Philadelphia [97th day]
Hi. It's Illinois Panda.
Day two of the East coast! I got up at 5:30 am and took a shuttle bus to N.Y. Just after arriving in N.Y. at 10:30 am, we rented a car and drove to Philadelphia. We took the subway in N.Y. to go to the rental shop. I thought N.Y. was similar to Shinjyuku. Both of them are highly populated, messy with shops or buildings, and quite noisy. And unfortunately, N.Y. was two or three times as dirty as Shinjyuku. I knew that the subway was very dangerous in terms of crime related to race discrimination. But, I didn't feel it was so dangerous, maybe because I was with two Turkish guys on both sides. My first impression of N.Y. was opposite to good. I hope it will be better when I'll go there again in a few days.
We arrived in Philadelphia around 3 pm and had late lunch at a popular fast-food restaurant called Jim's Steaks. We had cheesesteaks that are popular local food in Philadelphia. It was very oily but pretty good.
After having lunch, we went to a museum and looked at the fancy walls. This was the place a woman made by herself with glass, bins, tiles, or something like that. You can see a lot of attractive walls filled with twinkling resources. They were beautiful.
Tonight, we drove around the city and saw night views there for two hours. We went watching a river, a park, skyscrapers, and the University of Philadelphia. That was an excellent night driving.
こんばんは。今日は移動日ということで、ボストンからフィラデルフィアに来るまで9時間くらいを費やしました。でもドライブでいろんな景色を見れたので、充実してました。明日はより本腰を入れてフィラデルフィア観光をするので楽しみです。ではまた明日。 Have a great night!
