Today I went to Chinatown. I've been there earlier, but I haven't examined the area thoroughly before. I went there with one of my friends who studies Japanese (and therefore is able to read Chinese characters somewhat well). We went into several traditional Chinese stores, as well as a Buddhist Temple. We then ate at a nice Chinese restaurant. I liked it.
It's interesting that when I was in the restaurant, the waitress asked us (after she gave us water), "Do you want some soda, beer?". I was a little surprised - we're still not 21, but it seems that we can order beer in this restaurant. But I didn't drink - in general I don't like to drink during the day...it's much better in the evenings or at night.
By the way, the party last night was great. This evening I will probably meet with my friends and see the movie "Righteous Kill". Then if I have time, I might meet with one of the girls that I saw at the party.
