Scene and heard

I don’t feel lost when I go a couple of blocks from the office now and am venturing slightly farther afield during my lunch breaks. On Friday, I went with Matt, who is an Intern 4 months younger than Sean, and a friend of his, to Wagamama. It is one of my favourite restaurants in London, which I first discovered in Dublin. Boston has the only two locations in the United States. They have priced it similarly to London. Over there, the prices are considered very reasonable. Over here, they seem a little steep! But the food is so delicious that it was a treat for me – a taste and feel of home.

The feel of Boston is just so much more relaxed than New York, and there aren’t the walls around people that can feel so impenetrable in New York, even though the people there are certainly considerably more friendly than some outsiders would have you believe.

Quincy really does seem like a place you go home to. Few people walk. There’s an area with some shops and a really nice feel three long blocks from where I’m staying, but where I am it is all quiet blocks of middle class housing.

I have noticed that there are a far larger percentage of College Students wherever I go than in New York. I have seen more text books opened on trains and buses these last two weeks in any year in the Big Apple. Definitely different. Definitely a lovely place. But I still really appreciated being home for he weekend.
