Although I stayed in Philly for five days, I nearly see nothing inside it for I was spending most of the time for conference. The bus took me about 8 hours to Philly, which is a tired trip. There are a lot of tall buildings in the city.

And this glass building is the most wired one.

I forgot where I actually took the photo. It could be the city hall or the hotel. Anyway I don’t think it is a thriving city, because when I was walking in the city I can only see few people among the buildings. It is like a dead city.

The city hall marked that Philly was occupied by West India Company.

And this is what the city hall actually looks like…

The city hall station in the night.

And a very interesting parking sign around city hall.

Out of the downtown, you can see no high buildings.

The most famous sights of Philly are liberty hall and liberty bell. But I don’t think they are interesting. They are just not-so-old hall and a broken bell.

And the first bank of America, they really should build the bank in Wall Street. Who will believe in a bank like this?

I also spent one evening wandering around the city. I saw this sand sculpture in a garden. It has been built for a month and still standing there even in a rain! I have to emphasize that my umbrella was broken in Philly due to heavy wind and rain…

This is a colorful scene around sillybear (the one who accommodates me)’s house, a monastery.

And this one is more colorful in the night… I don’t understand why a hospital is so colorful, even for children.

The flying pig (-_-) in a small shop.

It is a small passage around the place I (or sillybear) was living. It reminds me of the shouts on the day Phillies got the champion.

Everyone should know this, the ENIAC, very first computer. This is just a part of it. I think the rest are too large to fit into the building today.

Finally, the last scene I saw in Philly — 30th street Penn station.
