Boston / Providence
YQ was in Northhampton (2hrs from Boston) for work in early July, so I conveniently tagged along. Was very lucky that Xh was also free, so I had fun company, before YQ joined us for the last few days in NYC.
This is the scientology museum.. think Tom Cruise
Boston is also known as the college town. Many well-known colleges/universities are in Boston, and we did a tour of Harvard, MIT...
.. and Berklee. Lee Hom once studied here too, haha! I can imagine Xh rolling her eyes.. We went for a guided tour (OK, I dragged Xh there actually) where we saw the music studios and the practice rooms. Inspiring and abit envious.. if only I can study in a music school one day! It is a must for all students in the school to use Mac, I must try out Garageband someday..
Also tried out some of the yummy foods in town..
My cousin and cousin-in-law hosted us in Boston, and even treated us to an Italian dinner!
Main attraction is a very long river running thru town. If u notice carefully, there are fixtures in the middle of the river all along the way. On certain Sats of the month, there will be fireworks from these fixtures. A pretty sight, I imagine.. too bad we din get to see it.

Boston is a very small place, we finished touring within 3 days, so we took an hour's train ride to Providence.

Erh, actually we din have much interest touring the sights in Providence, partly coz it was sweltering hot.. and mainly coz we discovered a huge shopping centre! But then, we thought it will be so loser to come all the way here only to end up in a shopping centre , so we dragged ourselves to walk ard in an attempt to justify our train ticket, ha.
Post NYC pictures up when I finish my assignment, hee hee.
