North by Northeast Pt. 5: Cambridge Cardigans

Feeling: sweaty
Current Love: Talk Like That (Miami Horror Remix) - The Presets

This past Saturday my fam took a road trip to Boston. It was my first time in Boston, and overall it seemed like a pretty nice place. We visited Harvard and MIT first; Nothing too impressive I suppose. Harvard's campus just had a lot of trees, old buildings, and tourists. MIT had some really unique asymmetric metal building/architectures, but its campus buildings are old and jank. (So maybe Purdue isn't that bad) Boston was quite pretty, at some areas, much to my surprise. There's a good night life, and not just the bars and clubs. We visited this square after sunset where it was filled with lots of shops, kiosks, carts, and whatnot. You don't see much of that in NY or Chicago, so it was nice.


Harvard Square. Nothing super exciting, just a lot of people.


Tourists at a Harvard building.


MIT's main building with a really big lawn.


Boston harbor area. Giant reflective pool and a museum(?).


A mall we visited. I forget the name, but it had really nice greens inside and out.


By the pier. Live Nation tent in the background.


Waiting....


wtf Live Nation.


Somehow we manage to drive by the Boston Chinatown, thus we ended up eating dinner there. Pretty good and cheap actually.


Sun setting by the harbor...and skaters.
