What's Up Seop?

<<22 December 2009>>

What is the BEST university in the world? Harvard.

What is the BEST engineering college in the world? M.I.T. (sorry my Illini)

Where are these located? Boston

Yes. One of the reasons of travelling to Boston was to see these colleges. After being at the bar until their last call (2:00), we walk up at 6:00 and left the house at 7:00.

Got to M.I.T. first. It was SO COLD!! Cold for an Illni even. The university is located too close to the river!! The wind was piercing through my coat and my skin and my bones.

The river is FROZEN

The buildings had some of the most renowned scientists' names. I recall seeing Newton, Faraday, Pasteur and etc.

Before going to M.I.T., I had heard that they dormitories stand out! I was getting frustrated because I could not find them. But, from far, I could sense some oddness in the atmosphere and there it was.

Wouldn't all freshmen want to live here??

After seeing this building, I lost my interest in M.I.T. tour. So, we head to Harvard. We were a bit hungry, so had a footlong subway each, then started the Harvard tour.

<Science Building - Most crowded building in Harvard University (supposedly)>

<Harvard has an oriental building as well>

<Library - Where the Harvard-heads operate>

<Future Yoons are going to Harvard!!>

There is a myth that by touching Harvard's left toe (which was shining like gold) ensures your children going to Harvard)

If you are into beers, you indeed have heard of Samuel Adams. It is regional to Boston, but is sold world wide. They have a free tour where you get to learn how beer is made, and have free beer!!

I gave 98% failure probability in passing the age test with our modified photocopies of our passports.

On the way to the brewery, we came across some weird creatures.

These creatures were created with some electric chords and random household stuff.

Finally, we got to the brewery.

We were lucky. We happened to end up on the 2%. They accepted our photocopies as valid identification.

With my hands refusing to use the index and the middle finger, we formed a glorious star with "You passed our 21 or above test" stamp on our hands.

<Green is the hop, the others are different kinds of barley, which I learnt are two of four main ingredients of making beer - other two being yeast and water>

<One step closer to free beer>

<FREE BEER>
