As a cultural experience‚ I took a trip to Chinatown. Both my sister and I were adopted from China‚ and because of that‚ I have not grown up in an environment where I am surrounded by Chinese culture.

I enjoyed going to all the little shops‚ eating Chinese food‚ and practicing my Chinese by reading any label‚ sign‚ or store name I saw. I

Until around eleven years old‚ Miami was my connection to family. When my mother told me and my sister that we were going to visit Chile‚ my mother’s homeland. On the plane ride‚ I couldn’t stop moving because of my excitement. When visiting a different country‚ there are so many expectations on how the environment will be‚ the strangers to encounter‚ and the local people.

I started to scream and flail my arms about trying to fend off the nocturnal flying mammal in fear. During what seemed to be forever I was able to unlock the turnstile and exit the entry

I have been forcefully shoved in to a cattle car. The car is packed with hundreds of people. The tiny car was so tightly packed with people that there were people dying because of it. We had no food or water so that increased the death rate. We were packed in the cattle car for 2 days. The car finally came to a stop. As we exited they were yelling in a strange language and separating people from their families. looks like the crazy old man from home may have been right. Is this the horrible place
