(AP) - Chinatown Beacon Center Director Ben Wong, right, shakes hands with program participant, Victor Chan, 19, as they pass each other in Chinatown, San Francisco, June 19, 2006. Wong and Chan agreed they became close through the program, saying it helped Chan through hard times with his family and school. Chan earned his G.E.D. recently and plans to join the Navy. Chinese-American teens in San Francisco have a complicated relationship with their Chinatown, the biggest of the nation's many Chinatowns. It's a place of comfort and familiarity. But the noise, crowds and smells wafting from open air produce stands can seem old-fashioned to a generation hooked on iPods and YouTube, and chaotic compared to the suburbs where some now live.
