Introduction
Among the hustle and bustle of city life in MegaTokyo, a small region of the Chinese culture is alive and well. Chinatwo, MegaTokyo-style, encompasses a small portion of Yokohama, But, don't let its physical size fool you. It is rich in sights, smells, and sounds of things that are distinctively Chinese. Visit the numerous restaurants (gourmet and fastfood), antique shops, clothing stores, produce stands, and street vendors that will easily satisfy your itch for that which is Chinese. But, don't let the spirit of the neighborhood cloud your senses. It is still part of a city, and the slums surrounding Chinatown do not help curb crime and disorder that occasionally filters into the streets. Enjoy yourself, but be careful.
