There was not a lot of people until 9am at my site, but across the street, there is a breakfast store and it was almost full. I found that especially elders, they like to look around and to see that what is selling in every store. There are also lots of visitors. People seems busy, so i had a hard time to do my interview, when I try to speak to them, they ignore me and just walk away. A lot of people who lives here do not speak English, but Cantonese. So it is also very hard to communicate.
