Cambridge @ Friday, Singapore @ Sunday

New England 2010 – Retrospection
When I arrived at Blue’s more than 3 weeks ago, Blue asked if this was my first time to the United States. When I shared that I was in San Francisco last year, she jokingly remarked that Boston and Massachusetts

Niagara Falls – From the Tower
