For the second day, it's kinda my last day here as my bus departed in the early morning the next day. As I am typing this blog, all the museums in Boston and NBA matches are closed down due to the awful COVID-19. So glad that I went there a week earlier or else I would have missed everything.
Second Day: Harvard University 👉🏻Freedom Trail👉🏻TD Garden (NBA)🏀
Harvard University
Another top university in Boston, MA. It's a pity that I didn't really get to enter the enormous library. It's not really big that I didn't spend a lot of time there. People usually visit the Harvard Museum of Natural History and the Arts Museums, while I only went to the later one. You will have to pay to visit the Museum of Natural History and the admission includes your visit to the Peabody Museum. Again, as a student you're free for admission in the Arts Museums. I wouldn't say that they have a great number of exhibitions but they do have remarkable pieces from ancient coins to paintings and Buddha statues. The museum itself is an art too.
Harvard University, Cambridge, MA
Freedom Trail
OMG it's gonna be a long part. I give up for now.
TD Garden
The highlight of this trip -- NBA! Boston Celtics as one of the top teams is not to be missed. Before the game started, I was so stupid that I kept my backpack with me which is not allowed into the arena. I had to stored it at a bar across the street for $10 (Oh my money).
I was sitting at the balcony as I purchased the ticket late (as well as the tight budget I had). It was so so so different from the college games I've watched at school! It might be a bit weird to watch it alone but everyone was so into it. They screamed, cheered, booed, danced... I am not a big fan but now I know a lot about the team: #bleedgreen, Let's go Celtics, all the clapping beats, 0 Tatum (gosh, many boys are his fans). It's sad that they lost to Oklahoma City Thunder by 104:105 but it was so fun.
A footage of the game~
It was intense.
A footage of audience dance battle. LMAO I like the two men. If it were in HK, no body would have danced at that age.
Remarks
As I am finishing this blog, it's bad that NBA for this season is badly hit by COVID-19. I am more than lucky to have at least experienced an NBA game (yet Boston is probably the only big city I have visited for this exchange). It is unfortunate that some NBA players, especially those from Jazz are infected. I wish everything comes to an end ASAP and I would definitely return to the country and finish what I have started.
