"It's a little boring, Hong Kong is now hit by a typhoon, we can't go back for the time being, wait for you Aru to recover, let the nurse watch the doorman, I just want to play with you, look at American universities, see which one you like to study in the future!" Lin Jianqi said. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"No, I'm here to study in the United States, everyone is busy, who will care about you!" Zhou Yimin vetoed.
"What can you do if you don't read some books? You have to recharge at any time, otherwise you will be eliminated by society in the future!" Lin Jianqi persuaded.
"Who will eliminate me? You? Let you be free, you will eliminate me sooner or later! You have only been in the United States for a long time, and so many foreign women have called you!" Zhou retorted dissatisfiedly.
"How dare I, it's too late for you to slip your whiskers and pat the horse, remember to call your mother to say hello!" Lin Jianqi finally reminded. He hurriedly diverted the topic, the sequelae of the romance when he used to study came out, and now many women in the United States miss him and learn that he came to the United States, and they called him a lot.
"Well, I know, the painting is done, do you think it looks good?" Zhou Comemin put down the pen and asked.
Zhou Yimin is not worried about her mother's safety, because every day the mother and daughter have a phone call, Lin Jianqi is extremely careful in the security of his family, and there is no danger at all.
"Well, it's good, it looks like it's made by a famous artist!" Lin Jianqi gave a thumbs up.
"It's not like it at all!" Zhou Comin snorted with white eyes.
Boston, located in the northeastern United States, is the capital of Massachusetts, with an area of 125 square kilometers and a population of about 620,000. It is the capital and largest city of Massachusetts and an excellent seaport city. The city of Boston, along with the surrounding towns of Cambridge, Quincy, Newton, and many others, is known as Greater Boston, with a total area of about 12,000 square kilometers.
Boston has been around for more than 360 years and is known as the "oldest city" in the United States. In 1620, a group of English Puritans who had been persecuted for their religion came to settle near Massachusetts after a long and arduous voyage aboard the ship Mayflower. Among them was a contingent led by John Winthrop that established a settlement in the southern part of the mouth of the Charles River.
Boston's education is second to none in the United States. It is home to many universities and is known as the world's leading center for science and technology education and research. In 1635, when the early pioneers were still overpowering, the first Latin school in North America was born. There are more than 80 colleges and universities in the city, which is the highest among all states in the country.
Famous universities include Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston University, Northeastern University, etc., and professional colleges include Boston School of Music, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, etc. In addition, the Horacemann School for the Deaf and Dumb and the Massachusetts School for the Blind, which are engaged in special education, are also very distinctive, and it can be said that they are the cradle of the American elite.
Governments at all levels allocate large sums of money every year to support the development of education, and in turn, these schools also inject a lot of money into the local economy every year, attracting many enterprises to set up. Fortune magazine has named Boston as one of the best international business environment and the most business-friendly city.
Quincymarcket is arguably Boston's liveliest place, and for 200 years it has been bustling with diners looking to feast on it. Quincy Market offers a wide range of cuisines, from formal dining to fast food, from romantic French to American hamburgers, from Byzantine-style Turkish to fiery Mexican, from the most popular East Asian cuisine in the United States to the spice-famous North African cuisine.
"Husband, this seafood soup and lobster rolls are so delicious, you can try them too!" Ge Weiru said as he forked the lobster rolls to Lin Jianqi's mouth.
"I can't eat it!" Lin Jianqi patted his stomach and looked at Ge Weiru and Zhou Comin who were digging lobster meat for himself with a bitter face.
When you come to Boston, you must try the local food, the most popular are the New England-style seafood chowder and lobster roll, of course, to satisfy your taste buds for lobster cravings, but it is painful to eat them until you can't eat them.
"You've eaten Amin's, and I'll eat mine too!" Ge Weiru pouted.
"Okay, okay, I'll eat it!" Lin Jianqi swallowed the lobster roll into his mouth.
Zhou Comin tore off the lobster meat and handed it over again, lest he still waved it with lobster tongs if he didn't eat it, staring at the bright eyes and threatening, Lin Jianqi couldn't hold back, and the lobster roll was full of squirting out.
