Trip to Chinatown


Before arriving to Chinatown my thoughts where that it was going to be a very challenging to interview people because there is sometimes people that don't know the English language as good. When I arrived there it was actually a place in where you would see different kind of ethnicities. When we walked around to try and find some people to interview, we got king of frustrated because we would go into different restaurant or any other food store to ask and they would reject us. Their excuses were that they were too busy, that their manager wasn't there or similar excuses like those. At the end we ended up interviewing three different people. It was a whole different experience for me it was harder interviewing people at Chinatown.

Some differences I saw between Chinatown and Fruitvale were that at Fruitvale you would see a lot of Hispanic people and at Chinatown the majority would be Asian although there would also be some of other ethnicities. Both of the places seemed to have people that got along with each other. Although it was a different community, it was a very good experience for me to be able to make comparisons between Fruitvale and China Town.
