On the way to the game, we found out that this was the first game for Daisuke Matsuzaka “Dice-K”, their record high $103 million dollar pitcher.
When he got on the pitching mount, the whole stadium was blinking with camera flashes.
I was still a little chilly to be sitting outside for 3hrs so the fans were not as wild as they can be.
I wasn’t too interested in the game but I really liked Fenway Park, there is so much history in this building and even though it is not the most efficient, it certainly has character.
I didn’t end up watching the game, I wandered everywhere. People were thinking I am Japanese so they smiled and nodded when I walked by..haha
Success! I sneaked around the security guard and got into the clubhouse dining area, then the security guard asked me politely whether I am done taking photographs. :)
Tried to drive through downtown Boston during rush hour. On the map it seemed fairly direct, until I realized that 80% of the roads are one-way streets. There is 1 rule: Don’t get hit.
3 weeks left in the term…I am serious this entire term seems shorter than the 2 exam weeks!
So Allison sent me an email asking me to help her out and photograph some of her friends as they gather at her house to attend a formal party.
Well I showed up at her house and then she informed me that there will be 60 ladies as well as their dates! I was starting to wonder whether I brought enough memory cards with me…
To make matters worse, the basement was about 6.5ft tall so it was very dim.
Remember trying to get 20 guys to take a team picture? Well multiply that by 3 and replace them with very excited girls!
Overall, I was very pleased with the results and it was fun to meet all these people and try to navigate through the crowded basement.
Saturday morning, Ryan and I went to the Boston Regional FIRST Robotics Competition. It was pretty interesting but I think this year the robots are not as robust as the ones from previous years.
There was a lot of team spirit and
I went to the Museum of Fine Arts in the afternoon and it has some really amazing exhibits. I had to rush through it because I probably won’t have time to go back and I wanted to see all the different exhibits. They had a vast collection of Egyptian artefacts and that was really interesting. It was amazing that different cultures have such different ways to represent things and the amount of detail that goes into each piece of work.
The Orange T-train was being serviced so I took the opportunity to explore places where I would usually be kicked out.
I love desserted buildings/trains, they are full of surprises and mysteries. I was scared someone might be living there….
Turned out the interior is very well preserved (from the weather, not teenagers). It was getting late so I didn’t want to linger there for too long.
