Syracuse City

I live in the outskirts of Syracuse city. A trip to Syracuse is a hotel shuttle and a $1 bus ride away. This sleepy little 'city' is kind of a charmless, industrial city which no tourist would usually come visit. No nice landmarks or restaurants or museums or shops or history that make it exciting. Perhaps the only interesting titbit was that it used to be called Salt City coz it used to supply America most of its salt.

After 7, all the shops close. This I know coz we missed the 7pm bus and we had nothing to do coz all shops were closed so we just waited, in the FREEZING WEATHER, for the 8pm bus to come. Yeah, there are only buses, no subway system in Syracuse. And the buses come in 1 hour intervals after 5pm! It was a really memorable experience to brave the cold and wait for the bus instead of taking a $28, 10 min, cab ride back to the hotel!

On the public bus to Syracuse!

Perhaps the most impressive building was their Science & Technology Museum.

Charmless city...

Picture of my coursemates! (at least most of them)
