A 8-hour trip in Boson

I decided to take a short trip to Boston because I had missed it during my internship period two years ago and I always wanted to visit Boston for various reasons.

I took the Greyhound bus from Port Authority Bus Terminal at 12:30am and arrived at South Station at 4:30am - a 4-hour journey was not that bad at all!

Upon my arrival, I went to have my favourite MC Donald Breakfast at the South Station - MC Griddle meal, just a pan-cake wrapped sandwich...so yummy!

Then, I began my 7 hour time in Boston.... I walked along the beautiful harbour and enjoyed the scenary from both sides....

I took the subway to Park Street and walked to the famous park - Boston Common and Public Garden.... it was just like the Central Park in NYC.... I then headed to the Trinity Church in Back Bay.... this reminded me all the different church in Europe...

From Back Bay, I took subway to Cambridge and of course, one of the most important sightseeing spot - the world famous Harvard University.... it was such a big campus.... you could see all the schools are spread out around the area... and I love the Harvard Yard a lot...

The Coop at Harvard was my favourite place to get souvenirs - bought a few t-shirts as part of my collections...

Two stops away from Harvard and I arrived at the MIT.... another prestigious school in the world.... Two great schools in one city - how amazing is that....

Leaving from MIT, I travelled back into town and took a short walk at the Freedom Trail... it was great to look at the histroical side of the city....

Before I got on board to the bus again, I had a wonderful lunch at the Quincy Market - a lobster roll and clam chower.... these were what they are famaous for in Boston....

4 hours from NYC to boston.... and 8 hours in Boston.... finally 4 hours back to NYC.... what a nice experience!

Happy 24th Birthday

Took a day off from work today and enjoyed my birthday with a group of friends....

First, I went to Disneyland to get my birthday pin and got back to Central right away...

Met Judy in Central and we went to have a full breakfast at the Flying Pan...

We ordered Eggs Florentine (with bacon and spinach) and Eggs Norwegian (smoked salmon)....very yummy!!

Then, we walked down to the Central ferry pier and took the ferry to TST... and finally arrived at the HK Bowling City at Emax... the venue was so nicely decorated... much better than the one in Olympian City... we played 3 games... and it was so much fun!!

After that, we went back to where we started - Central.... JoJo, Grace, Echo and Kim joined us the dinner at Ivan the Kozak - this was the first time we tried Russian food... We had Borsh soup, Seabass, Lamb stick, spring chicken and duck breast.... very great and made us feel so full!

The owner of the restaurant was very friendly - he invited us to the Fringe and had a shot of vodka there... it looked like as if we were in Russia.....

Thank you so much for all of you - love you all!
