    三藩補記——China Town

    三藩就是舊金山,San Francisco,“三藩”是音譯,國內南部的人這么叫,這里多半也都是這么叫的。針對朋友間有弱問和傻問的,我就先解釋下。
        在China Town繞的時候感覺像進了個集市,不同的是街邊店鋪替代了一個個攤位,行走的和店內的華裔看起來血統不純,大都帶著東南亞的“風情”,還有就是衛生情況較國內好點,地面不會是油膩膩的,水漬沒有濺到白襪子的危險,滿目多的還是繁體字。
        年輕人不多,多的是主婦和阿公,來這里買菜,回家繼續做變種的中國食物。中國城可以買到的東西可多,有些是在國內也很少有機會能淘到的,其實商品多帶嶺南特色,因為福建和廣東的移民數量總是占著頭兩位,與其和他們講中文還不如直接說英文來得省事。
        也沒看到過中國領地上的租界是什么樣子,站在這里反過來想一下,估計情形會差不多。走的時間長一些,或者專注一些,別太在意身邊行人的語言,的確會有到了港臺的感覺,但不會是內地的樣子。商品的價錢自然是比之本土超市的便宜,如果你去大超市轉的話,凡是看到價格稍低的東西拿起來仔細找一找,都會看到“中國制造”字樣,太介懷的人絕對會舍廉價的而求價高的,到不是說價高的quality有多少好,而是這些多半是初來乍到也不會精打細算的國人,但本人除外。
        其實全美最大的China Town不在三藩,而在Chicago。但三藩的中國人一般不愿承認這個事實,也難怪,畢竟這里的華人比例高得離譜,走在街上是滿眼黃色(shai)兒,白毛罕見,此地黑鬼本來就少,想在China Town遇見幾率更小。在灣區黑人居住率高些的城市是Oakland,這是外話。
        像所有大城市一樣,三藩也有乞丐,也有黑幫,也有乞丐頭和丐幫成員,一樣沒有天堂的樣子,想到Phil Collins的[Another Day in Paradise],但也不奇怪不憐憫,我好像沒什么同情心?
