New York City!

So, as I said in the previous post I'm just planning to hang around here and basically do nothing. Today I visited Williamsburg in Brooklyn!

That area has so many vintage stores- I love it. Some of them are huge as well.
I didn't buy a lot though- You know, have that I've-been-away-for-six-months-and-now-I-have-to-bring-it-all-home -problem.
This place had dozens of type writers, it was a bit hard to resist.
I got something at least.
These shoes used to be really white back in the days.
This place had sooo many phones for sale!
I love small stores filled with old things and random junk.
Paintings.
I'll make sure to buy lots of paintings one day and fill my home with them. Not today though. Luggage and weight problems, remember?
Ugh, this store was too cute.
They also had tons of old film photographs.
.. Which was quite weird to be honest.
And old magazines. .. & Scary dolls.
Beautiful paintings. As I said before though: one day, one day.
I usually try to give the name of places that I mention, but this place was literarily too cool for a name. Not even kidding.

Brooklyn has so much good graffiti going on.
Nice indeed.
We went to several other stores as well.
This however, was all that I got.
"Escape from camp 14", which is a book about the only man in the world who has managed to escape from a North Korean concentration camp. One of my classmates mentioned it last fall, and I've been so eager to read it ever since. It's a pretty thin book, so I'll probably finish it off before even boarding my plane back home (with other words, I strongly recommend reading it.)

I also got two vinyl tracks, mostly for their aesthetics, and a vintage brooch and a top.
And this is how I looked today.
 
Peace out!

Last Friday Night..

Last Friday night we all started saying goodbye to everyone...
...on the top of The Prudential Center, which is one of the highest buildings in Boston.
Most people dressed up. Here are the two Swedes from our school- Maya and I.
Somewhere in this concrete jungle my school was located for six months.
Summer wore her sparkly shoes.
I went running through that park (The Commons) so many times when staying here. Oh, I'll really miss Boston. Such a nice city.
The charles river. I started to go running here in the mid of February, or something. Back then it was packed with snow and extremely windy.

And infront of the 'big' brown building that's in the right corner of this photo was our residence. For most of you it might just be a photo, but all I can think of is my running paths, that building infront of ours that suddenly was on flames, the park where we sometimes hung out, the T stop that wasn't very far away, Beacon Hill and so many things.
The room was really cute.


The tables were really nice as well.

This is very tgs- huge group photos whenever there's a occasion. This is even more tgs- tear filled goodbyes. Summer made the decision to transfer to a different school next fall. I already know that I will miss her really badly. (come and visit babe)
Dinner- yum.
Best Bostonian sunset so far.

The best table. (or well, parts of the best table. My lens excluded half of the people to the right side. )
This is (was (yepp, another tear-filled goodbye)) my Mandarin teacher, who has made me his 'own personal photographer', somehow. Here he's taking a photo of me.
Meli was sitting in our table...
... right next to Lin. (Haha, truth is that they didn't synchronize their facial expressions on purpose, which  makes the photos even better.)
I felt like time went by really quickly, and it was such a perfect ending to the year. To be honest I haven't seen Boston from above, and seeing it from that angle made me see it from a completely different viewpoint, and really didn't make me want to leave. I mean look at it!
'Mongu' and Lin.
My advisory group, haha. I don't think you could find ANY better photos of us that describes our group so well.
