At one hotel in San Francisco, Steve asks for directions to the Marriott downtown but learns that it is the hotel's policy not to give directions to other competing hotels.
"What if I get the address to the hotel, then ask you for directions to the street?", he complains, rummaging through his backpack and tattered maps.
Later at a street carnival, Steve tries his luck at a Midway game. The rules state that a thrown ping-pong ball must come to rest atop a square block. He does so and opens the block to reveal a toy goldfish in a bag of water. Steve exchanges this for five more blocks which he then proceeds to open. Each one contains a cheap plastic leaf, some green, some yellow, some of which the barker informs him are 'rare'.
Steve decides to rent a tent and roller coaster from the nearby amusement park. Inside the tent are arcade games and the roller coaster features corkscrews and loops.
