so… after having mastered the T and realising I did not know what lay above it, I ventured out on a walk. I went with my roommate to South Station, as she was going home for the weekend, and from there I began..
I walked through Chinatown-which to me is a fascinating place, though the one here (as I found out) is kind of small, in comparison to others I have been to in the US! None the less it had its own atmosphere. the direction led me through the Boston Common, and on to Quincy Market (on the way to which I found the cutest souvenir shop) but when getting to the Market I stumbled upon the beginning of a show of the funniest street performers I had ever seen: a guy from England and his sister, doing acrobatic tricks in between jokes, it cheered me up to listen to his British humour which I am so used to, and I was glad about how many people out of the audience enjoyed him immensely, even though he told us: “only some of you will understand all of my jokes”. He did back flips and made the crowd applaud him in order to attract an even bigger crowd, he got everyone involved, and everyone found him charming.
I then walked back to Boston Common-where the squirells keep amazing me. One thing I realized as I stood and watched them, was that I do not want to become one of those people for whom the squirells are so normal, they barely notice them at all anymore!
My trip then led me onto the famous Newbury street. Only then did it dawn on me that I was getting tired, so at Copley Square I climbed down the stairs back to my familiar T to take me back to campus..
