I found out that there’s free admission to The Wing Luke Asian Museum on the first Thursday of the month. It helps us to save $10 bucks although that denoted that we need to sacrifice our study time for our midterm.
That’s the reason people always say that there’s no free lunch in the world. You always need to trade off something in order to obtain another. It’s all depended on how do you view your life.
Live you life!
Welcome to The Wing Luke Asian Museum
We went to the theatre of art and took a few pictures on it. Before that, I was taking picture with flash on and there’s a lady rushed by to my side claimed loudly," No FLASHHHH!”. Arghh. I know I know.
So, as you can see, the effect is not as good.
Bowls with the name of the donor’s name engraved on every single of them.

As told my lecture of my Asian American Studies – Prof. Sumida, there’s never any intimate sexual contact of an American and a Asian. Nonetheless, there’s a breakthrough in the 80s. Heated controversial among public was shown but it subdued as time goes by.
So, you can see the reason of the Museum putting up those pictures.
The ornaments to show the Japaness-ness. Haha.
Okay, I have not told you what the kind of museum is it. Well, as you can guess from the name that it’s an Asian Museum, which shows the history of how those American perceived Asian, mainly Chinese ( from China) and Japanese.
Racial and cultural stereotype is pervasive in the past. Yes, it is undeniable that the stereotypical attitude is still existed now. Yet, if you were to compare it to the past, it was far worse and beyond your imagination.
Now, let’s travel back to the history. There’s a huge number of Asian esp. Chinese and Japanese moved to California during the gold rush on the 1860s. When the gold was started to deplete, they are recruited to build the railroad. However, there’re some politician politicized that the immigration of Asian, esp Chinese and Japanese, was an hazardous to them as they caused the increase of Americans’ unemployment rate. After that, there’s an Anti-immigration Law enacted trying to restrict the immigrants from entering into America. Things got worst to Japanese in America after Pearl Habor was bombarded by the Japanese Military that those second generation ( nisei) and third Japanese American (sansei) were being forced to the concentration camp.
As you can see from the album below, there’re a lot of posters, postcards and cards that described the Chinese and Japanese. Some of them are really mean!
After that, we walked along Chinatown.
Most of the letters were in Japanese or Chinese, which were written by those American Japanese or American Chinese, to their respective countries.
Jade garden – a restaurant claimed by friends that serves yummie and cheap food!
It costs me around 5 bucks with the rice. 
This is Cheewei’s dinner.
That’s all for now. A huge kiss to my friends who are willing to kill some time reading. I appreciate it lotsX!
