Gloucester – Road Trip
Matt was pretty sure he’d come over from Missouri when I was in the country, but we were largely undecided as to what to do when we hooked up in Boston. We initially toyed with the idea of visiting Niagara

How to kill yourself (with food)
One thing I’ve always wondered is how Matt – our Ang Mo bud – can manage all the food he takes in, and still lose weight. Now that I get to dine with him in cuisine and food types he’s
Skywalk Observatory @ Prudential Center
The Skywalk Observatory is situated at the 50th floor of the Prudential Center, and gives visitors a magnificent 360 degree view of the city. Most of Boston and its surrounding areas is flat terrain, so you can pretty much see
Downtown – Boston Public Library & State Transportation Building
The Boston Public Library has achieved a lot of firsts: the first publicly supported library in the United States, and the first large library that was opened to the public in the country. I was especially interested to visit this
Downtown – Revisits
After several days of gloomy weather for most of last week, the Sun finally broke in all its glory on Friday onwards, and the city enjoyed great light. That’s one great thing about summers: the sun comes up as early

If I had to single out one experience so far in Boston where I simply stood in awe for several minutes before getting onto photographic work, it would the Butterfly Garden. The Garden isn’t a separate site by itself: it’s
Museum of Science, Boston
The Museum of Science was another site that was included in the Citypass admission tickets. The place is situated at Science Park along Charles River, and is just within walking distance of MIT. The Museum lies along a different train
Cambridge and Abouts – Part 2
The posts on my MIT trip here are all tagged as ‘Boston’ – but that’s really a bit of a misnomer. Because while all the attractive sites of visitation are indeed in Boston, I’m really living and working in the
Harvard Museum of Natural History
One of the five sites included in the CityPass ticket I picked up on Sunday was for admission to the Harvard Museum of Natural History. The museum was started in 1998 – relatively new – and is located near the
