13th-14th July 2010 – Boston getaway
like i said, i didn’t sleep. we left the place at about 5am. took 2 hours train ride to new york, grabbed breakfast at some convenient shop.
and off we went on our long ride. i’m not sure if we had wifi on our trip there but on our bus trip back we had wifi. we took bolt bus if i’m not wrong. purchased it the night before. the bus was rather full. anyway, including the hostel and the bus to and from new york, it cost $60.75 per person. we went in a group of 4.
first stop was to harvard. i kind of expected more, but; everything from the films and movies are really overrated.
the famous.. steps? somehow i think real students don’t sit on the steps. LOL.
the good thing about free and easy is you get all the time to take pictures; especially when there are lesser people. the tour i went was madness. 40mins or less for each place =/
however, the co-op was super nice.
however, the feeling of being in boston is really pleasant. i don’t know why. it just had this very nice feeling.
there were alot of people busking.
we went to this burger place our friend recommended. you can’t get lost with google maps on iPhone! many places have free wifi!
root beer!
oh wells.
awesome food.
obviously not mine 
omg i’m hungry.
more buildings!
pretty chairs. imagine they put it in NUS. it would be too hot to even sit outside. HAHA.
after that we went to our hostel; fernway hostel. it was a really nice place. it’s a real hostel for students of boston university. we had a 3 bedded room for 2 people.
forgot to take photos of the room but it was really spacious. a toilet inside each room (3beds) and your bed will be on top, ur desk will be below.
not forgetting my favourite,
after that, we went to boston park. didn’t stay long though.
most parks have fountains! as a.. landmark to meet people? ha!
omg we saw this inside the park!
i like this photo alot!
random cinema.
our next stop was by request of our fellow friend who wishes to visit TD garden. the venue for alot of NBA matches. and so we took a train there.
just for this sign.
everything inside was closed.. lol. but there was my fav machine.
i have no idea how much money i spent on such pennies but i even bought a book to display the pennies. hee.
after the dismay from the place, we headead to quincy market. we were told that you can just eat samples and get full. however we were really late and most shops were closing and didn’t bother giving us samples. but it was shopping! at quincy market.
went over to victoria secrets and grab my 6 for $30 =D it was the state with the lowest tax!
we had dinner at cheers, a famous place featuring some drama. lol.
we didn’t eat much.
after that we decided to see the city skyline so we walked one big round back to the mrt station, got out and realised that we took the train in the direction form the place we were before. zomg. but it was cold and damp since it rained. we took photos at some random bridge.
my cam sucks at night mode.
went back after that. took a shower and stayed up late playing crappy card games. haha. it’s been a long while since i played those stupid card games. can’t recall what time we slept that night.
i managed to do 4 layers!
14th July 2010
the next morning, we went for breakfast at a random bistro. i always make food looks better than it taste. ha.
we walked over to fernway stadium for the stadium tour. it cost $12. my first time entering a baseball stadium. first time even bothering to know more about baseball. i bought myself a baseball kitchen in taiwan to make myself remember that i was ever once interested in baseball. LOL. and i hang it on my pencilcase, pretending that i’m so baseball freak when i still don’t understand the game.
hi my friend.
this tour is really popular.
somehow the place looks really really really impressive!
anyway, i really don’t get this advertisement =/
after that, we decided to go for the sameul adams brewery tour. crap. i’m not 21. my hand couldn’t get stamped and i couldn’t drink the free beer. but guess what? they gave me root beer. LOL!
no one there bothered about the explanation, they were only there for free beer. anyway, we met some asians there and they turned out to be taiwanese! lol! the world is small i guess.
after that we went to the museum of science. it didn’t exactly interest me but the, give and take.
my camera went flat.
but i had the toy camera!
it was very messy after that. one friend left the camera at the penny machine in museum of science. went back but it was gone, left our contacts there and everything but guess no one returned. after that we were really late for our bus ride back to new york. omg we ran and ran and ran and ran and ran. omg, it was like non-stop running from the train terminal to the bus terminal. if we were to miss the bus can really cry but in the end we managed to catch the bus! it was a crazy experience =/
after that, it was another 4 hours back to new york.
went to f21 for shopping! bought my shades (the one that is my profile pic ) and macs for dinner (cause we needed their toilet) ha! and after that it was a 2 hour train ride back to point pleasant beach. and that ended this 2 day getaway which was, really tiring but enjoyable i guess.
