Alameda Reflection

In Alameda there were Mexicans,white people,African Americans,Asians, and not that many liquor stores there were a lot of restaurants near by and there was allot of people walking and there was little trash and there was allot of police walking around in the street that made me feel better because you can count on the safety of the people not like in East Oakland the police take there 2 hours to get to a crime scene and you usually don't see the cruising in the streets because they are unorganized.So after that we went to the beach and we just kind of chilled we played football.

San Francisco-Castro District

Yesterday we went to the Castro district in San Francisco what I thought would be that part of Frisco is that it would be a big part of the gay and lesbian places. So it was full of gay people you did not see no one calling them names or other stuff. What I liked about the Castro was that no one was mean every one was nice and they did want to get interviewed like we went inside this bank and the man did do the interview not like in Oakland saying they get in trouble. Another thing is they got hella lot of restaurants and other places to buy food, there were allot of liquor stores like in Oakland in every street there were two.After that then we went to chill at this park and I played on the play structure even though I'am not a little kid no more and then I was on the swings for 10min I really liked that field trip. So after all I liked the fieldtrip i did not want to go to the trip but it was cool to go to a diffrent place that i did not know about it and were the people are nicer than the town I come from

Lakeshore & Rose Garden

My experience was that there were allot of whites and blacks few Asians and Mexicans in that pat of Oakland there was allot to see different places to eat it looked way better than the East Side of Oakland. Many people did not want to get interviewed because either they were to busy. So our group kept on asking and asking people just ignored us or we would talk to them they would just walk away from us. So after that we went to a park called the rose garden it was really nice but what i was wondering do they have a rose garden in east Oakland because i have never seen one. So i didn’t do much at the garden we just got there and i sat down because i was tired of all the walking we did. So after the visit to the rose garden we walked to the bus stop so we could all go home. So i really liked the trip to Lakeshore & Rose garden.

Old Oakland and Lake Merrit Reflection

My Experience in Old Oakland was that it was going to be deserted because the buildings are old but my perspection changed because there was a Farmers Market that is when people buy health foods.Old Oakland is located in Oakland by the Down Town area. There were allot of people that buy that healthy stuff they sell there were few people that said yes that we could interview them next there were people to say no because ethir they did not know about our topic or there were to busy with the people. So in that part allot of people go there is every single friday it is a good place to go if you need healthy stuff.So after that we wen to Lake Merrit and we went on the paddle boat and I went in the boat with juven and i was scared because i had never been on a boat so after that i saw that nothing would happen to me or him i was not scared no more it was a good experience for me to go on a boat.
