      Hmm, all the stereotypical stuff of course: golden gate bridge, twin peaks, pier 39, the Painted Ladies at Alamo square, the castro. I'd also check out an off the grid event (food trucks), Mitchell's or Humphry Slocombe ice cream, clubbing in SoMa, the bison at golden gate park, the Sutro Baths...

      If you're the one receiving, frankly not much. If you're doing it, most likely increased risk of getting certain types of hepatitis. Get vaccinated against hep A and B if you haven't done so already.

      I kept a very open mind to all the possibilities out there--and there are a lot! While I think I've found my niche, I still wanna keep everything open just in case I do find something else.

      Spring break is next month. I'll be going to Honolulu for a few days. Then I have a week off in May. Why? You want me to come by? ;)

      Basically experiencing different fields of pharmacy, from community/retail, acute care, ambulatory care, etc. At my school, I have 8 rotations that are 6 weeks long, anywhere from 40-60 hours a week. I start in April 2012 and finish in March 2013.

      A reprint of a cookbook by MFK Fisher. Fascinating piece about American cuisine in the 40s and 50s...

      The Big Island when I interviewed for UHH pharm school. That was surreal--being in 80 degree weather and seeing snow on Mauna Kea!

      Depends on scholarships, family helping out, etc. Most of my friends are leaving with ~100K.

      Be yourself. Treat him as if he were any other guy Don't ingratiate yourself to his culture. I hope you're dating him because he's a nice guy, not because he's Filipino.

      As long as you don't cum near any broken skin, or near mucous membranes (like mouth, ass, etc.), you're fine.

      Lol. A year from now I'll still be in SF since I'll be doing rotations till 3/13. The probability is 100%. :P

      The same as doing it if you're a bottom. The risks are slightly less, but I know a few guys who've gotten STDs (including HIV) who were strictly tops.

      Well, that activism has always made me feel special affinity towards underserved people (like POC, LGBT, women, HIV+, etc). I'm hoping I'll be able to do rotations with a trans clinic, and encourage LGBTPOC to consider the health professions. we need more people like me out there!

      Without knowing anything about how rice is prepared in other cultures, I can't really say. There wasn't any supposed ritual that I learned. (I was trained as a sociologist not as an anthropologist.)
