chinatown


     Yesterday we went to chinatown to do interviews.
i've been to chinatown a couple of times, i have drove
pass there. My first thought about chinatown was that
it's very busy. After actually going and hanging out
there, my perception of chinatown is the same, its
very busy and there are a lot of people there shopping
and walking around.
some of the things that are the same about
chinatown and fruitvale is that there basically one
race of people. in fruitvale there are latinos and
hispanics and in chinatown there's all types of
asians. one thing that i notice that is different
about the two is that in chinatown is that they have a
lot of resturants and shopping places, in fruitvale
its just busy.
What sort of surprised me but chinatown was that i
did see other people beside the asian community, there
were blacks and whites there, i don't think i seen
anyway hispanics, but i did see other races besides
asians. At first before we went to chinatown, i
thought that only asians go there and hang there but i
was really wrong
some similarities i noticed is that everybody
pretty much gets long with everybody.I think that
pretty much goes with every race, i believe that it's
just the "norm" that when you in a community with the
same race, you get along better. Not saying that it
should be that way but, i noticed that everybody in
chinatown were saying hi to each other and genuinely
comfortable in there surroundings
