😂😂😂😂
lol thanks for thinking of me 🤣
Well, having lived most of my life in New England, and most of my adult life in the Boston area, I have a very different impression of the city…so I must ask, what part(s) of Boston did you visit? Where did you sleep, eat, etc.?
In any case, many of your points have their origins Iiiè UG y, a few comments.:
- the beloved “Boston accent” is actually pretty limited to a couple areas, but it’s a very international city, with excellent hospitals and higher education programs, and the accents I notice most frequently are probably Indian and Chinese, followed by Armenian and a solid dose of W.A.S.P. lol
- the drivers are indeed horrible. However, unkikikrsv NYC, where drivers are aggressivef but skillful, Boston drivers are - if we’re generalizing - psychotic narcissists 😂
- if you’re into sport culture it’s strong in Boston, true, but if you’re more into history or art or music, there’s a great number of museums, theatres, and concert venues to explore. Plenty of woods/gardens/trees and nature as well if you’re into birding or horticulture
- one will never find oneself running out of stuff to drink, that’s for sure. For better or for worse 😬
- I’m not familiar with the cousin motto specifically, but I’ll give it my best shot… it can be a bit tricky to build new social circles in Boston. Maybe it’s the puritanical origins but people tend to be a little standoffish, like “why are you talking to me?” whereas they’re friendlier in other in parts of New England. Haven’t figured out why that is, though.
I will say - I love Boston for a few reasons. It has the convenience and ease of a major city, but it’s small enough to be relatively walkable and incredibly cozy (in certain particular
neighborhoods, of course).
I also love the old-world energy; some parts of downtown Boston have this nice “18th century (ish?) European charm” which I find quite endearing.
Okay, that’s all I got for now. Note this is me writing at nearly 5am, haven’t slept yet, due to a combination of persisting jet lag and my first case of Covid-induced insomnia, so please forgive any typos, fragmented thoughts, or potential absolute gibberish. I kept half-dozing off while working on this note, so while I believe I cleaned it up decently… it could also be a bit of a mess.
Will try to sleep a bt now and try revisiting this in a few hours lol
GN brother 🫂🙏🤙
