Choosing Canada's Oldest Chinatown was an easy decision for me because of the historical value it holds and the personal connection I have to it. My mom owns Fan Tan Home and Style a store in Chinatown that has been there for 45 years. This strip downtown has such beautiful features.

https://www.ted.com/talks/sherry_turkle_alone_together#t-1165898 I think Sherry Turkle made valid points towards our relationship with technology leaving us isolated. Her comments about people using technology in inappropriate circumstances like funerals, boardrooms and at dinners is a perfect example of being present physically but not mentally. We are putting ourselves at a mental distance to those who surround us, as we escape into our phones for distraction from life. If we have an honest conversation with each other about extensive technology use, it could result in our society finding a healthy balance between quality time with ourselves and those who surround us.

On a personal level, when I think of Legally Blonde I think of my mom and my the countless times we indulged ourselves in the greatness that is Elle Woods. This movie is a great movie to discuss the social concept about girls being more than their looks and what they can amount to. 17 years after the original release, Legally Blonde 3 has been announced, and I could not be more ecstatic.
