Day 2 continued..

After dim sum, went on the Freedom Trail with the whole gang of people, about 10 of us, cos it's free, haha, and we're poor students. Got a good glimpse of Boston's history.

Boston commons. Some people protesting silently.

Massachusettes State House

Granary Burying Ground in Park Street Church where John Hancock and the dad of Benjamin Franklin is buried.. or that's what I remembered, correct me if I'm wrong.

Quincy Market. Very touristy area, lots of shops and food, looks beautiful at night.

A busker, hitting jazz rhythms on upturned pails. Very professional.

Went to Boon Leong's frat house after the trail. Frat house is huge. It's really a big mansion. But I'm surprised that the frat people share rooms, as in 2 people share a bedroom and a study room. I would have just taken a room and make it into my bedroom and study room. Guess the other way's more sociable. Something which I need to work on. It's Christmas eve and nothing's open, so we ended up ordering McDonald's. What a Christmasy Christmas eve.. Anyway, played some floating bridge. Miss the game.. Met this Cambridge, as in Cambridge, uk, guy Matthew in the frat house, and he's an extremely good weiqi player. Tried learning weiqi, but brain's too tired to learn. Ended up playing trivial pursuit, ok, that's not an entirely brainless game, but we were not playing it seriously, just asking each other random questions from the pile. Real funny cos the question setters give extremely obvious hints at times and when they ask for a country, it's always Japan. Haha, called xh at my midnight and she was still sleeping.. piggie..
