First Week Favorites

One on my favorite activities this week was called “Man on the Street” which we walk up to random people and asked them varoious questions. I enjoyed this activity because there was alot of tourists from different places . We could tell they were tourist because they took pictures of everything. Some people came from China and Beligium. The locals and tourist that we interviewed were very friendly and nice people. One of my favorite groups of people to interview was Eyle and Dries who were from Belgium. It was hard to understand them because of their accents but they were really nice interesting people. I really didnt like the fact that there were so many people but they all seem busy or unapproachable. It was really frustrating finding someone we could talk to. Me and my partner found really good people though.

Another good thing about Man on the street is the questons and converations we had. We asked about their hobbies, jobs and dreams. Some said swimming, shopping, even walking their dogs, however, my favorite person to interview was a woman named Jennefier Robinson who went to law school to become a lawyer. She persued her dream to be a lawyer but quite to dedicate her life to volunteering and she is opening up a non-profit organization called Events with a Purpose. Her organization raises money through events to help with animal abuse, the homeless and children in need.

One really fun thing about man on the street was the picture taking. Because we were in Love Park, the fountain was a awesome backround for pictures also the flowers and grass made it seem natural. Also, i really enjoyed the city backround as well. Another thing is i liked the way the light fell on peoples faces eventhough people kept posing, it was very funny. We also noticed we were not the only ones taking pictures, though we ran into some other students we saw that almost everyone had a camera! We began to feel like tourist too.
