If you'd like to visit a beautiful picturesque place try capitola California. It is near the Monterey Bay aquarium. It is postcard perfect. Although I have not been there in many many years. I still consider it my favorite place on Earth. Just for its beauty!

I like the Mission district neighborhood as it burst will people, different cultures and working people . I should try Guatamelan dishes. Maybe you can do a part 2, 3 4, with other migrants stories . In the 1930's Filipinos are the one discriminated . Filipinos are not allowed to enter in the restaurant . (Filipino in WatsonVille) During that time, the Filipinos are the farm workers with little salary( Delano Farm workers with Larry Itlong). Daly City and Union cities are home of most Filipinos. So what is happening in Ohio it happened with Filipinos, Japanese, Chinese and Latino's migrants. People always blame the people of color.

I wish they had more free time to do fun things.

Wow, it must have been so difficult for them to leave their loved ones behind. Big respect to them for respecting our laws and going through the legal immigration process.

Always respect the hustle from Mexican and Latinos ❤

At least these guys work and don’t want to live off the government like Venezuelans.
