boston observations

- the radio stations play lots of 90's music...lots of it...pearl jam, nirvana, sublime, red hot chili peppers, etc, etc.

- this is the most humid place i've ever lived (also the weather here is crazy in general...even more so than colorado)

- lots of bad drivers

- many excellent places to eat

- good/interesting public transportation

- not very mexican friendly

- sports=life...not just the fact that the teams are really good (which they are), there are a lot of active people (running, biking, hiking) too

- people who live in cambridge and beacon hill (and places like that) are essentially disconnected from life in dorchester/roxbury/jamaica plain

- people don't know how to say "oregon" and also say a lot of other word weird too

- dreyers=edy's

- the red line is way faster than the green

- the mayor's name is on everything

- there are a lot of huge catholic churches

- sprinkles (that one would put on ice cream) are called "jimmies"

- people definitely dress differently than in california...and that's not because of the weather...it's hard to describe, but it is kind of fun to make fun of (for example: pink polo shirts with popped collars)

- there aren't many old people in the city

- the roads have tolls (lame) and the streets are not always clearly marked (frustrating)

...and a bunch of other stuff, but i think that's it for now.
