Goodbye Boston, Hello New York City

Written by Romain on Thursday, 25 of December 2008 at 22:28

Wednesday, 24th, 10.25 : There I am in Boston for 3 days and time is running very fast here ! My first day here was an opportunity for me to discover the downtown city, which is very full of people and animations due to christmas holidays. My first impression about Boston is that it’s not such a huge city (for example, I had the opposite feeling about Toronto) and it’s quite easy to travel within the city. A susual, I was loaded like hell (I’m now close to 25 kilos, including souvenirs and presents from Canada that I ‘ll have to send soon in France), but I’m just feeling happy here. But I must confess that the cold wind was terrible, and I’ve never felt cold like this since the beginning of my trip (except in Tadoussac, but -40°C was something that I’ll never forget !)

During the night, I met Juan, a very cool american guy originally coming from Guatemala, who host me for a night, since his flatmates flew back to Europe for Chistmas holidays (HUGE thanks to Ivan for his nice room !). And once again, many thanks to Juan for his time and his warm welcome.

I spent my second day in Boston walking inside the campus of the world famous Harvard Univerisity. I felt a real harmony inside between students, as well as a strong dynamism. But I guess that’s normal : it’s one of the world’s best universities ! You can see the pictures here. And you will enjoy them, since I had the chance to take them while the sun was going down and it was just simply beautiful.

Because Juan was leaving to New York for Christmas holidays, I had to find another place to stay. One adviced me a very cheap hostel called the Farrington Inn (located on Farrington Avenue) where it’s possible to share a room with some other people for 27,50$ a night (33$ including taxes). However, even if I found the welcome pretty warm, I had cold showers ! I finally could met some other couchsurfers in a very nice bar called Big City located on Brighton Avenue. I met Nicolas, a guy who has both french and american citizenship (and who is coming from the same city than me : Lyon), Andrew (we spoke a lot about video editing and about my trip, he was a really cool guy), but also Rosie, Chris, Adam, Dane…When I went back to the hostel, I met the guy who was sleeping just next to me, Carlos, who is coming from Spain and currently studying Law in Puerto Rico. He took few weeks to travel in the USA. For the little story, our other roomate just went out of jail (I heard a phone conversation), but I did not try to learn more about his story. To conclude about Boston, I would say that I met a lot of very interesting people (and a lot of american people who apparently love france), a first view from the States, and once again, walking, walking and walking !

15.52 : I’m writing these few lines while I’m sitting in my bus to New York City, where I’ll meet a friend of mine, Mathieu, to avoid spending Christmas alone. If ever you’re planning to do such a trip (from Boston to NewYork), a chinese company called Lucky Star offers one way tickets for 15$ (but don’t expect too much inside the bus !)
New York City, I’m coming ! Too many people too see there, and especially my familly that is visiting me for new year’s eve.

Thursday, 25th , 10.52 : I’m writing you these few lines from the Queens area in New York, where I arrived yesterday after a longer trip than expected (6h rather than 4, roads were really busy !). I was so amazed by Times Square, Ground Zero (really scary I would say…), and nice christmas’s diner in the Little Italy. More soon, I’m now going downtown too see more !
