Art Review of Murals in the Mission District

Today, I saw a mural in san farnsisco. It was in the Mission District. This mural showed the country of  el salvador. The mural had orange and yellow + many other colors. It was a bid mural on a wall. This mural shows about the past and the present of el salvador. The war of El salvador was not so long  ago. The mural  is to remember what happened in the war. In the artwork, you can see a lady in the present and past which i believe represents her sorrows during the war. she was same bring her past. She was in a bad condition. She had a letter in her hand from her husband that were soldiers. In the artwork, you can see some men in a bar which i believe represnts their life during the war. They were remembering their life during that war, that was different than today's life. I feel really bad when I know what this mural represents. I like this mural so much. It  was beautiful, lovely it touched my heart and made me cry.

Cultural Review of a Vietnamese Restawant in America

Today, I experienced American and Vietnamese culutur. One thing I learned about this culuture is everything is different than my culuture. They have a different language than I speak and different cloths. In this fieldtrip, I saw some things similar with my country. Americans and the Vietnamese loved their culuture a lots. We love our culuture and together and wear traditional cloths. In this fieldtrip, I saw so many things that are different and beautiful. This is defferent then my culuture because people eat different types of food and with chapsticks, speak different  langayes but somethings are the same too. The most of the things in Vietnamese and American culutures are nice and great. I like their working styel, dress and how they talk with the people. Of-course, I like this neighborhood and I wand to go visit this neighborhood again.

Street Fashion of UC Berkeley

In different places people were wearing different types of styies and colthing. It  looked kind of different  than people in Oakland. Most of the people ware  UC Berkeley T-shirt, pantd, and light colored clothes. Lots of students  ware t-shirt with the colleges logo on them. There were out fits that surprised and impressed me, like  how they wore T-shirt. I really liked the t-shirt that they were wearing, especially the UC Berkeley clothes with the college logo on them. The college students at UC B erkeley and every one was wearing the cool t-shirts which represent the college.
