10 Things NOT To Do in San Francisco!
Get more Tips here! destinationtips.com
Today we check out some don't do's of San Fran, based on sftravel.com's article.
Don’t pack a tropical wardrobe; the mercury hovers around 60 degrees even in summer.
Don’t park on a hill or even a slope without cramping your wheels to the curb, setting the hand brake and putting the car in parking gear. It’s the law.
Don’t stand directly behind a cable car gripman; you’ll get the wind knocked out of you when he jerks back on the brake lever.
Don’t send for an ambulance if you hear a chorus of moans, groans, grunts and wails, it’s the foghorns.
Don’t carry a milk pail to Cow Hollow; the old dairy district west of Van Ness Avenue has become a popular shopping sector.
Don’t call cable cars trolleys; they’re powered by the moving steel cable you hear humming in the slot beneath your feet.
Don’t plan to go swimming in San Francisco Bay unless you’re a member in good standing of the Polar Bear Club.
Don’t board a public conveyance without exact fare; the drivers don’t make change.
Don’t be caught without an umbrella; the coastal mists are capricious.
Don’t color the bridge over the Golden Gate gold; it’s International Orange.
It’s ’”the city by the bay” not “the city on the bay”
Above all, don’t call it “Frisco” or “San Fran.”

Puy de Dôme is a large lava dome and one of the youngest volcanoes in the Chaîne des Puys region of Massif Central in central France.
This chain of volcanoes including numerous cinder cones, lava domes, and maars is far from the edge of any tectonic plate.
Puy de Dôme is approximately 10 kilometres from Clermont-Ferrand.
The Puy-de-Dôme département (with hyphens) is named after the volcano.
In pre-Christian Europe, Puy de Dôme served as an assembly place for spiritual ceremonies.
Temples were built at the summit, including a Gallo-Roman temple dedicated to the God Mercury, the ruins of which were discovered in 1873.
In 1648, Florin Périer, at the urging of Blaise Pascal, proved Evangelista Torricelli's theory that barometric observations were caused by the weight of air by measuring the height of a column of mercury at three elevations on Puy de Dôme.
In 1875, a physics laboratory was built at the summit.
Since 1956, a TDF (Télédiffusion de France) antenna is also located there.
On the top of the mountain, there is a transmitter for FM and TV.
The Puy de Dôme is one of the most visited sites in the Auvergne region, attracting nearly 500,000 visitors a year.
The summit offers expansive views of the Chaîne des Puys and Clermont-Ferrand. It is a well-known centre for paragliding.
The summit can be reached by two pedestrian path : a southern one (Le sentier des muletiers, formerly a Roman road) and a northern one (Le sentier des chèvres) which runs past the Nid de la Poule crater.
The GR 4 long-distance trail includes both paths to cross the mountain.
Since May 2012, visitors can also go up the mountain by train with the Panoramique des Dômes, a rack railway.
A road exists along the train tracks but it is closed to the general traffic, except for the military, service vehicles or emergencies.
At the top of the mountain, restaurants and shops are available as well as a visitor centre giving information on the history and geology of the area.
In more recent times, Puy de Dôme has served as an occasional stage finish in the Tour de France.

It was here that in 1964 Raymond Poulidor battled with Jacques Anquetil in one of the race's most famous moments, racing side by side up almost the entire climb; and that in 1975 Eddy Merckx was punched in the kidney by a spectator. According to Jean-François Pescheux, since the construction of a rack railway, and because of the very narrow road, the Tour will never come back to the Puy de Dôme, its last ascension in the race being in 1988.

Top 10 Shameful Facts About Canada
Are these the 10 worst things that have ever happened in Canada?
Like any country, Canada has its fair share of proud moments. But, like every other country, it has also had its share of controversial moments. Here is a list of ten things in Canadian history that nobody likes to talk about.
THE RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL SYSTEM
Why did the residential school system bring shame to Canada? More than 150,000 native kids were thrown into this harsh and unfamiliar system against their will or the wishes of their parents. And, worse than that, some did not come home alive.
In the beginning of the 19th century, Canada established the Canadian Indian Residential School System as an attempt to help aboriginals make the transition from the traditional lifestyle lived for thousands of years to a more alternative, different way of life, with a more European influence.
Although the intention was to integrate Native Canadians within European-Canadian society, the whole process was far from positive for those families: thousands were separated from their families and communities, and the government has been accused of cultural genocide for the policy of not tolerating any native culture.
THE COMMERCIAL SEAL HUNT IN CANADA
Millions of Canadians are ashamed of the fact that the country has the largest slaughter of marine mammals on the planet. Not a record to be proud of, for sure. In the past four years, the hunt increased tremendously, although the global demand for seal products has decreased around the world. Attributed mainly to the 2009 ban on seal products in the European Union, although in 2015, the European Union did amend the ban to take into consideration the socioeconomic and cultural significance of seal hunting by the Inuit and other indigenous communities, allowing seal based products to exempted from the 2009 ban.
Images of seals being pummelled to death has shocked the public, and even though the Canadian government claims that it is no less cruel then what happens in slaughterhouses around the world, the public are adamant in their belief that the practice of seal hunting is cruel.
THE EXPULSION OF JAPANESE CANADIANS IN 1942
More than 25,000 Japanese Canadians had to abandon their homes due to an order from the Federal Cabinet, as the beginning of a process of confinement in camps, humiliated and feeling betrayed, more than 4000 Japanese opted to leave Canada under the repatriation scheme. Japanese Canadians that were confined to internment camps had their property confiscated and auctioned off to pay for their internment, the only race of people who were forced to pay for their own internment.
Traumatized by these events that lasted 8 years, the Japanese Canadians felt humiliated by such experience: victims of racism and discrimination, they knew that they were innocent victims, but they could not do anything to stop that.
But things are different lately, discrimination has considerably decreased, and Japanese Canadians are now viewed no differently than anyone else: they are seen as well-educated, hard-working and integrated to Canadian culture, while keeping their own tradition.
THE BAN ON BLACK IMMIGRANTS IN 1911
On the assumption that African-Americans could never meet the strict regulations on health and financial support set by the government, nor the literacy level of Canadians, many Black African immigrants were not allowed to enter Canada. When The Immigration Act was passed it gave the government total power to regulate immigration in Council (i.e. on whim), with prohibitions of immigrants belonging to any class, occupation or character unsuited to the climate or requirements of Canada. Another Order in Council was released in order to discourage any black immigrant to move to Canada.
LAKE ONTARIO’S POLLUTION
Home and source of drinking water for more than 9 million people, Lake Ontario has suffered from pollution from human activities, resulting in the extinction of species of fish, among other environmental issues. But many f the fish that would normally be eaten by the population are now considered inappropriate and dangerous, as several tests are performed regularly and samples of phosphorus, dioxins and other toxins have been found in species such as salmon and trout. Because of mercury, thousands of kilos of fish are not available for consumption.
Lake Ontario Waterkeeper, a Canadian charity organization, is constantly trying to warn the population on how to avoid polluting the lake, as well as advocating for new laws to protect Lake Ontario.
