new york city has been known as a melting pot, where people from all places stayed in one place and mixed their original cultures to their so-called 'new home'. if you drive around in downtown manhattan, you'll see the picture. where chinatown is door-to-door with little italy, in between the financial district and the hippest place in town, soHo.

if you look closely at the picture above, all signs are in chinese characters, even the people in it are asians. not even a caucasian or the so-called bule is in it. makes you wonder if this was taken in new york city or in one of the asian cities. if i didn't tell you that this was indeed taken in one part of downtown new york city, you couldn't tell, could you?
