Our trip to downtown Chinatown

At our trip to interview people in Chinatown was complicated since all the people there were really busy trying to get to there jobs and even store owners would tell us they were busy even though they were just relaxing taking a sip of their coffee. We went to the plaza and tried to ask the people that were there since they were just sitting down and relaxing. There were only girls in my group including me and we didn’t even get a female interviewed except for three males and made up a conversation and asked if they could be interviewed and responded with a yes. One of the males was one who use to come to the same school that we attend today. We asked them about how they feel about the food there and which was the most common. Before we even went there we had the feeling that people were going to be busy since at this time people are at there jobs and students at their schools. The differences that we saw between Chinatown and Fruitvale were that we did get both females and males time to get interviewed at Fruitvale while at Chinatown we only had interviews from males. One of the similarities we saw between Fruitvale and Chinatown was that we only had a few interviews from three to four people. Something that surprised us about Chinatown was seeing a person that use to attend our school, and that we didn’t get a single female to get interviewed.

Our Journey to Fruitvale

On our journey going to Fruitvale was really complicated since almost none of the people wanted to be interviewed. It was much more easier at Walnut Creek and they were much more nicer and had time for us meanwhile in Fruitvale people were busy trying to get to their jobs. Something that I learned was that in Walnut Creek there is not much diversity and in Fruitvale there is. The people in Fruitvale were really shy and even a lady that was selling Fruit, which at first did let us interview her then she got really shy and red and we told her that it was okay and we left. We were even nice and we didn't approach the people their in a bad manner, but I guess the way we introduced our selves wasn't right since some of the people their didn't understand the reason of why we were their. Some of the positive things were that we changed the way we approached people and tried to make up a conversation and the way we introduced ourselves to people and we finally got three interviews and the people their were really positive about it. Some of the negative aspects about Fruitvale were that people just said no in a bad manner. People there were busy. What I learned about my topic at Fruitvale was that our community is healthy but the fast-food restaurants surrounding us is bad and make us realize that the only thing that is bad is our eating habits. Also we need to pay more attention to the people that have disabilities such as the people in wheel chairs by having more ramps in the sidewalks.
