For part of my Cultural Transmissions module we went on a field trip through Chinatown. We were given a tour by a man named King Fong who came here in 1946 and has lived here since. He's 71 years old and actually got to carry the Olympic torch in 2000 from the old Chinatown to the new Chinatown. After the tour we were given a free meal at one of the nicer restaurants in the area. We sat around the table talking for awhile with one of our professors, Mark. That man has been all over the world and has a story for everything. We talked about American sports and his history playing sports at Sydney Uni. He talked about the time when he overstayed his visa by a day in the States and how he still sometimes is given a hard time about it by customs. I think I could've stayed around that table all day talking.
Today I need to write a paper since I have class all day tomorrow and it is due Friday!
Here's to the first paper of many...
