1. M.I.T and Harvard Jan 10, 2005
   © Jian Shuo Wang. Big electronic motors in M.I.T. Museum This is exactly the M.I.T spirit in my imagination. M.I.T is so different from Harvard and very similiar with SJTU (Shanghai Jiaotong University). I also like the magazine of MIT - The Tech. This campus magazine has 20 pages per issue and shares point-of-view from politics to campus happenings. Impressive! © Jian Shuo Wang. Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Library. View from the Harvard Book Store. Harvard is a place...
2. I am in Shanghai Dec 30, 2004
   Finally, I returned to my home in Shanghai. The excitement and expection for a long journey I have when I started in Dec 6 lasted for two weeks and gradually turned into homesick day by day afterward and became tireness mixed with excitement at last. I am happy to return to the starting point of the journey (which is also the ending point), companied with great stories, sweet memories and interesting pictures. It is 7:39 PM in Shanghai while the...

4. It Snows in Washington D.C! Dec 20, 2004
   Snowing Washington It is snowing in Washington D.C. When we got out of the Smithsonian Station of the Blue Line Metro and went to the National Art Gallery East Building (designed by I.M.Pei), it started to rain. When we finished our tour to the National Art Gallery, it was still raining but mixed with snow. Very soon, it was completely snowing. How exciting! This is the first snow I saw in America and it is also the first snow after...
5. I am in Washington, D.C Dec 18, 2004
   To my surprise, the price of hotel in Boston drops significantly in the weekdays than weekends. So we modified the route a little bit and chose to come to Washington D.C. during the weekend. I am in Hotel Washington, in Washington D.C. now. As always, to find sometime to sit down and write is not easy. We took greyhound here. It took 4 and half hours. I am planning to leave for Boston on Dec 20 and go back to...
6. Chicago is Amazing Dec 13, 2004
   I toured in Chicago one day. My friend Irfan was very kind to drive to me to downtown Chicago with his nice Benz car (I really like the seat heater on his car) and show me along the Lake Michigan. There are large parks along the waterfront. Some people were jagging there along the lake. The city and the nature mix perfectly. I don't like the wind from the lake though. Sears The first stop is the Sears Tower. I...
7. Hello Chicago Dec 12, 2004
   I am in Chicago now, the greatest in the world. The temperature here is lower than in Seattle, but it is not raining. I missed the sunny Seattle (only the last day when I left it) immediately when I am in Chicago. I fell in love with Chicago equally soon. I will start with the Michegon Ave. and the Chicago River tomorrow....
8. Boston for Dummies and More. Nov 18, 2004
   Boston for Dummies is a nice book. I brought it with me these days and really enjoyed reading it. It helped me a lot to plan the Boston trip and also helped Boston to keep two visitors stay in their city one day longer. I only planned to visit Harvard and MIT before. Now, I know much more than that, such as the Freedom Trail and the Big Dig. It inspired me of being a For Dummies series writer. How...
