Journeys and discoveries

Mardi 3 août 2010 à 22:43

 I did a lot of stuff recently. I went to Salt Lake City, Boston, and between the two, I was going out in Chicago.

I’m kinda lazy now and I don’t feel like describing what happened in Salt Lake City or Chicago. However, I’ll talk a bit about my stay in Boston.

We left last Friday, around 9 in the morning.

A Serbian student hosted us during the whole week end. We actually didn’t know him before leaving to Boston. We had two options for our stay: hostel or “couch surfing”. The hostel was not that cheap so Jonas contacted 5 persons who could potentially host us for free (the principle of couch surfing).

Se we ended up meeting Alek, who quickly became more than a stranger who was about to host us. We spent a lot of time with him and he gave us a lot of his time to make us visit.

On Friday afternoon, before meeting with Alek, we went to Harvard. It was nice, even though I had expected more fancy buildings.

Friday night was kinda crazy: I don’t know exactly what the others did because we lost each other many times. I know that I’ve been to three different places. I remember taking three cabs. I remember walking a lot, and talking to different persons in different places. Actually I’m not that confused about this night but the details are not important.

On Saturday, we spent our day walking with Alek. He made us visit Boston, and I thank him for that.

For lunch, we ate in a restaurant at Chinatown. It was a good occasion to try a lot of different foods!

Then Alek left and we decided to take a look to MIT, where the greatest minds in the world gather.

On Saturday night we went out again, but we were tired so we went back home early.

On Sunday, Jonas and I went on a “Duck Tour”: we were riding amphibious vehicles around the city. The “captain” was a disco king (dressed up) and he made a lot of good jokes and relevant comments about the history of the city. We finished in the water.

Then, we went to the museum of Science. It was nice. Lots of buttons to push.

Some things were really fascinating.

The day after, we just went shopping, and then we took off around 7 pm.

Now here I am, in Chicago, back to iit!
