Street Fashion from UC Berkeley neighborhood

Last week we went toi UC Berkeley campus. When we got there, there were a lot of college students
 walking by us. I saw many different stylish people. Most of the people were dressed properly. I think because they are college students. When I saw teenagers most of them were dressed in hip hop style. When I see them I can tell they listens to R&B or Hip Hop. They were wearing baggy clothes and jewerlies.
There was one white person were walking by us. I did'nt liked his style because he were wearing some thight pants like a girl has long hair and his clothes were very dirty and he were caring big bagpack on his back. He had a dog with him and he skateboards. I thought he is hippie guy. After, we left the UC Berkeley we went to ate ice cream on the way there was some crazy guy were passing by us. When he passed by us he almost hit our teacher he was screaming. He were wearing brown pants and brown jacket. He had a big backpack like the hippie guy. I think he used to be in the military before and that is why he become crazy. He walks like a crack head. Also he look like Anishtain the famous scientist.

Art Review of the Mission District

Today, I saw cultural murals in San Francisco on Mission District. In the artwork, you can see people are protesting togheter which I believe reprsents a political or social message at struugle and empowerment. In the artwork, you can see in this mural there is big giant house robot in the city of San Francisco which I believe represents that the government wanted to destroy the mission district houses and build a office. They wanted to kick the poor people out of the neighborhood and build a new buildings. This mural made me felt like I wish everybody in the world were equal and have same rights. I would love to have this mural in my house because it is nice artwork. I would'nt buy a print of it. I want the original mural like that if I get a chance to have it.

Cultural Review of at the Vietnamese restaurant

Today, I experienced vietnasese food one restaurant located on telegraph 44th and the name of the restaurant is Pho. One thing I learned about this culture is that they have many sea foods and they uses often vegtebales and leaves to cook some other foods. In this field trip, I saw little remakins on the table and there was three sauce on the table. The sauce tastes hot and kind of sweet. This is similar to different than my country culture becasue we put stone in the fire and make the stone hot and red. Then we put raw meat vegetables and onions you can put whatever you want to put in. Then you take out the stone out of the fire and put in the meat. In this field trip, I saw differentkind of furtinutes. All of the furtinutes were wooden. This is similar to my culture because long time ago my country used to use wooden furtniture we makes them by ourselves. I did not realy felt nothing speciall about taste from the food but, it tastes good. I liked the food. I liked it because it is soft. I would not visit that neighborhood again. I rather to visit the country.

Day at the Albany Bowl



On June 11th we went to Albany Bowl. I came to school very late that day. I slept too later the day before. So, I was very tired and sleepy. I woke up suddenly and time was 9:20 pm. When I came to school my class were already left for the trip. I came to school around 10 o'clock but, I was lucky to go to Albany Bowl because my friend had his car that day. Then we rode to Albany Bowl. Another problem occurred when we got there because my teachers refused to pay for us. Finally then gladly they paid for us for the bowling because they nice. Then we walked to the counter of the Albany Bowl. Four of us played on one line I was playing with Rustam, Jose,  and Josse. I played Bowl once in my life before but, I was doing well but, Rustam did better than me.

The other day we went to UC Berkeley we took bus number 1 to go to there. We got off the bus and walked through the campus. Then we gathered together and start interviewed people. We come out with our own questions. There were  a lot of college student were walking by so we asked many people to interview them. Some of them would not let us interview them and some of them were nice and let us interview. After we finished interview people. We went the big tower in UC Berkeley campus to takle some pictures. Then we went to the museum of paleontology in UC Berkeley campus to see the dionasour bone. Then we wen to eat ice cream and went back to school. I liked the campus because I want to go to UC Berkeley some day.

Trip to Mission District

On Friday, our class went to San Francisco to see the murals around the neighborhood on Mission District. We walked to Bart station from here to 24th Mission.
When we got off the Bart and went to "Precita eyes mural tours" building. When we entered the building there were one guy who leaded us and explain what are the murals represent. The place we went to there were a lot of buildings most of the buildings were one or two floor. There were many people walking. Most of the time I saw Latinos people walking by the streets. The environment of the neighborhood is messy and dirty. People around the neighborhood there were many different races different ages. The place we went to it smells like tacos somewhere I can smell nasty things.
That day was very hot I was tired of walking I heard many kids playing in the park. I experienced taste of taco. I never tasted taco like that ever before.The taco tastes like a chicken. It was good.

Restraunt Review


          Today my class went to Vietnamese restaurant named Pho. One food we ate is egg rolls. Egg rolls looks like something rolled in flour. Its smells like vegetables. It tastes all right not that bad. I didn't really liked it. Another food we at is fried chicken wings. It looks like cooked in oil. It tastes like any other wings I eat. The size of the restaurant is medium, maybe about 60 people can fit in there. They serve Vietnamese food. Their menu includes appetizers menu with vegetables, there were not desserts menu section. Overall, I think I give rating 5 on a scale of 1-10 for the restaurant.

NADA Just A Poem

I wonder what makes people truly happy
I hear something is not true.
I see nothing from from from the future.
I want people to know who I am.

I pretend I don't know anybody
I see people are not real in the reality
I know that they don't know what it is
I cry

I understand some people can be true.
I say
I dream something I know it is Deja Vu
I try to be flexible trying to find my flexibility.
I know what my spirits wants Its there for me.
