Haight-Ashbury

Haight-Ashbury is a very famous district here in the city. It is one of those pieces of American culture that has helped to define American society for over the past forty years. The best way I can describe it is to say that it is a very big Fourth Avenue in Tucson. Haight Street and the surrounding streets are packed with all kinds of businesses, catering to the counter-cultural tendency in everyone. Smoke shops, cafes, restaurants of every ethnicity, and everything else in between.

There are plenty of white men and Asian women couples in San Francisco. It is like heaven to me. Chau and I could blend in perfectly here. But I need to get some good money coming in, no matter what. If it's Chau or some other woman, it doesn't matter. I simply must get my accounting career off the ground.

I hope to be getting involved with the local Vietnamese community action center soon. I want to see if I can help or volunteer in some way. I want to network with the business owners in "Little Saigon," a section of town that has a high concentration of people of Vietnamese descent. But I also want to find someone who will be my oral tutor in the Vietnamese language.
