assignment2 brewster brewster

for the 2nd assignment i was asked to visit a korean buffet that i coincidently wanted to go to for a while, named wanggalbi in korean but picnic garden in english. in order to get there i had to take the 7 train and venture out to flushing, queens.. one of the hardest places for typical brooklynites to explore. eventhoug i was going to an unknown area.. i had a slight idea of what it would be like, primarly because i knew that since i was going to a korean buffet it would most likely be in an asian area (which then led me to think it would be some what similar to chinatown) and because ive been to china town.. i expected it to be crowded, with lots of buildings, small shops, corner stores in addition to being congenial within its self but still cut off and isolated from everywhere else. but as soon as i left the train station, i found myself in a whirl of confusion as i adjusted myself to the crowds of people shuffling back and forth on that cold and dark friday evening. now im not sure if it was due to the time, or day.. but queens was very alive to my surprise.. even though i was expecting it to be crowded, the efficentcy, momentum, and lights was way more than i imagined it to be...and even though the majority of residents where koreans, there was still the presence of other ethnic groups though mainly spanish.as my buddy (n.Mcbain) and i drew closer to our destination, the noise died down and busyness began to fade.. it became more residental and private.. while small business still lined the out skirts of these homes.. somewhere in the midst of all of this i found wanggalbi....after experiencing all of this jane jacons cities as an ecosystem proncipal (handed in class) seem to be exactly what was playing out before me. the beauty of how buildings(ranging to mom and pop grocery stores to verizon branches) came to life by making a community thrive through business and move with the efficency that it did.
