Sunday

Today I got the full experience of what Sunday means in my area...The Filipina community comes out in force on Sundays' and they ALL apparently go to the "Lucky Plaza" which is very close to my hotel.  So, it seems that much of the domestic here is from the Philippines and they must work 6 days a week, because they really come out on Sundays and for some reason flock to this area.  The Lucky Plaza caters to them and have Filipino orientated grocery, staffing agencies, and money transfer/wiring stores for sending their money back home.  The tend to setup picnics on the sidewalk, but since it was raining today, they moved inside.  I was trying to print some pictures and go to the post office (yes, it's open on Sunday!!!) and those are also located in Lucky.  It was mobbed with 5 foot tall, black haired women everywhere.  It was social time: they were snapping pics, getting their hair done, eating, and just generally hanging out.  Apparently management has tried, unsuccessfully, to keep this is check with some signage, but it mostly gets ignored...
