Ren’s first and second day at Boston

Note: I will be writing what I did on both days like I did it on one day for simplicity.

First of all, we went to MIT which was pretty decent. I got this really nice hoodie with the MIT logo. It looks way more futuristic than the other Ivy League logos. We then went to this very weird looking building called Stata Center. It was not like a normal one, it was like a one that you would see in a cartoon show. I still really liked it though. There was also, apparently, a robot in a room, but I didn’t know what it was and what experiment it was for.

After taking a look at the Stata Center, we walked 1 mile to the Great Dome which is the MIT main building.

Overall MIT was pretty interesting but I got a little tired after walking like 2 miles.

Then we went to have some lunch. We had lobster rolls; lobster rolls are like hot dogs but the dogs are lobsters. I would have liked it but the atmosphere at the place was not very good so eating the lobster made me feel sick.

Following lunch, we drove to TD Garden which was really boring and disappointing, mostly because I’m not a fan of the team. We wasted 16 dollars for the parking fee because we were only there for about 10 minutes. Hopefully MSG is better. Here’s one single picture, by the way.

We then went to Harvard and visited this beautiful church-like building called the Memorial Hall. Here is one picture from the side of the church-like building.

We also went to the University Hall and saw this Statue of John Harvard. It was under renovation so there were wooden sticks holding up on the sides but the place still looked pretty nice.

To end the day off we went to the Harvard Library but unfortunately, we weren’t allowed to go in because we didn’t have Harvard IDs. The outside design looked decent though.

That’s it for today! Tomorrow we will be driving to Yale University and to New York City. Stay tuned for round two!
