Photographs near UC Berkeley (June)

If Mao Tze Tong were alive today, I can't possibly imagine what he would say if he saw two giant mouse ears on the back of his head. These pictures feature the cross cultural identity of the Chinese American people living in Berkeley. I took these pictures along Telegraph Ave in June just before coming back to Singapore and I was intrigued at the all-so-American tongue in cheek humour which placed it at odds with the very respectful, conservative nature of the Chinese culture.
