Late week one blog- danny luo

For the first week of study in Urbana Institution, I met new friends from different backgrounds. After went through the brief ice breaking process and few tours together, I started to know others better. In the first week of study, I did not only make friends, but also have the general idea of Chinatown history and the history of the affordable housing. Thanks to Gordan’s book and his tour guide, I started to view the Chinatown at a different perspective. Before, I viewed Chinatown as a tour sight and a community for Asian Americans. Now, I view it as an icon and exemplar of Chinese community in the United States, and it also absorbs the Chinese and American culture. ​
