You can see their smile through the windscreens.
Arriving at U-Dub, I saw students from all around the world. It was easy to
distinguish between foreigners and Asians. Students there usually wear casually. A
pair of slippers, a tee and a short form their uniform because the weather there is

without cloud except two days. It was really nice!
By visiting different parts of Seattle, I found that there are very few Chinese in
Seattle. Although there are more Chinese in China Town, it is just a small number
when compared with China Town in San Francisco. Also, most of the Chinese there
speak Putonghua but not Cantonese because most of them come from the Mainland
China or Taiwan. One interesting thing is that when an Asian sees another Asian,
those with brown iris, he or she would keep a look at that guy for a few minutes. It
seems that he or she are meeting an old friend.
One site of Seattle, Bellevue downtown, can be regarded as a gay centre. It is
located in the southern east of U-Dub, about 15 minutes away by bus. This is so called
because many homosexuals love to linger around the streets there. They can be easily
distinguished out. Usually, a homosexual dye hair, wear black clothes with some
fancy things like a metal chain across a trouser, wear big earrings and with something
tattooed on his or her body. They looked unfriendly and we didn’t take any photo with
them.
Beggars appear after 5 pm every day. They are usually the Black. Some may
ask for money exchange, while some others may ask for money. Whenever we
encounter them, we always pretend we don’t know English. This is the safest way to
avoid trouble.
