Right now, Im missing, kinda want to satisfy the longing for..

The smell of San Francisco.

I didnt even realize it had a distinctive smell, depending on if youre by the water or inland, until just now.

I wouldnt mind being there right now, say for a week.

Dried shrimp.

I dont know the chinese name for it, but I used to eat it as a kid. ( Jamaican food, being the food of immigrants - is not just rice and beans.. I grew up on kimchee and lychee too..)

Although Im pretty sure I could find it in Chinatown if I really looked - I havent seen any in all the time Ive been here.

Of course, I lived on the stuff in SF - as I could find it tres easily in SF's and Oaktown's chinatowns.

*sigh* I could use me a trip.
