Philadelphia

Thanksgiving break:

The streets of Philadelphia and the bare trees in the winter

Amazing public art in Philadelphia

I'm not sure if this is the headquarters of Fox News, but if it is, it is sure way smaller than I had imagined it to be.

At Rittenhouse Square, where I had a quiet breakfast by myself on Black Friday, when the world was busy snatching for bargains in shopping malls.

Wharton Business School, SMU's source of pride and glory.

Broad Street. A display of flags of countries all over the world. I found Singapore!

And as of always, no city is ever complete without a Chinatown.
Presenting... Chinatown in Philadelphia!

THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF PHILADELPHIA.

The start of THE annual Thanksgiving parade. It showcased bands from schools,

and floats. Haha, Kermit the frog. =)

I love this photo! I always wanted to be a clown someday. If anybody you know is looking to fill up a temporary clown position, CALL ME!

SC's NBA game.

Independence Hall.

The famous Liberty Bell.

According to SC, there is a trademark finale scene in one of the Rocky Balboa movies in which he stood at the steps of the Art Museum of Philadelphia like that (look at photo). The pose is so famous that the museum erected a statue in memory of it. Look! I'm doing the exact same pose!

Mutter's Museum of medical oddities. Eargh! There are gruesome stuff in there! Not for people with weak stomachs.

Here is a model of Eastern State Penitentiary. It's a closed jailhouse. America's oldest prison!

How a typical cell looked like.

Prisoners had a small area behind their cells for them to exercise in.

This is some underground punishment place.
