ETHNIC STREETS IN THE WORLD

・Cabramatta is located 25km west of central Sydney. South east Asian
　immigrants, especially Chinese and Vietnamese, immigrated there during the
　Vietnam War and developed a residential street during the 1980's.

・Unusually, the authorities designed an area development plan that included a
　Chinatown, which is rather unique, given that Chinatowns are gerenally
　formed more organically.

・The shopping street runs along John Street, which is surrounded 2 car parks
　that are located to the east and to the west of Park Road.

・This is very characteristic of ethnic shopping streets in Australia, which have
　developed in a car-oriented society.

・This area has been regarded as dangerous in the past. Recently, however, it
　has become popular for Australians to wander through the ethnic restaurants
　and cheap food shops.
