Boston (?)

Before stopping to City of Boston, there is a city to stop by called Cambridge. This place is famous for two universities: Harvard University and MIT.

Harvard University

Harvard University's Main Gate 

Inside Harvard University's Area

This is the famous Harvard University. In my opinion, if it was not for John Harvard’s statue, I might just think of this place as a normal place because… I guess its because the students are having a holiday.

Statue of John Harvard

This statue is John Harvard’s statue. From what I got from the tour leader, he was the person that funded on building Harvard University, which was called Newtowne University before. Notice that his shoe was… Shining gold I might call it? It seems like it was the result of millions of people touching them.

MIT

MIT, the building close to a bridge that leads to Boston 

Next is MIT. Well, its huge. Too bad that I did not gain too much information about this place as again, the tour member’s had no enthusiasm to look around, not to mention that the research facilities was said to be a bit far as it is further away than the nearest intersection. There is a chance where a picture of the research facilities can be taken, but the bus’ windows were all wet and sadly, no picture of it.

[Inner voice: Come on! It’s MIT, people! Please, if anyone happens to be there, I really recommend on finding out more about MIT and their research facilities. It's a rare chance! (Unless if you live there)]

Sculpture of The Alchemist

*Clears throat* Anyway, forget my complaints. Across the building, there is an artwork or sculpture named The Alchemist that is made by stainless steel and white enamel pain, or so the sign says. It was mentioned by the tour leader that the artwork is made of numbers and signs, but I am not exactly sure if it includes all the signs used in calculations or not.

Due to the hard rain along the way to Boston, the tour ended right here as we arrived way later than expected. It was planned that the tour will see Freedom Trail and Quincy Market, but… yeah. So, that’s the end of the whole tour.

Oh wait, there is an extra. Its Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, a place for shoppers~ Will be posting an extra for this~
