next back to US, boston - the economic and cultural center of the region. even with its prominent role in the American Revolution, the british kind of culture very much remained and this strong sense of cultural identity is also perhaps the result of its pioneer european inhabitants and its intellectual reputation.

long ride...i think 4-5 hours but not the worst. and we reached there just for dinner at this atas chinese restaurant. the pple in our tour group still say they first time see pple take pictures of food instead of pple...err...but it's common wat...anyway they also copy us in the end..CIMG5440  CIMG5446
