Bus ride

I went to Harvard Square yesterday and met up with a friend for lunch. We had really good ramen at a restaurant that had a 2 for 1 deal for Harvard students. Yay! Only thing was that the bowl was huge!! (I keep forgetting that I can't finish one portion of food in any restaurant- even asian ones) The other thing I learnt is that you can add baby spinach to noodle soups and it tastes great still. After lunch, we had bubble tea. It was the nicest bubble tea I've had and the most expensive too. Don't really want to talk about the price, I should bear in mind that they had to fly pearls in from Taiwan and that labour costs here are much higher... but it still doesn't seem to justify the cost for me.

Well, talking about costs, look at the parking rates here at Prudential tower. Prudential Tower can be compared to Raffles City, I guess but parking at US$9 per hour!! I think I'm going to stop complaining about parking costs back home...
The view the Charles River was taken from my bus seat on the way home. Yep, I've figured out how to take a bus and where to get off. It's actually much faster taking a bus to Harvard Square compared with the subway. That's because the subway is arranged radially, with all routes emerging from downtown, so to get to Harvard Square, the subway travels like the sides of a right angled triangle while the bus takes the hypotenuse. (I learnt these trigo stuff while studying for my GRE.. I'm not smarter that a 5th grader)
