Field trip we had on wednesday
gave me a chance to learn about Boston more.
Luckily weather was so good,
and on the boat wind was not that strong than usual as professor told us.
On the boat, I looked around and learned about lots of things of Boston.
During our field trip I heard lots about Big dig.
I think it helped boston in many ways and improve the quality of life in boston.
That reminded me about one project in my country, Seoul.
It was almost same as Big dig and it's called Chungyechun project
It's about eliminating overpass that was once symbol of development and reroute the stream that was hidden under the road.
There was lots of debates about that before started but it finished successfully like Big dig and I think both of them was really good decision.
One thing I remember that wasn't a good result of Big dig was Spectacle island.
I saw many Islands on the boat and it was most interesting one to me.
It was quite big island and seemed like it is divided in to two.
Impressive thing was that once it was really dirty island covered by clay and reshaped by dirts that were from Big dig, became this beautiful Island again. I couldn't believe that it wasn't that clean and also other island with nice houses was once really not that good like these days. and at that point I could realize importance of clean water project here.
As professor told us innovation was the most important thing
in Boston's history, I really agreed with what he said.
It's so nice to live in the city where big innovations like Big dig,
Boston harbor project and Clean act is done and been going.
Also it was really nice experience for me to know more things
about boston like shape of boston harbor is looks similar to Cape code to Cape ann, treatment things of water in boston, glaciers in the past, shippings and also other histories about here.
I wish we can have another field trip to experience real Boston again.
