Flushing has recently taken off as a Chinese neighborhood, with a large population of Taiwan immigrants. Just the Chinese shop signs sprouting everywhere along the streets would be enough to cheer up homesick Chinese visitors here, while a meal of oyster noodles and the sound of Taiwanese dialect would do the rest.
原來法拉盛是個新興華人社區，住有很多台灣的移民，約佔當地居民的百分之卅，光是滿街的中文招牌，就足以令來此解鄉愁者痊癒大半，再吃吃蚵仔麵線、聽聽鄉音，思鄉病又消幾分。
