@@VectorRoblox lol good tip; there’s just so much to do in San Diego ha ha. But yeah, I’ll see what I can do about that.

The hate is not on TH-cam. But good point. It’s from outside viewers.

@@VectorRoblox excellent question! I don’t know but probably somewhere local ha ha. I went to San Diego.

Thanks, man! I'm glad you enjoy!

How is that possible? I think it’s just you click the like button and it counts as light, I don’t think it shows unless you go to the description.

@@TristenChenLife it doesn’t show the like count, that’s why

@VectorRoblox Ah, weird! I'm sure likes should be shown.

@@bozartspianoarchive3546 Ah thanks! LOL I am sure you could play Campanella easily; it's not as bad as people think it is. It will be fun (if you enjoy it). Also CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am so glad you found my channel! :)

@@TristenChenLife Tysm, right now I am learning the 6th Paganini etude by Liszt and planning to play it with un sospiro in another comp hopefully the San Francisco comp again if possible, I wish to meet you again cuz your incredible

@bozartspianoarchive3546 Ah isn't that the concert étude? Wow, that Paganini étude. I am picking up La Leggierezza for other competitions and also La Campanella. Liszt can be quite a buster. I hope all goes well! Hope I can also see you in another competition!

@@School-Theory LOL thanks. And congratulations on the third prize! :) Nah I am sure you can play Campanella no problem. It's not as bad as people say. It is quite enjoyable. BTW do you have a favorite Christmas song? This is my favorite.

@@School-Theory Ah thanks :) Oops I noticed I sent a reply totally irelevant to what you said :) But do you have a favorite Christmas song?

I’m quite filled up, not sure if I’ll have time. However, wish him a happy birthday. Also happy early birthday.

@@TristenChenLife Thanks! Also I sent you an email also

@@BrennerEraFan I am well aware. Thank you.

What's up bro! Hope you can take BART soon! HONK HONK!!!

@@birbtaunt Hi there! I hope you can enjoy my content. If you are new, I am Tristen, a 15-year old completely blind pianist who also enjoys traveling.

@@butterification Oh yeah and I am playing yet another Liszt piece, La Campanella. Won a competition with it.

@@VectorRoblox Well if you are looking for Red Line, Caltrain, or VTA footage, I'll try to put that out soon.

Thanks! :)

Yes, that is a very beautiful location. It’s clean it’s new and it’s just wonderful overall.

Yes, I bought them from the store and then brought some of the packages from in that big box to School.

@@GaugeMeraz-e4o actually yes. We did.

@@GaugeMeraz-e4o the sign up process is quite intense and it requires auditioning. You have to play music for them or something. And then they have to put you in an appropriate music theory level class. So it’s a lot of assessments and auditions. but I am 100% sure you will get in. because you are a wonderful musician. You could sign up for percussion.

@@GaugeMeraz-e4o thanks man! I’m actually performing La Campanella tomorrow.

@@GaugeMeraz-e4o Ooh cool! Did you go to the one in the Westfield Oakridge?

@@GaugeMeraz-e4o you right bro!!!

@@gianni1940 I did not know that. I’m so glad you enjoyed the elevators. do you know the exact name?

@@TristenChenLife they're some sort of Otis traction, I can't tell if they are GEN two traction, if they are known to vibrate a little bit while moving, then they're considered Hydrofit I believe, but if it doesn't vibrate at all and feels very quiet, then they are.

@@gianni1940 They don’t vibrate, all I hear is this sound that kind of sounds like some sort of lifting or lowering mechanism like a chain or something. And of course, I hear the beeping. And most definitely the text to speech voices. but thanks for pointing that out, now I know what kind of elevator it is.

OK, I think it is replaced now. Thank you.

@@VectorRoblox excellent question! We usually use US 101 but I guess for trafficking reasons we used I 880. So that we can get there on time.

@@VectorRoblox or you could just take BART

Yeah, stressed out people who have cars with switchblade keys can use those as a little fidget. And if you don’t have a car with the switchblade key, you could just buy one off Amazon or eBay and use that as your little fidget. Or if you are Very tech savvy, you can even try to program a switchblade key into your car.

But yeah, for some people it could be startling but for us it’s quite funny eh? Now, what do you think of the airhorn? @@gianni1940 I did not know you were visually impaired. by the way, for some reason, my comments just moved my cursor to the top.

@@TristenChenLife yeah I don't know why it probably did that to you. I don't think I have heard the airhorn while I've been in the area. I'm not from San Francisco, I'm in Southern California, so it would be interesting to capture and learn a little bit about the LA metro from my perspective, even though I've only been on it once. I've taken Metrolink a couple of times and it's different compared to Caltrain, but I think it would be something to look at.

