Since then...

Realised that i have not really posted pictures of my earlier days when i juz reached boston.So i have placed a preview of things that i have done here...

The top 2 pics where taken when my plane was going to boston frm detroit, and i was going to reach boston.
I stayed in the hotel called, Hotel @MIT, where it is smacked in the center of MIT campus.
NUS and NTU really cannot compare to these campus.. A whole region with shops, streets belong the the campus, the roads are patrolled by campus security, and their individual bulidings are all ard...
What is amazing abt the hotel.. is the Blanket cover...
They dun call it MIT for nothing...
Hopefully after slping in the bed, i get smart... MUHAHAHA...

Generally there are interesting things tat singapore dun have..
Interesting fact #1. You cannot dispose ur household gabage in the public dustbin. You are liable to fine USD 25 bucks if caught.
Interesting fact #2. You have to bring out the garbage on Monday night, bcos they will collect your trash on early tuesday morning. If you miss it.. U got to live with the garbage for one more wk...
Interesting fact #3. Squirrels are very cute and are feel to move abt here.. They have actually chewed my house cable, and we were nt able to access the internet...
there's a myth abt squirrels and their tails.. the bushier their tails, the colder the winter to come..
<-- so is this considered bushy? Got this baby squirrel who was busy cracking its nut... at Acadia National park..

Interesting fact #4. ( and a painful one) For every meal that you have at a resturant( there is no hawker center here.. though there are fast food) U have to tip.. basically anything that has service relasted to it, u got to tip... frm taxi, to haircut.. to bellboy...

Interesting fact #5
The sun can shine on u... and u can still feel cold...

Interesting fact #6
There is something called daylight savings which starts this wk for me. It means that i can slp later in bed... hehe.. frm my naive understanding, during summer, there is so much "day" time ( frm 400AM to 8PM) that it translate to savindgs for us..
Here it means that if i dun adjust my clock/ watch... and i go to work at 900Am, it is actually 800AM.... how it really works i got no idea.. muhaha....

These are juz some facts of living here..
