My Visit to Chinatown

At our trip to China Town we got a chance to look at what the similarities between China Town and Fruitvale. Before we were there I though that China Town was going to be a really hard place to get interviews because since most of the people there might not be familiar with the language we speak. Once we were there my perspectives of china town did not change, china is a place were there are a lot of people who do not speak eighter English or Spanish and that was a big challenge Because we couldn’t find a way to communicate with them. The only difference that I saw there that we did not see in Fruitvale is that in China Town there were hardly any Mexican food restaurants.

Our Vist To Fruitvale

Today in our walk to Fruitvale Village. Was kind of the same than what we experienced in Walnut Creek. Some of the things that were similar were that the people dint wanted to get interviewed. It’s weird because while being at Walnut Creek we thought that they were being racist by not letting us get interviewed. But when we were in Oakland we also got the same type of rejections. Some of the things that were different were that since my group had more practice we changed the way we approved the people and asked them questions. This time as an interviewer I was having a conversation with the people that I think helped us get stronger interviews. In general my perspective of Fruitvale was that its way different than Walnut Creek. Their aesthetics were very different.

Welcome!

Hey, Olivia! Welcome to the blogging world! : )

HEYYYYY...

Hello Everyone.... My name is Olivia and I am a junior in a high school located in East Oakland. I enjoy shopping spending time with my home girls. I am a really friendly person to everyone that’s friendly to me. Umm something that I don’t really like is “silence”. I am the type of girl that would come up with any random think too loud out the place. Even when everything is going all bad for me everyone would see me laughing. As a teenager in an everyday life I have been going through a lot of struggles but I am clad as the days going by I am learning to overcome them. Just like any teenagers around the world there are many that have not had an easy life. But for whatever reason they have overcome it. I am planning to go to college.
