Since emigrating to Orange County four months ago, Jampa Kahdup has been both haunted and heartened by the question most frequently asked about his homeland: "Where is Tibet?" While most seek only the general location of this little-known place, the question is a stark reminder to Kahdup of Tibet's precarious fate under 40 years of Communist Chinese domination that he fears is wiping out what little remains of the mountainous region's national identity.

For 55-year-old Martie Myers, the main attraction was a chance to sample all the different kinds of food. For 12-year-old Edie Tiscareno, it was trying his hand at the carnival games and enjoying the rides.

If you are willing to forgo the standardized opening and closing times offered by malls, neighborhood shopping can be fun, leisurely and productive.
