It is a two story outdoor mall that has many shops as well as restaurants. The sign below lets tourists know that they have arrived in Chinatown Square. As you can see, the English letters are much larger than the Chinese characters. This probably emphasizes the fact that it is a tourist attraction, particularly for those who won't be able to read the Chinese characters. I decided this would be the perfect spot to conduct my interviews. I only got to interview one tourist as the others were unwilling to help, but I asked about why he came to Chinatown Square, how he liked the food, and most importantly, I asked him about his comfort level in Chinatown. This person I interviewed was the perfect candidate to interview because he was Caucasian, and I confirmed that he could not read Chinese. He said he liked how the signs and menus of restaurants all had English words on them because it helped to bridge the cultural gap present in his own culture and that of Chinatown. The English words helped him navigate through the menu as well as the shops. I asked him if he would be comfortable if there was much less English or no English on the shops in Chinatown. He said no, and explained that both situations would not be welcoming to tourists. I also asked if Chinatown needed more English to be welcoming to guests, and he said there was already a good balance between Chinese and English (at least in Chinatown Square) that helped him navigate, so there would be no need to implement more English signage. My question for anyone who has been to Chinatown before is, "Is there enough English in Chinatown to allow you to enjoy your visit"?]]> 2018-05-01 00:06:28 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_prikhodko/rkd9mklohtsl/wish/256729182 lpham2908 https://padlet.com/maria_prikhodko/rkd9mklohtsl/wish/256956605 2018-05-01 17:24:16 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_prikhodko/rkd9mklohtsl/wish/256956605 1326702755 https://padlet.com/maria_prikhodko/rkd9mklohtsl/wish/256992786 This time I will be focusing on the photography of languages existing in the architectures. In order to further research into my research question concerning Chinatown’s popularity, this time I will be focusing on the photography of languages existing in the architectures. This is a lot simple than annotating. Begin with Chinatown Square, I took a picture of every noticeable street signs without thinking, sometimes I also took pictures for symbolic sculpture such as the Animals of Year.
