Some of the elderly has leg problems which means their leg will pain when they are doing some activities included a daily exercise, walking. We had chosen a place to observe the elderly, what they are doing in the chinatown, mostly the elderly like to talk with friends sit somewhere to rest and also like to shop. After they shop, they will carry those carrier and some elderly they need to carry these heavy stuff back to their home. Survey is also one of the primary sources,  a survey is to know about more about the thought of the elderly and problems. There are two interviews that we had done with two different aged elderly live in different area. Secondary sources are from books, internet, magazines, newspaper and journal.
