Vietnamese Restaurant Observation

For this assignment, I decided to go to a nearby Vietnamese restaurant for the first time in my nineteen years of existence. I have never tried Vietnamese food before so it seemed like a good idea at the time because I was hungry and I wanted to try something new. When I walked in, I was greeted by a nice lade possibly in her 40s that seemed like she was from Vietnam. She was very short I would guess four feet nine inches. When I asked her if I could observe the restaurant she told me to ask the manager so I did. He was fine with me making observations. It was sort of busy, with 3 different groups of people along with the manager all eating. 2/3 of the groups seemed like they were from East Asian countries but there were also some Americans

I also noticed a woman who appeared to have Hispanic heritage bringing out food to customers. She was around five feet 4 inches. This is not only a family business as its small size (around 10 tables) may suggest. I also ordered some chicken rolls. What they used to wrap them was see through which surprised me. The chairs and tables were an off blueish green. I also saw a small tree with rocks in a large pot and a painting of cows pulling a cart in a desert near a pond. This picture reminded me of something I would see painted by a North African artist. It especially reminded me of both Libya and Egypt; countries that were once very beautiful but have had a lot of issues in recent years due to destabilization. In the last year there have been public terrorist attacks based on religion. Some of them were even posted online. Many of these terrorist attacks have been performed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. They have also recently attacked France and threatened to attack the United States of America. It seems that this restaurant is going for an earthy vibe. The brick wall was painted a brownish oranges color that goes well with the atmosphere. The manager brought out food to customers once as well.
