In Madrid, people call the corner stores and bazaars "chinos" ("the Chinese" in Spanish) because they are all run by Chinese migrants. Being curious about these Chinese settlers' lives, I came to Madrid and interviewed how they get used to and fit into Spanish society. Isabel took a Spanish course with me in the Spanish language school; she is a student but runs a supermarket at the same time. George is a worker in a corner store on O'Donnell Street.
