CHINATOWN, SAN FRANCISCO

Anyone who was not chinese had a camera around their neck; I looked just like every other tourist. It is stepping into another world; the sights and colors are exciting. I started out with a different thought for this post and as I began to look over the photos a pattern emerged; the banks. The effort they had made to integrate into the culture I found striking. The churches were another institution that made great efforts to integrate, the exception being the catholic church.

On the square was music and singing, for me one of the areas that made the cultural distinction. It would definitely not be my choice in music.
