California State Senator Leland Yee visited campus this week to talk to students, staff and faculty about issues affecting those with Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage. He started his speech by saying that while the Asian/Pacific Islander Community (API) has some unique issues, the communities really are affecting by the same issues that affect everyone else in the state - housing affordibility, employment, gas prices, quality of education, etc. etc.
Students were asked to bring snacks to share with the audience. They offered a hodge-podge of Asian treats that are readily sold in California.
Notice the "Espresso" candy in this one.

Haight Street-8
Photos taken along Haight Street. Most of these restaurants are within a few blocks of each other, making the whole area one giant teriyaki donut.
I bet most people don't know there is a distinct difference between Mexican and Salvadorian food.

This, of course, is an "Irish" Pub that serves nachos, tacos, cheeseburgers, Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches, Bangers and Mash (which is English, not Irish), turkey sandwiches and of course "Irish Nachos" to make sure that you know it's an "Irish Pub."

Fortune Cookies in China
This link is to a blog and video that shows the reaction of people in China to "Fortune Cookies." "Why do American's put messages in their cookies," was the most common question asked.
This, of course, is another collision between two cultures, in my opinion. The cookies and fortunes are purely American, but they were created within the American-Chinese community as a way to offer an after-dinner treat and therefore has become "Chinese food" in the eyes of Americans.
Enjoy the film.

Chiken Follow up
Dagnabit. The picture I linked to had a sign that said "Chiken" and was used to advertise a specific meal at a taco truck. But the picture is inaccesible.
Anyway, this blog has not been abandoned. I have just been really busy but wish to continue my "cultural explorations" here. Please have patience. I apologize for any inconvenience in my most recent life style.
