This is the city center, near the Boston Harbour, where we picked up our car. The architecture around Boston is really amazing.
This was our car for the day, a white Chevy SUV, which had great acceleration, ample boot space (you will see why its so important later), but sadly a very bad middle seat with a suffocating seat belt (I was in that middle seat, you see).
Happy faces in anticipation of the trip! From top left, we have Jacqueline, a HKU exchange student, Kox, and Anna, who's Spanish and the girlfriend of a German lawyer who's here on the American LLM programme. The last picture shows the parking lot of the outlet village. This is just 1 column of the parking spaces available. I estimate the outlet mall to be around 2/3 the size of the Singapore Expo.
And thats us right at the end of the shopping trip! see how much stuff we bought! and thats why the boot of the Chevy came in real handy! And the last girl in the last picture is called Stacy, who's a lawyer without a license back in China (or so she claims; the real truth is that she's working at a foreign law firm in Beijing, and they are supposed to surrender their China law license when they switch to a foreign law firm in China).
Prices there are real cheap! It took a bit of self restraint not to buy up the entire ralph lauren polo store, especially since the polos were going at 40 to 50 SGD cheaper than those sold in Singapore! Jacqueline, the HKU student, was like a kid in a candy store at Coach, and I think she spent a couple of hours easily inside that store.
All in all, this was a real good trip, with great company and great bargains!
