The trip to Chinatown
By Shawn Powell
This week we went to Chinatown. The trip was fascinating because the majority of us have never really seen what Chinatown looks like and the art of their culture. When we went to Chinatown we saw a wall with the history of the Chinese men when they first came to America for the ''gold rush''. The wall also indicated how the Americans tried to build the vine street express across Chinatown, but the Chinese people didn't allow them to .
During our trip to Chinatown we learned a lot about the Chinese history in Philly. And we saw how many stores are in Chinatown. After we walked around Chinatown we went to a Chinese resturant and ate some Chinese food with the chop sticks, which was a little hard for some of us. But, overall, our trip to Chinatown was very fun.

Wow Shawn that was great
Hi Shawn!
Great recap of your trip to Chinatown!
Which Philadelphia neighborhood would you like to visit next?
Ms. Naomi
I was interested in your visit to Chinatown because I live there. Did you notice that the street signs are written in English and in Chinese? I hope you were able to go into some of the stores where they sell fresh food, including live fish and crabs. If not, maybe next time. I like living in Chinatown because it's convenient and the people are very friendly.
