Boston Trip - Day 1

It had been a week a came back from Boston. Due to the sucky internet connection and a little bit of laziness, I wasn't able to upload these photos:

DAY 1
Day 1 in Boston. After having experience of last trip to Boston, we manage to cover more places in this trip.


We found a city tour package in Quicy Market, with each of us USD33 for two days transport. However, this transport limited us to 4pm of that day. Thus, we also got a 7 days pass using the MBTA subways and buses.
Using the city tour trolley, we came to our 1st stop, which is the USS Constitution Museum. This is Americans' oldest commissioned ship which has now retired, and only bought to sea 7 times in a year.

Funny way to vote har?
Next stop is Fenway Park. In US, 3 sports are the most popular here. Basketball, baseball and ice hockey. Fenway Park serves as the stadium for RedSox team to home their baseball game in the league. We joined a guided tour, although i am not a baseball fan, i was enjoyed by how crazy some people can be over this sports game.

Next stop, is Harvard University. Yes, you didn't see wrongly, it is Harvard, one of the top university in the world. Harvard University in a place call Cambridge. So next time, when people tell you that Harvard is in Cambridge, he is right. It was rather tricky when we reach Harvard though. Trying to find the main gate for the university, it turns out that a small tiny door, which is not easily noticeable that IT IS THE MAIN GATE FOR THIS TOP UNIVERSITY. However, in the school campus, you will find Sir Harvard Statue in it. The buildings in the university are grand and I was impressed with the amazing building architecture and craft work of it. It had around 370 years of history!! Especially, the library which is big and beutiful, which is also the world largest acedemic library.

That night, we had our dinner back in Chinatown, where we found our beloved Malaysian cuisine.
Curry Ayam with rice!!! But not as good as expected
