The Shopaholic returns
Its my fourth week in USA and I have bought so much stuff that its unbelievable! Well, I came one big bag and will be going home with 2 big bags. Samsonite was having sale, I just could not resist the lovely blue bag. Haha.
One of my colleague had her friend from Singapore visiting her. Over dinner she was listing the places she wanted to visit in Boston. That was when I realised that all I had visited in Boston were Chinatown, Newbury Street and Washington Street. For those of you who have never been to Boston, well, Newbury Street and Washington Street are where most of the shopping in Boston is. Every weekend, I have been going to Boston but its always to shop and eat. Other than that, I have not seen much of Boston.
Of course I have been doing other stuff besides shopping. I went whale watching at Cape Cod, got lost driving to Salem and ate lots of seafood! Eating is something I have been doing alot of too. Asian food is quite easily available so I am not really missing that. The portions here are HUGE and everything comes in SUPER size in the supermarkets. I have been sharing food with my colleagues to avoid eating too much.
I am proud to annouce that I have been driving myself to work each morning for the past one and half week. Roads are much wider here and parking spaces are wider so in a way, it is easier to drive here. There have been incidents of course. I got very lost in Boston and on the freeway the last week and I had no GPS. That was damn scary man. But, Thank God, I managed to drive myself back to the hotel safely.
I have taken quite abit of photos but I have been too lazy to transfer them from my camera to laptop so the photos have to wait. I have another one and a half weeks more here, then its Tokyo and finally home. I do not think I am really homesick yet but I am glad that I will be going home soon.
