One of the best parts of travel is to explore other cultures, and we love the opportunity to do that in our own city. Chinatown is right next door to the hostel and offers so many ways to taste, smell, hear, and see new experiences. One budget way to experience San Francisco and Chinatown is to do a free tea tasting. You can learn all about the various teas and try them without having to break your careful backpacker budget. Meet Zeke in the common room to head out as a group.
