acurro91 asked:


Hey guys, I am going to Boston, Massachusetts next month and was wondering if there are any really cool things I should see. I am going for college visits but am staying for 2-3 days so I cant see everything. I’ve been there once before for about a week. Also, are there any cool Ghost tours or walks that are worth it? Thanks.

interxavier asked:


okay, this has to be my 3rd or 4th question about studying in the United States. To be precise, the only sure schools we can afford are 2-year community colleges. That leaves Universities out. Being an Alien student and having no relatives in a certain city or state, how do I survive? I mean, where will i get and how much should be my pocket money? That and many aspects in studying in US as an alien. I need info.

Oh yeah… I want Boston, Massachusetts.

Tranquility at Boston Harbor…

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008
Naveen Marasinghe asked:


Boston Harbor is a natural harbor located at Boston, Massachusetts which is also the home for the Port of Boston, major shipping facility in the area. European discovered this port in 1630s and because of the high activity in the area the water got polluted and major steps were taken to retain its natural quality as it is. Now the area holds much more significance and the natural beauty as a traveling destination in Boston.

Boston harbor is bordered by the Massachusetts Bay and Atlantic Ocean. The outer harbor which stretches to the south and east holds some of the scenic islands in Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area such as Bumpkin Island, Calf Island, Hangman Island and several other natural habitats. Boston Harbor is a place full of historical significance because this is the place where famous Boston Tea Party took place. In December 16, 1773 American Colonists got together and performed an action, destroying crates full of tea owned by the British East Indian Company as the protest against the British Government and now the site is recognized as a place where an iconic event of American history took place.

If the travelers are looking for some ocean adventure, they can go in for a whale watch ride on a high speed catamaran accompanied with a narration, climate controlled cabin houses, state of the art audio and video systems and ample viewing space. Sight seeing cruises are also available for a reasonable price to take a glimpse at some of the on shore historic sites around Boston Harbor area.

The off shore islands are packed up with activities such as hikes, nature trails, shuttle boat services between other islands and full of exciting places such as Civil War era Fort Warren in Gorges Island, Boston Light; one of the oldest lighthouses in the nation, in Little Brewster Island. Islands such as Spectacle Island caters its visitors with sophisticated dinning in modern restaurants, quality time in fishing and bird watching which provides relaxation and comfort the guests yearn for.

Langham Hotel, Boston is minutes away from the Boston harbor and it is an ideal location topped of friendly service and modern amenities of all Boston Hotels and that’s the whole reason that Langham, Boston is rated as one of the premier Hotels in Boston.

Step Into History & Literature at the Boston Public Library

Sunday, December 28th, 2008
Naveen Marasinghe asked:


A monumental building stands upon Boylston Street, standing tall in its magnificence and telling century old tales of Boston. This very building is none other than the Boston Public Library. Holding secrets of history, culture and customs, it stands tall since the day it has made its home there.

The Great and General Court of Massachusetts founded the Boston Public Library and was the first ever-free library in the United States of America. Founded in 1848, this historical public library is a gift to community, offering people the love for knowledge and education. Initially held in an old schoolhouse on Mason Street, it was later relocated to the building that stands tall today on Boylston Street. An architectural marvel created by architect Charles Follen McKim, it was also known to some as “The Palace for the People”.

Since its inception, the Boston Public Library, or BPL as it is commonly referred to, has expanded into branch libraries. The McKim building as well as the Johnson building designed by Phillip Johnson forms the BPL. These two buildings form the headquarters form the many branches of the library, which spans across Boston city.

Apart from the vast collection of books and research material, the library also boasts the possession of many valued objects, such as rare books and manuscripts, antique maps, musical scores and prints. Some of those objects include several early edition folios of William Shakespeare, some musical scores by Mozart and John Adams’s personal library.

The Boston Public Library is not just a structure holding secrets of knowledge, but also it holds its own secret treasures, such as Bates Hall. The Bates Hall is known as one of the most important rooms in the world architecturally. The hall which is named in honor of Joshua Bates, a merchant banker from London who was born in Massachusetts, is a half domed beauty with oak and limestone furniture and fittings. The décor includes the busts of famed Bostonians and revered authors.

The Boston Public Library holds many galleries such as the Chavannes Gallery, The Abbey Room and the Sergeant Gallery. The library also allows for library tours around this architectural marvel.

Visit the Boston Public Library and be awed by the sheer beauty and grandiosity of the structure and everything it possesses while staying at the Taj Boston, a five star hotel located close to the library. This Boston luxury hotel offers guests lavish accommodation coupled with quality services and warm hospitality.
