My friend Laura came to visit San Francisco, from scenic Scotland. And she loved it here, but had these two pieces of advice for the city:
1. Turn up the evening temperature a bit.
2. Paint the Golden Gate Bridge gold.
Laura is possibly the only person EVER to see the totally breathtaking, amazing feat of engineering which is the Golden Gate Bridge, and register this reaction: disappointment.
"It's not gold."

is this a Scottish thing?
She just doesn't get to come back now. Ever. SF visa has been revoked for lack-of-appreciation.
I was more astounded by the suggestion to turn up the evening temperature!! This woman lives in Scotland, and there are 35 ways to say "damp, foggy, cold weather" in Scots...
