For Part 2 of my Ethnography exercise‚ I chose to go to the Village Tavern in Carol Stream. I was with my family each time I went there. The main reason I chose to tell about my experience and observation there is that I didn’t think anybody else would choose this and my family’s interactions with the people and staff there were different each time.
