	chinatown (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Chinatowns were formed in the 19th century in many areas of the United States and Canada as a result of discriminatory land laws which forbade the sale of any land to Chinese or restricted the land sales to a limited geographical area and which promoted the segregation of people of different ethnicities.
		In the past, overcrowded Chinatowns in urban areas were shunned by the general non-Chinese public as ethnic ghettoes, and therefore seen as places of vice and cultural insularism where "unassimilable foreigners" congregated.
		Chinatown grocers and markets are often characterized by sidewalk vegetable and fruit stalls – a quintessential image of Chinatowns – and also sell a variety of grocery items imported from East Asia (chiefly Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea) and Southeast Asia (principally Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia).

	ASIA IN NEW YORK CITY : Interview
		But Chinatown, by far, is still one of the most attractive places for tourists to have a cultural experience.
		London's Chinatown is very interesting, but I don't think it is as dynamic, because very few people live in London's Chinatown, as compared to Chinatown here.
		The reason why Chinatown in San Francisco and Chinatown in New York are so unique is because a lot of people actually live right here, so you have a lot of local people shopping.

		Skilled investigators like Pat McCarthy of the Chicago Police Department are constantly on the trail of Asian gangbangers, but their task is never an easy one because of the mobility of the criminals they deal with.

	Bird's nests in Asia are a seriously big business affair - theage.com.au
		One of Asia's greatest culinary delicacies is a licence to print money, if you are lucky enough to be displaced from your home by a bird.
		They are not made of twigs and debris like most birds' nests but largely of congealed saliva that is produced by two large lobed salivary glands under the birds' tongues.
		That may be partly because complying with quarantine restrictions is expensive, and legally imported nests must compete in the market with illegally imported and cheaper nests.
