We had lunch at Passage to India, an Indian restaurant in the heart of Boston. We were all very hungry, and I can still remember exactly what we ate: Chicken Murkni, some kind of eggplant dish, Lamb Tikka Masala, and a large bread basket full of different types of naan, poori and chapatti. Although we left very full and satisfied, it was pretty expensive for just a lunch menu.
2:00 pm
We reached our appointment at Boston University right on time after lunch, and walking around, it was a pretty nice campus. Boston University, or BU, as they abbreviated it (I referred to it as “boo”) was the first large university we visited since UPenn. They already had their orientation tours going on for the incoming freshmen, and we were able to see a little of what life might look like if we were freshmen at BU. Overall, the requirements for admissions were definitely not as rigorous as we had seen at other schools, and it seemed as if “boo” was a pretty good safety school. Again, we went to the college bookstore, but we didn’t buy anything.
Central campus. The statue of a dove made out of 50 other doves is in the center, with the school seal on the right and other campus buildings in the background.
From BU we went straight to the nearest Costco went on a shopping bonanza, buying vitamins and other things for Tua-Kim and Tua-Ku to bring back to Thailand. We also went to Target, bought more nail polish, nail clippers, and a hairbrush (mine was pretty dead), and a shoe store to buy some walking shoes. By the time we got back to town, it was pretty late.
8:00 pm
We found a good place to eat in Boston’s Chinatown, where we had chow fun, fried squid, and baby bean shoots (tow meow). It was a good price, and we all left for the hotel tired and happy after a good day of college touring and shopping.
