Red Sox Boston

So this is Boston. We took the $15 Chinatown bus from New York to Boston and this was a steal, considering the Grayline buses cost twice as much. Since we spoke Chinese, it was easy for us, although getting to the Chinatown bus station was not so easy. We ended up cabbing in one of those exorbitant New York taxis.


So yes, Boston. Its a small city with most of its residents studying at either Harvard, MIT, Boston U or Boston College (where my favourite survivor Elizabeth Filarski studied). Quite different from the hustle and bustle of New York and Chicago. But it was a nice change and we appreciated the slower pace of things.


But generally Boston turned out a tad bit boring for us. We even succumbed and took the Duck Tour (which incidentally, A fell asleep on). The highlight of Boston was the Chowder festival where for seven bucks, we got to taste clam chowders from 10 different restaurants and in the end, voted for Ned Divine's. We even took a drive up to Harvard and MIT and all wished we had studied harder for no other reason than the fact that the schools are gorgeous. Old buildings, iron wrought gates, stone lions - everything that an old educational institution symbolizes. I even bought my niece a real Harvard tee-shirt! She'll look so cute in one.


So Boston was just so. Wouldn't head back but happy I was there.
