San Fran

The San Fran is a San Francisco hotel, which is on Clay Street. When Leon moves out of Mah’s apartment, he takes a room at the San Fran. Leon lived at the San Fran in the same room prior to marrying Mah when he was a fisherman. The girls’ grandfather, Granpa Leong, also spent the last days of his life at the hotel, so Leila considers it a special place for the family.

Portsmouth Square

Portsmouth Square is a park where Leon and his friends, whom Leila refers to as “other old men” hang out to play games.

The Universal

The Universal is Leila’s favorite café because it is similar to an old-style soda shop with booths, marble-topped tables and stools at the counter with red cushions.

Baby Store

The Baby Store is the business Mah and Leon own.
