Day 3 Christmas Day
Harvard tour by Grace's friend and his African friend. Harvard looks very scholarly, like an school with long long history. But cos it was cloudy and there's no students around on Christmas, the place feels very dead. Harvard is huge, but that's because it has so many professional schools, med, law, business, govt, grad..

John Harvard, the fake one.

Can't remember what this is. A church I think.

Our tour guides

After Harvard we wanted to go see Harvard square, the area of shops and restaurants right next to Harvard, but no one's open and I was dying for fruits, so Chris brought me to a supermarket near our dorm. While walking there, I took a look at MIT.

MIT's latest addition. Looks like something from Disney or Universal Studios. Very creative, not sure how functional it is though.

MIT's obsessed with nos. Buildings are numbered instead of named, people refer to their courses using nos. too. MIT has their own bank (i'm jealous!! I want a credit card!) and own nuclear powerplant (erps). MIT doesn't look or feel like a school, more like factories or research institutes, feel very cold to me..

Day 4
Went Museum of Science in the rainy day. Fascinating museum, very educational. Watched the optical illusion show, went in tried very hard to be tricked, and wow-ed when we're really tricked. How interesting. But it's really a good show. Museums are meant to be visited when there's a lot of time, and it's really tiring to visit a museum. After that, met up with the rest accidentally at Quincy Market at dinner, then went to the frat house again. Watched Indiana Jones till really late and got driven home again.

Day 5
Spent the day at Harvard Square, looking for food and reading and looking at expensive Harvard merchandise. Walked back to MIT from Harvard, quite a long walk, but quite interesting looking at the change of atmosphere from Harvard square to central square and then to Kendall. People love to hang out on the streets, just stand there and do nothing. Aren't they cold?

Day 6
Went New York.

We do less things every day. First day quite chiong, then less things done every day.. Same with NYC too.
