After a busy Monday with presentations and tests and stuff like that, I met with my road trip friend M and we went to see J in Boston by car. We left later than we expected because of the traffic that M had to go through when he came to pick me up in Montreal. We also took a break in Burlington, so we arrived to Boston around 11 P.M. J's parents were lovely and they welcomed us very warmly. I hadn't seen J for nearly 2 years. We were together in Korea but had lost touch for a little while... but it's great to see her again.
Tuesday, J showed us her university (Boston Univ.) and then M and I went around downtown to do some sightseeing. Boston downtown is very clean and beautiful. It didn't feel like such a big city.. The atmosphere was quite similar to that of Montreal and the people were quite nice! Everywhere we went, we saw Quebecois people wearing the Habs shirt because the same night the Montreal Canadiens were playing the Boston Bruins.
Of course, M, J and I got tickets for the game. Montreal 4 - Boston 1. It was quite exciting though, especially when we were surrounded by Boston fans... A completely different atmosphere from the arena in Montreal... But since we got pretty good seats for cheap, it was a really good experience.
J's parents took us out for dinner. They don't speak much English but they are sooo warm. I was very touched by their kindness. They would ask many questions through Jenna and they tried to say words in English, so M and I tried to say some stuff in Cantonese.
"M goi, hoho shik". (Thank you, it was a great meal). It's a language I'll never master even if I tried to, but it's amazing how with little words you can communicate so much.
Here's a pic of J, me and M at the hockey game:
