Boston again


testing the waters, Cape Cod


with Prof Muhammad and Kak Ani at Cape Cod


at Quincy Market, Boston

We were stranded for long hours yesterday and missed a day of Boston (arrived 10 pm instead of 3 pm) cos' after boarding Delta for almost 2 hours, the pilot announced that they had to cancel the flight but reasons were not given but some of us found out it's becos' his co-pilot didn't have the required papers to fly.Oh my! So this is America!

We had to fly via DC and got in Boston at 10 pm (I have said this, huh?)Holiday Inn isn't as nice as Hilton but we were happy to have a place to sleep.It was a long day.Penat nak mampos.

On second day in Boston, we terpaksa pulun habis.Z wants to visit Harvard.Nik wants to see its Business Sch.I nak pi shopping. :)Prof M and wife will meet us in a bit.

I took them to Quincy Market pagi2 buta tu.They had nice artistic stuffs here.Kita pun borong.

We then took a Harvard (pronounced Hahvahd) tour by Harvard undergrads.It was fun and Z liked it.One of the guides said when students are tense during their exam week (esp in winter) they'd run screaming and naked in the garden with some 5,000 people watching (and videotaping!) Gila betul. :)

Prof M, Kak Ani took us to Wrentham after a trip to Cape Cod (I had swordfish for lunch after failing to get the yummy2 blue fish.Swordfish is ikan todak.Sedap juga dimasak ala Italian) Then we got home very late...had dinner at Kak Ani's (first time daging bakar and kicap bercili in months! Wough, we also had kurma daging, masak pedas salmon, etc.)

Took the train back to Andrew Station to get to our hotel just before 12 midnight.
Besoknya nak naik bas Cina ke NYC (at USD15 when others are charging at USD30)But Prof kata kekadang dia terbalik sebab laju sangat.
