Instead of staying in China, she moved to New York City as an actress-model. "I was clueless when I arrived," she recalls. "The cultural shock--even the toothpaste tasted different! My desire to go to the States was so vague, yet so strong. It's like going to heaven: you don't plan what happens after you enter." Chen quickly learned what Westerners expected of an Asian...
Alika King, 20, always gets Carl's Jr. French fries with ranch dressing and a large Dr Pepper at the Fashion Square mall. That stuff about those "old" movies being filmed at the Galleria doesn't impress her. "They filmed part of Clueless and Buffy the Vampire Slayer here at this mall," King points...
