i don't live there, but my dad's company is there. what i can tell you is there is a good stretch of el camino, from about wolfe to maybe san thomas, that is considered to be a 'korea-town'. lots of korean shops, markets, restraunts, etc. what is interesting is recently that area has been infested with indians. completely infested. i don't mean to imply anything, i'm just offering whatever i know about santa clara - which isn't much... :dunno:
i will ask a friend that grew up there when i run into him. i know there are definately areas to avoid, where some of his friends break into cars and shit... not good
