Boston and New York

New York, regarded as the world center, and known as the place where you can realize your dream and ambition. People come here, holding the expectation to be extraordinary. Here is the desire to pursue the sparkling opportunities just like the Spanish longing for the golden trail.

Each glass window reflects the opposing office buildings, decorating the city into a giant Jungle made of the concrete. Every inch of the land here was rationalized perfectly; the streets are named by numbers, the park used to relax is settled in the central. The efficiency is the first concern here.   

This photo was taken near Times Square. Everywhere was filled with the Advertisement. The people were in the costume of famous cartoon characters. They came, tightly held you, seemed willing to pose for photograph with you.

What you could not imagine was that under these smiling cute cartoon masks, were such greedy bloodless faces. They grasped you and asked you for money, 10 dollars for one shot. 

But, in that city you can still find so many spiritual events such as the operas on Broadway, the museums and libraries.

NYC is such a place that contains what you appreciate but also makes you feel sick of.

However, Boston is totally different from NYC. It's my favorite city, quite calm and peaceful. This is the city surrounded by the vast sea, with the mew gulls flying. The edge of the sea seemed to be connected with the sky. I could hardly use the words to describe how beautiful it was.

The wider road and the classic architecture which all make the difference. For me, It was a combination of the modern and an 18th century European city.   How wonderful life was when I was in Boston! 

And here, in Boston, you can find so many talented people though they are buskers. It's interesting that such a phenomenon would never happen in NYC, because I think everyone in NYC including a vistor seems so busy, and we wouldn't even spend a second on such a "common" performance. On the contrary, Boston has a slower pace than NYC's which allows us to enjoy every moment with these interesting people. 

"Drumming"

I love every inch of land in Boston, since it's the very place for people to settle down and enjoy themselves instead of rushing every moment to gain a so-called "meaningful life."
