Research into a Asian populated area

Longsight is an area that I took a look into because it has alot of asian shops and Longsight market has many different asian stalls selling different types of asian material and accessories. I think this was a good way to take a look at the different people that came to the market and also have alook at the variety of stalls that sell pakistani things the market almost reminded me of my trip to pakistan and walking in the streets of the bazaar.
