My mother just gave me a box of stuff, one of the items in the box was my sprial notebook from sixth grade. Circa 1981. I had written an essay about a subway trip from Brooklyn to Manahattan and how scary it was being the only caucasian on the subway train. of course it got an A and the teacher agreed that it was a scary trip. Which is totally inappropriate, but you can listen and judge for yourself.
Ahhahahhahaa... oh wow.. as a Chinese person, I'm glad to hear you felt safe by getting off in crowded Chinatown. I wonder how that incident might have shaped your perspectives as a child versus if your first experiences might have been crowded, dirty, stinky Chinatown with things like pork offals and chicken's feet for dim-sum. Thanks for sharing, Jessica!
