for the first assignment , i couldnt picture doing it alone so i went to South street seaport with my friend W.Chen. together we sat around and observed people in and outside of the boardwalk.one thing i did notice was that the people there tend to be more friend oriented. they were more open adn not as alooft as they would be on the train. My guess is mainly because at south street sea port people are either shopping as a past time, hanging out, i even spotted high schoolers there after school literally running around and chasing each other. So in an area so filled with ease, theres no sense of rush or efficency, instead people like baby sitters take kids in strollers and sit on the bench to pass time. though there were couples there, i didnt get a feel of romance but more like comradry between them as they joked around and giggled with each other. even the workers there seemed idle, some were even reading news papers, eating lunch, and two workers in particular were dancing to the store music and just seemed to be hanging out. what i saw at the sea port was very much different from what i expected to see especially with valentines day around the corner. i anticiipated couples holding hands and being imensed in one another but even they were very playful in ther attitude towards one another.from adults to teens today i learned that south street seaport is typically the perfect place to shoot the breeze.
