Boston is a beautiful city, a lot of repair works, brick walls and decorated pillars, trees and ivy leaves on the wall, shops, restaurants, cafes, people running down the street, the parks full of flowers.
All the roads are inter-connected and cross at wrong angles that to get around here is not too easy. The BU campuses along the commonwealth avenue are pretty, many eating places and Radio Shack where they are broadcasting Japan-Cameroon game. I went out to get a cell phone, checked it in the Internet, found a good one at Best Buy.
One of my question is, why should a shop retailer lie about directions? Could it be justified if I asked for another store? I asked for a particular cell phone item which they sold out already. The set is in the reasonable range, I should say. She checked the net and pointed at another Best Buy store. And the direction was, ambiguous to say the least but I would think it was not her intention to give me the right direction.
In the end, I reached the place. I met a person on Boyleston Street, a fancy street with big apartment. I showed my iPad and asked where we were on the map. I brought it for that purpose. It took a while for her to recognize the map. I told her the situation that I looked for a cell phone which they do not have it in the Newbury store. The Fenway store has it. I told her that I know Boston that I am glad to be back. Well, welcome back, she said. That made my day.
