Magical Moments at Reading Pagoda, Pennsylvania! šÆāØ
āšøāØ Capturing the Beauty of Reading Pagoda, Pennsylvania!ā
I usually spend my vacation leaves in Tokyo or Osaka hunting for anime merchandise, but I decided to do a quick 8-day run of the US East Coast recently. Flew out from Cebu. If you are planning a multi-city trip covering New York, Philly, and Boston, here is a straightforward evaluation of what is actually worth your time and what you can skip. Ā· *New York City** Ā· **The Edge & Hudson Yards:** Overpriced just for a view. If youāve seen skylines in Tokyo or Singapore, this is pretty average. Ā· **Central Park & Bryant Park:** Central Park is decent for a morning walk to clear your head. Bryant Park's winter market was alright, but extremely crowded and the food was overpriced. Ā· **The Met (Metropolitan Museum of Art):** This one is actually worth it. It is massive, so wear proper walking shoes. The rebuilt Egyptian temple inside is the highlight. Ā· *Philadelphia** Ā· **Penn Museum (UPenn):** As someone who prefers structured, historical exhibits, this was a solid stop. Excellent collection of global artifacts, much quieter and easier to appreciate than the museums in NYC. Ā· **Independence Hall:** Standard historical landmark. Good if you like history, skip if you don't care about US heritage. Ā· *Boston & Area** Ā· **MIT & West Point:** Visited the campuses. MIT was interesting from an engineering perspective, though it's ultimately just a campus. West Point has a very rigid, military atmosphereādecent but nothing spectacular. Ā· **New England Aquarium:** Skip this. It is quite basic. You can find much better aquariums in Japan or elsewhere in Asia. Ā· **Quincy Market:** Basically a tourist trap food court. The clam chowder was okay, but nothing to write home about. Ā· *A few practical tips:** 1. **Data:** Do not rely on international roaming. Buy a local US eSIM before you fly out. Itās cheaper and more reliable. 2. **Payment:** Everyone says the US is cashless, but keep some USD cash on hand. Some smaller vendors and transport services still prefer cash. 3. **Gear:** You will easily log 15,000 to 20,000 steps a day. Do not try to look fashionable; wear solid, supportive walking shoes. Bring a light windbreaker if you are going in October as the wind gets quite cold in Boston.
