People came to me and gave me help, which made my new life in Boston much easier, so right here I’d like to say thank you, all my friends. Thank you John for pick up me at the airport and provide me soooo many help, not to mention you drive me around looking for a temp accommodation and congratulations for you just have a baby, I will pray for him, hope he will be to health and smart. And thank you Rain for providing me a place to live in and your laptop, which is of great importance for me right now. I hope my own laptop will able to arrive within 2 weeks. There were so many people helped me, someone I can recall your name, someone I can’t, anyway, I’d like to say thank you all you guys. And now here is a brief introduction about my life in America and my first impression about here. Due to the unknown reason my fight had been delayed for about 4 hours and I spent 10+ hours at SFO international airport, which made my trip rather tired (you can never sleep well on the plane), thankfully there had been a girl went with me, who is also a NU student, which made my trip not that boring. My whole plan had been changed, and my hostel order had expired. What made things even worse, I called John and got the message that he can’t pick up us next morning (our fight expect to land at 7:00 AM in Boston). You can’t imagine how helpless I was when I sat on the SFO airport waiting bay, which is almost empty, just looking at sun rise and sun set through big glass window. Thankfully John showed up at the Boston airport and helped me out, my luggage is much too heavy for me that I had no idea what to do with it, and I swear I will never take so many things next time. With help of John, I found a new hostel with better condition and location and after that I participated school orientation; got my bank account and my mobile phone so everything went on smoothly, except there had been a little problem about my apartment. I decided to live with my classmate at first, which is in Roxbury the black guys’ area. It is said that this place is not very safe for students (robbery happens), so we can’t reach an agreement, I had no alternative but to find another place. I am now live in Malden, a sub city of Boston. It will take 30M for me to get to campus and the conditions are better than previous one, the price is cheaper, and also there is a mall nearby. So it is OK for me. Now I am trying to cook by myself, I cooked chicken wings and other dishes yesterday and it seemed not that hard for me to be a good chef. : ) BTW, it is incredible clean here, the rumor is true… and air is clean and everything you saw is clean so you don’t need to wish your shoes at all. The transportation, I mean the subway in particular, is not as modernized as that of Beijing, but still very developed. You can easily find a seat if you don’t go out during rush hours. As for my major and my classmate, there are so many Indian guys there and I can’t understand what they are talking about, especially when they are speaking fast, FUCK. The software industries is full of Indians, after a discussion with Rain, we reach out a conclusion that if we want to do something great in this industry, we must work hard to understand Indian English… It is mid-autumn day and I was invited to Charles’ home, a Korean friend, and I did have a wonderful night. There were delicious Korean food, moon cake and I brought some green tea, and thankfully they love it. So much for this. It is too late now and maybe I will put some pictures on the site next time. I miss you guys in china or current not in china =.=, please send me mails to mailpophy@hotmail.com if you got time. Best regards. ]]>http://www.ipophy.com/default.asp?id=163<![CDATA[蝶.恋花]]>pophyhttp://www.ipophy.com/pophy@163.com2008-07-06T19:14:09+08:002008-07-06T19:14:09+08:00
