Whale Watching @ Boston

Boston Common
The Boston Common is a central public park right in the heart of the city, and is one of America’s oldest parks at 376 years of age. This park is prominently mentioned in many visitor materials as a must-see. The
MIT – Out of the World Buildings
MIT isn’t a small University. There are 10,000 students on campus – but what’s very different is that there are more postgraduate than undergraduate students of about 3:2 ratio. Compared to NTU whose ratio is 2:5, and I’m thinking that
MIT
The center I’ve been working from for the last three works is MIT’s Media Lab Complex, a futuristic looking glass-paned building that almost directly faces Charles River, Prudential Center and the Boston skyline. I didn’t do a lot of exploration

Niagara Falls – Maid of the Mist
Well, that’s another item checked off the “to do list” in my visit to Massachusetts. Just about every person who visits Niagara Falls take the Maid of the Mist boat ride, as there’s really no other way to experience the

Knight and Day
Knight and Day (2010) – AMC Loews Harvard Square. No American experience is complete also without catching a film at the local theatre. There’s been movie trailers running of Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz’s new action-comedy for a month or
