Graduation, Chinese food and a cartoon

This week has been quite busy. But I will try and tell just the highlights.
Ok.
Thursday June 10th I had the priveledge of being the photographer for a Harvard graduate. One of my housemates graduated and got her masters degree in Statistics. She is from China and it was so hard following her around and taking pictures. Honest.

Saturday June 12 I went and had dinner at my friend Gan’s house. He and his wife cooked up a storm and we ate so much food. It was wonderful. They live in Jamaica Plain, right outside of Boston, and we ate and ate and walked around near the Franklin Park Zoo and heard all the animals. One of my friend’s classmates was there, too. Eating at their home was a lot of fun and I appreciated all their hospitality. We ate all kinds of different foods… it was great.

Sunday June 13 I awoke quite early and departed from Boston Chinatown at 7AM. I arrived in New York City at 11AM and walked around. I was there to surprise my friend Chris who is getting married at the end of June. He was en route when I called him and pretended I was not coming. I totally fooled him and then when they finally arrived with my other friends I surprised him!! He was so shocked!! WE ate lunch at the BUBBA GUMP SHRIMP CO. which is a restaurant that is all about the movie FORREST GUMP. Then we went to see the Broadway show, MOVIN’ OUT. It is a show with Billy Joel music and lyrics. Since I love Billy Joel it was fun…plus we paid for Chris (the groom). If you don’t like ballet…don’t go see this show. There was entirely too much jumping and kicking and dancing around! Personally I don’t think any of Billy Joel’s music lends itself to ballet but…apparently other people do.
Then I bought many postcards from New York City and I sent 5 of them to my friend Eric Floyd in China. COOL!!! I think he will really like them! I also drew a picture on one of them.

I bought a return ticket from New York City to Boston for the 8PM bus. I waited and waited and waited. Finally the bus came and I arrived in Boston at 1:30AM. With no subways available and too late to call for help and with only $8.00 in my pocket… I walked…all the way back home. I arrived at home, after a quick stop at 2:30AM at Krispy Kreme Donuts, at about 4AM. What a long day!!! I tried to call my friends in China…but nobody answered… oh well.