@@gianni1940 Yeah I hope I get to ride the LA Metro's B and D lines before the old Breda A650s are gone. They have two horns too: A low horn known as the "Whistle" and the high horn known simply as the high horn. The high horn is your equivalent to the BART air horn.

@@TristenChenLife the reason I like those trains is because the motor on them sounds similar to the fleet of the future. I don't see them getting rid of those trains, but if they are going to do anything with those trains, it would be very unlikely that we would see, a train that has a similar motor to the Bart Legacy fleet.

@@gianni1940 That would be cool. The whistle horn kind of sounds like the Legacy Fleet Air Horn but the Legacy air horn is louder and more violent. The LA Metro's high horn reminds me of both air horns because it's violently loud.

@@VectorRoblox First of all, this is just a demonstration vid. Second, I did think of that. life has been miserable and I might need to take it to SFCM so I am still going back, maybe. I got air horned recently though. :)

@@TristenChenLife good idea, have some fun in your life

@@VectorRoblox Yeah you can't just work and no break, that's slavery, basically.

Yes, thank you very much for your comments. :) If you are navigating on systems around the bay like BART, Caltrain, VTA, and other systems, you should purchase a Clipper Card or get the Clipper app so you can scan your ticket, and do not need to purchase tickets all the time. If you ride BART, just so you know, there may be crazy things going on around there, so always be aware of your surroundings. Be careful while riding, especially in Oakland and San Francisco. But it's OK, everything will be just fine. Same thing for SF Muni. The cable cars, street cars, and anything like that in SF should be fine. Caltrain is quite the quiet system, the trains are nice, the environment is also pretty chill, but you still want to keep an eye out. VTA is like the mid level system, not super nuts, but sometimes things can happen, but they are quite unlikely, Santa Clara County is quite the safe place. BART operates primarily in the East Bay, taking riders to Berryessa in San Jose, Dublin, Pleasanton, the Oakland (OAK) Airport, Antioch, Richmond, and Millbrae, running in part of Santa Clara County, Alameda County, Contra Costa County, and a part of San Mateo County. In terms of accessibility, BART and VTA (Light Rail) are the most accessible. They have cane guides to guide you where you need to go, their trains ACTUALLY meet with the platform so wheelchair users can easily roll on, and enjoy themselves. In terms of accessibility, Caltrain is UNACCEPTABLE. Too many stairs! There are no ramps or anything. When boarding the train, you must take a HUGE step to get on. No cane guides either. ABSOLUTELN UNACCEPTABLE!

@@TristenChenLife i've been on BART, but I've never been on VTA or Caltrain. I heard Caltrain is working on the platform edges to make them more accessible to wheelchair users with the new EMU train sets.

@@gianni1940 Well it's still a huge step to get on the train. The old trains had 4 steps, but now they have modified it to just one. But it's still very high off, so I think it would be a bit better if they made it so the train and platform are at the same height.

@@TristenChenLife they are saying they're going to be doing that with the new California high-speed rail. What is VTA like?

@@gianni1940 VTA Light Rail only takes you there a portion of Santa Clara County (Campbell, San Jose, Santa Clara, Milpitas, Sunnyvale, Mountain View) but the trains are double decked (I think.) It's not really double decking, there is just a section that allows you to climb up steps to sit down at a slightly higher level. The trains are relatively quiet, and it's quite chill. It is nice. Seats are quite small though. You should ride it some day.

@@VectorRoblox oh my goodness! That does not sound too good. How was the air train? Did you intend to fly somewhere or were you flying from somewhere to SFO? or were you just riding for fun?

@@TristenChenLife we went to SFO just to drop off my grandma

@VectorRoblox Nice! :) You can take BART to SFO if you did not know.

@@TristenChenLife yea ik Problem is, it’s not directly connected to San Jose

@@VectorRoblox Oh yeah that can be an annoyance :) But you could take the Green line from Berryessa to Balboa Park then the Yellow to SFO or Orange from Berryessa to 12th St and then Yellow to SFO.

@@VectorRoblox Not sure if you saw me going with a companion. But I do not go alone.

@@TristenChenLife no I mean, since you won’t be back at the Oakridge mall (until next year), what happens if you need to shop there

@@VectorRoblox Well it's not like Grocery Shopping is going to be fully dropped since it is not something that takes an entire thing to do, but we also do not live anywhere in a mile's range from Oakridge. We may make trips there, though, only if necessary.
