PART ONE
We planed to leave BPT bewteen 2 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. I had a very busy day. There were some problems over one of the houses, that I should had be there. But, I couldn't because it was already after 2 p.m. I went home with three girls who were looking for the house, and showed them around of my house. As soon as they left, Takeshi and I started final perparing. I called Masa and he was busy perparing stuffs for job fair. So we waited, and left BPT almost 3:30 p.m. However, everybody was hungry, so we decided stop at somewhere to eat something first. So we stopped at exit 42, and went to eat. Maybe becuase we just started out trip, we were kind of highper for nothing. Food was good, and Masa made fun of the food, which looked like pupu.
Soon after we ate, it was something after 5 p.m. It was kind of late compare the time that we planed to go. It was 2 hours late. I was worried about how late we would get in Boston 'cause of the taffic and unknown road. But, it was quite ok on the road. Since it was a Friday, not so many cars goes to North. Just some part of the high way had heavy taffic, but not that much. Masa and Tomoatsu were tired, and slept in the car. I guess they had busy night to perpare stuffs that they had to bring to Boston Job Fair, and they had Soul Beat the night before and 9:30 a.m. class on Friday. I drove kind of fast 'cause all the cars on I-91 were fast, some of the cars drove over 100, and the speed limilt was 70. Crazy. My car is not good enough to drive as fast as 100, haha, if I could, I would too. Long way of driving, it was like 3 hours. When we were getting closer to Boston, I stopped for relaxing. Takeshi and Tomoatsu needed to smoke anyway. Masa was palying around at the kid place in the rest place..haha...while Tomoatsu and Takeshi were buying coffee.
Right at we leave the rest place, only took less than one hour to get in Boston. Boston was such a moden city. We saw a lot of tall buildings, and moden style. We were talking about how it is different with NY, and felt Boston is good. It was easy way to the Hotel, but it was heavy trffaic. We had to stop for quite a while that Masa had time to go out of the car and taking some pictures. When we got the hotel, it was not too late. I guess it was around 8 p.m, no later than 9 p.m. Right after we got in hotel, Masa and Tomoatsu started to perparing for next day's stuff. Takeshi and I just relax and watch TV. It was nice that hotel had HBO and HBO 2, so we could watch free moives.
I told guys that I wanted to go to the WTC ( where the job fair at) before the next day, to make sure i know where it is, so I wouldn't get lost later. And, we could have diner in Chinatown since it is close to WTC. Guys argreed with me, and we went out around 10 p.m. It was much harder to find the WTC during the night, I couldn't see the signs on the high way so well. Lucky, we found where is the Chinatown. At least, we wouldn't be hungry. Chinatown was not too big, well, it might be bigger than we thought, but couldn't really see during the night time. We stopped at one place, and everyone was hungry. Masa, Takeshi and Tomoatsu all asked me to order, they said they don't know anything about Chinese

food. Then, I ordered some simple food, BUT, I asked them if they ever ate frog before. They were scared by what I asked. But, I ordered anyway 'cause I think they would like to try once a life time. Hahaha....it was not that bad~! They like it, they think it is not that bad, and feels like eat chicken. They ordered some beer too, not that many, but it was nice to have diner together.
Everybody is tired. After we went home, it was around 12 a.m. We had to sleep and we wanted too, for the next day's early weak up. Frist day was good, a lots of new things, lots of fun~!
