The object person for this interview is my land lord. And his name is Andy Ho. A 40 years old Hong Kong business man lived in New York City for more than 15 years. He moved to this neighborhood with his whole family like 5 years ago from Brooklyn. When I asked why, he said that, nowadays just more and more business opportunities here found in Flushing, and more than anywhere else. People are getting richer and richer everyday in Flushing. Their demand for the quality of life is also getting higher. So there are great business opportunities for the real estate development in this whole area. And that's what he is mainly doing to make a living here. Well that's another story, back to our interview, Andy likes about this neighborhood very much, and he said it's quiet and safe, far away from the crowds. Well, since he is my landlord, I guess he just won't say anything bad about this place.=_= Anyway, the only thing he found out changed a lot are the increase of Korean retail stores and restaurants around this neighborhood. Actually the Korean Street is only a couple blocks away from where I live. So he told me it was always convenience if I want some Korean food or something like that. Andy had two cars, one for him, one for his wife, they just drive to everywhere. I am sure he thinks driving will make life much easier than take the bus in this neighborhood. As we all know, we have a pretty bad bus service around this area. The closest bus is Q12, which is two blocks from my place. If I want to get another bus, I have to walk for another 4 or 5 blocks. Andy also thinks the service of Q12 is quiet unpredictable. Sometimes you wait for 30 minutes, they will just never come. He truly felt that there are definitely problems with their bus schedules. As I already said, during most of this interview Andy is in favor for this neighborhood. He said he is very satisfied with his life here live in this place. He gave ten points for his quality of life in the scale of one to ten.
