Boston in My Eyes

by gmanxue - last update: Oct 6, 2003

The most European American City

Downtown crossing
Boston mixes everything together. You may see the churches established in 16C on this side of the street, and the skyscrapters on the other side of the street. As the most European American city, Boston has a fruitful history, meanwhile, it is modern, commercialized and fashionable.

The Compus City

Comparing with other cities of US, Boston is a city full of history. Free trail, Trinity Church, Beacon Hill, Quincy Market... every of them is attractive to the tourists. Of course, the most famous are Harvard and MIT.
I guess maybe Boston has the youngest average age of local people. Every fall, you may see lots of young faces come here, begin their studies, meanwhile, the graduates leave here and catch their dream. So although Boston is an old city of US, it is full of energy.
It is amazing that my school locates in such a quiet street. I like this street in the fall gloaming, small, elegant and charming. When the students gather in the street, it suddenly becomes energetic. Although it is not as famous as Harvard or MIT, it do have its own speciality.
Boston has many such kind of streets, telling you some history, and giving a future prospect.
