we went to visit the amish people in Lancaster, PA. This was my favorite part of the whole trip because this was something new and the scenic beauty of country side was warm and pleasant. Also this type of farming was interesting to watch, because they were using mechanical tractors and animals instead of machine operated tractors. The farmers market had food cultivated by these farmers....which is in a way organic...so i tried the pumpkin pie and i liked it. But the amish community also don't like to be disturbed by visitors ...though we could observe their lifestyle only from a distance...it is surprising how they survive without technology. In my opinion native Americans are the true inhabitants and it is bad how the Quakers and Mennonites got treated by the new immigrants especially around new ... read more

this day, I checked off 2 things to do in Philadelphia ...first try the philly cheese steak and go to Macy's. Then we went to Independence Hall which is the centerpiece of Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, on Chestnut Street between 5th and 6th Streets. It is known primarily as the location where both the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and drafted. Liberty Bell is another significant aspect of Philadelphia. Then we made that hilarious trip to The Eastern State Penitentiary, also known as ESP, is a former American prison in Philadelphia, PA. The penitentiary refined the revolutionary system of separate incarceration first pioneered at the Walnut Street Jail which emphasized principles of reform rather than punishment. Not many people like visiting this place, because it ... read more

11th May was sunday, so Alvina and I went to this catholic church early morning then we had an optional trip to the war museum. But opted in because i enjoy debates about historical events and warfare. The war museum basically described the tactics used by US army in the Vietnam war, cold war, etc The detailed exhibit of weaponry used was interesting. Since America is known to be a country which invests a lot in modern warfare, these glorified museums had some amazing exhibits which an American citizen would feel proud of. The details are covered in the photographs. Evening, i went shopping to Walmart with my friends... read more
