. Order and go, just how I like it. The crowd was very laid back, mostly guys in their early 20's to 40's. Many looking like they just got off of work as well as the typical Haight crowd. One huge plus was that you could bring food in and enjoy it with your beer. I highly recommend this bar, its not too flashy and the music is not blaring. Its a great place for you and your friends to have drinks and conversate.

Pros-
Inexpensive
Music not too loud

Recommended beers-
Anchor Steam
Pliny the Elder
Beatification
Epiphany

Price-$$

(Starbucks) Red

Starbucks and Red have teamed up to help people living with AIDS in Africa. Starbucks now offers a red card. This card can be loaded with money and used like any other Starbucks card. What makes this card so special is that every time you use it, Starbucks contributes 5 cents to the Global Fund to help people living with AIDS in Africa. It may not seem like much to you, but for them it means so much more. If you use your card 9 times, you will provide one person with a days worth of medication.

If you are a regular coffee drinker, please invest in one of these cards. Instead of using cash or a credit card to pay, put some money on a red card. Without even trying, you will be helping someone in Africa live another day.

Welcome to San Francisco

While only 7x7 miles, San Francisco is the 12th most populated city in the United States. This little city may not compare in size to the massive concrete jungle that is New York, but like New York, it bleeds culture and history. The transition from Little Italy, to China Town, to the Mission, to the Castro, to Japan Town or any other district is almost seamless. I feel this has greatly contributed to the open mindedness of its citizens, as well as the acceptance of many different lifestyles, religions and cultures.
