Smells and Sounds of San Francisco

I was doing my errands today in Little Chinatown and saw an older women and her father walking and looking at the shops. As I stopped at the ATM I heard her say the best line to her father:

"Let's go over to the other side of the street. It smells too Asian here."

I'm not really sure what Asian smells like but it's apparently not all that good since she wanted to go to the other side of the street to get away from it. So if I ever smell too Asian, please let me know.
