List of Important Facts about the Chinatown and Downtown San Francisco.

San Francisco's China Town located in downtown San Francisco is the oldest and largest china town in the United States,the district occupies approximately 30 city blocks.

This China Town began forming when Hong Kong Chinese immigrants from the working-class began arriving in large numbers around the 1960s. Despite their status and professional qualifications in Hong Kong, many took low-paying employment in restaurants and garment factories in Chinatown because of limited English.

Now a days, San Francisco's China town is known for many things from its famous gate at the intersection

of Grant and Bush streets, for

being filled with restaurants, bars,

nightclubs and specialty stores

selling gifts, fabrics, ceramics and

Chinese herbs, among other things,

making it one of the most popular

tourist attractions in San Francisco.

List of Important Facts about the San Francisco's History.

In San Francisco the mint began to build in 1854 because nearby there were mining areas where what was mined was gold and silver, and it occupied a place nearby to convert metal into coins. The branch was in operation for about 20 years. In 1874 they made a larger facility that we now know as the old mint were in business for 63 years and it was the only location that could produce the Morgan Silver Dollar.

In 1906 it struck one of the most tragic earthquakes in San Francisco history and the most disastrous in terms of the economy. The old mint was a fundamental factor in the recovery of the San Francisco economy since no other bank was in good condition to do its job.

The old mint

served as a means of

aid to which other

states sent their support.

In these I have taken the time to share more time with family and friends, I also took the time to make some decoration details for my bedroom and to prepare food dishes and desserts.

During these last days, I have spent my time at home with my family, trying to organize the things and tasks that I want to

finish, I have been looking for movies where architecture

is appreciated so that I can take advantage of time and

have ideas for our next project.I have already started the

tasks that will be delivered until returning from vacation,

I have seen several videos to do it. I also visited my

grandparents and my nieces. I have been playing

different card gameswith my family and I have also

played online with my friends.

In this quarantine I have dedicates my time

organizing my room and perform the

homework that have been left us. Also I

have helped my niece do some of her

kindergarten activities.

Over the past week in quarantine, I have kept busy by doing several chores around the house, and homework, and I've been able to reduce my TBR pile (which stand for "to be read") by reading a lot of books which I love to do but don't have much time to during the semester, my current read is Illuminae by Amie Kaufman which I'm really enjoying so far.

I've also gotten around to doing other

activities such as baking, I made

cinnamon rolls on Saturday, and for

being my first time making them they

turned out really good.
