Boston Eclectic city with eclectic people?

Boston …Eclectic city with eclectic people?

Now in the bus to NYC with Natalia and friends after quite a crazy day… it’s high time to write a little about our first impressions.

Yesterday night we had a walk in the city, downtown. Let’s say that I got amazed by how mixed I found the people passing by in the street. I mean, I really found it difficult to make out a dominant kind of faces. We talked about it later with Natalia and we agreed on saying that American people is more or less a mix of people coming from everywhere, European from many different countries, Afro-American, Asian,… okay, nothing really new but getting used to live in France and Morocco, this is something that I noticed. And even considering the “white” population for examples it is hard to make one’s mind one how an American looks like.

It is obvious that one can also find such diversity when looking at the building, at least in downtown. All the architectural styles are mixed, it seems that for them it is just normal, but for me it looks like a pretty and charming anarchy (positive). Modern buildings and skyscrapers built close to (for examples) old churches.

I could say exactly the same concerning clothes… behaviours…

I feel it as freedom, no matter who you are, no matter how you behave, no matter what are your cultural references, here you feel almost at home! At least you could feel…

People never judge others; I mean never star at you. Consequently, you don’t feel you are a stranger!

Actually it is obvious that we (European) don’t share the same value as them. It’s like all western values and references are “extremes” here.

That’s all for today, photos will be available from tomorrow.
