Boston?
One of my friends is studying in Boston now, so, I had found some information concerning to Boston which I needed before I go over to visit my friend.
Boston, the capital city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the seat of Suffolk County is also the largest city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This city is located in the eastern part of the state on Boston Harbor, an inlet of Massachusetts Bay, at the mouth of the Charles River. Boston is the largest and most influential city in the six-state New England region. It was one of the earliest major U.S. cities to be settled by Europeans (1625) and the largest city in the British American colonies. The American Revolution (1775-1783) began in the Boston area.
The interesting part is that the city is scenically located along the waters of the Charles River and Boston Harbor. It has a compact, walkable city center, which is dotted with sites of historic interest dating to colonial times.
Boston has humid summers and moderately cold winters. Temperatures in January average a high of 2°C (36°F) and a low of -6°C (22°F); July temperatures average a high of 28°C (82°F) and a low of 18°C (65°F). The city averages 1,100 mm (42 in) of precipitation a year.
With many colleges and universities within the city and surrounding area, Boston has became a center of higher education and a center for medicine. The city's economy is also based on research, finance, and technology – principally biotechnology.
OK… enough of the introduction. Now, I got to check what is the Things to do in Boston!

Stark museum
Museum, can be defined as an institution dedicated to helping people understand and appreciate the natural world, the history of civilizations, and the record of humanity’s artistic, scientific, and technological achievements. Museums collect objects of scientific, aesthetic, or historical importance; care for them; and study, interpret, and exhibit them for the purposes of public education and the advancement of knowledge. There are museums in almost every major city in the world and in many smaller communities as well.
Museums offer many benefits to their visitors, their communities, and society as a whole. As educational institutions, they offer unparalleled opportunities for self-directed learning and exploration by people of diverse ages, interests, backgrounds, and abilities. They are public gathering places where visitors can be entertained, inspired, and introduced to new ideas. Museums enrich local cultural life and make communities more appealing places to live and to visit.
For society as a whole, museums provide valuable intangible benefits as sources of national, regional, and local identity. They have the singular capacity to reflect both continuity and change, to preserve and protect cultural and natural heritage while vividly illustrating the progression of the human imagination and the natural world.
Museums can be of different types. The major types of museums are art, history, natural history, and science. In certain museums, these disciplines may be combined. Within these categories there are also many specialized museums emphasizing particular topics or types of collections, such as museums of local history, music, the cultural heritage of native peoples, or maritime history.
Art museum, a building, hall, or room used for the public exhibition of art objects; often the term is interchangeable with art galary, as in the case, for example, of the Stark Museum of Art.
The Stark Museum of Art in Orange, Texas, began as a vision of H.J. Lutcher Stark and his mother, Miriam Lutcher Stark, an enthusiastic collector of art, furniture, and decorative items from around the world. Lutcher Stark developed a similar passion for collecting, with a particular interest in nature and art depicting the American West. Both Miriam and Lutcher Stark shared the desire that one day a museum in Orange, Texas, would display the works of art they collected.

Boston
Last year winter break, a group of my friends and I had gone for vacation in New York!
New York (city), the largest city in the United States, the home of the United Nations, and the center of global finance, communications, and business. New York City is unusual among cities because of its high residential density, its extraordinarily diverse population, its hundreds of tall office and apartment buildings, its thriving central business district, its extensive public transportation system, and its more than 400 distinct neighborhoods.
The city’s concert houses, museums, galleries, and theaters constitute an ensemble of cultural richness rivaled by few cities.
Things to do and must visit places in NEW York!
New York’s Top of the Rock, offers 360-degree views from open-air terraces atop Rockefeller Center. You will find the best skyline views Manhattan has to offer. See Central Park, Times Square and more!
New York Double decker bus deluxe tour is a very fun tour. We had enjoyed the best of Manhattan and Brooklyn with unlimited hop-on and off opportunities at over 50 stops for 48 hours.
At Madame Tussauds New York Wax Museum, is a museum which provides over 200 "celebrities"* line up and gave us the experience of a lifetime in the heart of Times Square New York.
We had so much fun in the New York during the vacation. This much of fun make me to have a family vacations idea.
I got to go ask helps from company Trusted Tours & Attractions and search for more information about the vacation! They provides also the newsletter which is very useful to the tourist.
Boston will be my next stop! Here I come!! Got to check about Things to do in Boston first!

Actually, we were planning to go at 8am to RED SQUARE.. around 20 minutes walk to there…but some people couldn’t wake up… so we postponed it to 9am....
when we went out..there were so many people in front of our university... so we decided not to walk to the red square and just joined the crowd there....
The road was closed… no cars passing by… there were many polices there….
A lot of flowers were on sale that day…. Why? Later on you will know…
These group of young people were all lining up to prepare for the parade later on….
The banner behind there written “With a holiday of a VICTORY”

They were still waiting… waiting for who… a few minutes later…
A group of cars arrived… I think is the VIP …… then follow by a bus…maybe bringing the people from the village…
More and more people joining the crowd… almost every one of them was carrying flowers with them….
A few minutes before the parade started… a reporter came towards us… me ran away avoiding them…
The one got caught by them was Patrick… he was interviewed by them.....
OH ya…see the black and orange stripes ribbon? Everyone was putting this on their shirt or jacket…
Don’t know what is it symbolized….we also got one from a girl who was distributing it…
At 9.30am sharp… the bands ready for the parade… Bands went off first..followed by…
A big crowd behind the bands…
Slowly walking to the destination…

This is it..the Memorial Park which they were heading to…. It is a park built for the remembrance of all the soldiers who die bravely in the war…. A very big and beautiful park…it is a good place for jogging too…
Saw these young ladies.. carrying big bunch of ‘kan nai xin’ flowers… different colors…purple and white….
Young soldiers?? Or young AIR soldiers?? Don’t know la… so many kinds of soldiers… designated by different types of the uniforms they are wearing…
So so so many people!
They were slowly approaching…
Kan nai xin flowers again.. I thought this flowers are only specially for Mother’s day?? Hmm….
The bands… marching towards in front…….
Towards here…… again… a group of soldiers was there waiting for the arriving of the parade
Another group of soldiers lining neatly besides….
The submarine soldiers? I think so… this small place was built in remembrance of the soldiers who trapped and died in the submarine years ago…heard before? I heard about this from a friend..
Another group of soldiers or polices?…
An ambulance was readied for emergency cases…
Portable speaker…
Flowers were put on the tomb
Wow! so many people !!! Which tells us how important is the VICTORY DAY for all of them!
Ok…finish spying around…. Ceremony was going to start.. Ceremony of laying down the flowers and paying their respect to the soldiers? Most probably...
2 soldiers carrying the flower garland to the front…
Followed by 3 VIP behind…
After the flower garland was set on place… VIP laying down their flowers on the memorial monument…
There were 6 flower garlands needed to be put on place ….
So many Reporters were standing in front ….
After all the flowers garlands were put on… all the troops of soldiers marching out from the place…
The crowds behind slowly moving forward to put their own flowers and pay their respect to the dead soldiers…..
This banners were put on along the road a week ago before the 9th of MAY….
Like we put on the jalur gemilang along the road during national day…
This is the list of programs on 9th of May… starting from 8.45 am until 10.00 pm at night….
We didn’t know there was an early parade at 8.45am..we all thought the parade wont start so early…
