Today, we go to Chinatown to visit some historic and culture sites. My task is to take a speech in front of Park Street Church. In fact, I should prepare this speech. I am so sorry about that I forget it before Friday. In the morning, I open my computer and search it. Very nice. I find the information. This building is near Boston Common. The street of the church was named Park Street. See the picture below the graph.

There is a kind of free English class. On Tuesday morning, you can bring your passport to the church. The staff will register for you. Then, you can take part in the classes. Because of English level, you will be distributed to different class. These people come from a lot of different countries. There are many Chinese. Therefore, this church was named School Church.

Today is so hot, so we are very hurry to finish our trip. We went to Boston Common, Park Street Church, Granary Burying Ground, Boston Latin School, and many other places.

By the way, Harrison is very cute. Next, I want to show some cute picture of him.

When I am free, I will get online in renren.com which is like facebook. In this web, I made many new friends. Some people have the same experiment with me. I am very happy to chat with them. Today, I learn a guy. From his picture, he is not very thin. Actually, he is a little fat boy. (When I say he is a fat boy, he will go crazy.) He is a student of University of Utah. Right, he is in the same university with me. He told me many things about the university of Utah and Salt Lake City. He comes from Wuhan, China. I come from Changsha, China. Wuhan is near Changsha. I feel very amiable to meet him.

Oh my god. I really want to say this blog is too hard to control. It is not very easy to move the picture in this area. I really want to give it up. Despite this, I have to do it. Now, I think my blog’s name does not suit me. This thing for me is not like sky. The Blog is clouded over. Maybe I should enhance my computer skills. Anyway, i need work harder.

where is my sky? i have been searching so long……

I like trip. Every trip, I like it. Today, my classmates and me follow sweat Liz to John F. Kennedy’s Presidential Library Museum. This building is very special in my eyes. Someone think this museum has a little bit empty. However, I think empty is the museum’s characteristic. The building includes 2 colors basically, which is white and black. I watch the documentary about John F. Kennedy. Unfortunately, because I am so tired yesterday that I fall asleep during this period. I am guilty about that. I am so sorry to cute Kennedy. This museum is to tell us Kennedy’s lifetime. I know he is a brilliant person. By the way, information absorbs me, that is this great museum was designed by Bei Yu Ming. He comes from China. He is very amazing. In U.S. history, Bei was called "the most outstanding architect”. In 1983, he received the Pritzker Prize. I am so proud of him.

This afternoon, we have physic class. Physic is so hard. In my opinion, Chinese students should have the good education basic; however, I am confused in this class. I need do more exercise. Unhappy!

Today is so tired. I have many classes. In 7:30, I get up. According to my schedule, I have no time to eat dinner. Fortunately, nice teacher finished the class ahead of schedule. Great! Therefore, I get time to eat meal. In the afternoon, I learned macroeconomics with Ronald Rivas. I am very happy following him. He is a funny professor and he like an actor. He always acted some story to us for amusing the class. We laughed in his class. I am so tired today, but I am very happy. By the way, I find a secret from my heart, which is I like macroeconomics.

Today is awesome. I like this course, which is Exploring America. In this class, I can enjoy the American life. I can relax and see the beautiful thing around me rather than worry about the grade of this course.

First of all, I saw a poster of pipa near the entrance to the MFA. (Pipa is a kind of traditional instrument and another name of pipa is stringed Chinese lute)

Then, turning right, I saw many instruments. I was so excited because I witnessed the traditional pipa of China. I have studied pipa for 5 years. Pipa is one of my favorite instruments. I cannot imagine I can see it in America. From this, I know classical things are international things. I am very happy about this. So happy~

This trip, my favorite exhibit is a picture. It is very simple, but I like it. The name of this exhibit is Weed against Sky. This picture is created by Harry Callahan. He used a special technique of drawing to interpret a weed’s story. In internet, I see other comments. Someone said that: “Here, he has used high-contrast printing to eliminate middle tones, and thus some details, in order to emphasize the starkly elegant calligraphy of the weed.” I agree with the opinion.

Next, I saw many exhibits from other countries before I saw Chinese exhibits, for example: India, Japan, Pakistan, America, Nigeria, and Vietnam. I started to worry if there were any antiques of China. Finally, I saw the Chinese exhibit. Meanwhile, my feeling was very strange. On the one hand, I was very happy that I can see Chinese exhibits here. On another hand, I get depressed because these Chinese antiques appear in foreign museum unexpectedly. I do not know how foreign muesums get these exhibits. Moreover, I think of a horrible history of China, which is Eight-Power Allied forces to invade China in 1900. Many countries robbed Chinese treasure. I think some of these exhibitions might be robbed from China.

I love every exhibition of this museum because they have their own characteristic and they stand for a kind of culture.
