When I arrived in New York<\/strong> to start my internship program, I felt completely lost here. Didn’t know what to do first. Should I create a bank account? Or should I get a phone number first? Or go get my social security number?… Thankfully, I’ve remembered about a friend from high school in Brazil<\/strong> that came to the US<\/strong> for college. She came all the way from Boston to New York to help me in my first week here, so I felt in debt with her to go visit Boston someday.<\/p>\n I decided to go to Boston<\/strong> this last weekend, during Hallowee<\/strong>n, so I could both get to know the city and also experience such a cultural event with a friend. Before my arrival, my friend had described Boston<\/strong> as \u201cit’s just like New York<\/strong>, but smaller, older and everything is made out of bricks<\/em>“. Definitely not a wise choice of words to describe this city! As soon as I arrived, I felt like I was in one of those country towns with a very pleasant atmosphere and a very uniform architecture.<\/p>\n In my first day there, my friend worked as my tourist guide, crossing all Boston<\/strong> and Cambridge<\/strong> by foot (actually, I only realized that Cambridge was a different city on my way back to NY<\/strong>). I was impressed how small of a city Boston<\/strong> is. As it’s one of the most famous cities in the US<\/strong>, I wasn’t expecting to be able to visit every corner of the city in just 1 day (by foot).<\/p>\n By the end of the first day, we went out for a walk on Downtown to enjoy the Halloween<\/strong>. As my first time ever being in the US during Halloween, I wasn’t expecting for the population to be so engaged into it. I’ve seen hundreds of different costumes, lots of them borderline professional cosplays.<\/p>\n In my second day, I didn’t have as much time, as my bus back to N<\/strong>Y was scheduled for the afternoon. So I decided to do a gastronomic tour<\/em> around the city. All this day can be put in a nutshell as my friend bringing me to her favorite places to eat. It’s not everyday I have 2 breakfasts and 3 lunches.<\/p>\nFirst day<\/h3>\n
