We went to visit Pittsburgh last Saturday, and the impression I got about it was its steel and iron. We could see it through the bridges, which are all made of solid steel and iron. I love the rivers, with a lot people enjoying their sailing on them. I love American styles of getting relaxed and refreshed at weekends. It is more this way at State college. The first Sunday we arrived here was kind of surprising to us. We went shopping late in the afternoon and ended up with only a few of the shops opening. We can't see a lot of people except young adults dating their friends downtown. We were wondering where all the towns people went for their weekends. But it is really nice to stay with the family and enjoy the get-togethers. Oh, I miss my family, too!
What I don't like about Pitt. was its traffic jam! It seems that it would appear in bigger cities, always.
It was still of a lot of fun to know more about Penn. state, and America!
The visit to Pitt is a great experience. The Cathedral of Learning in The University of Pitt impresses me a lot. It's true that buildings can talk to us.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. I enjoyed reading about your trip. I like the imagery of the city presenting itself in steel and iron.
ReplyDeleteI also like the calm of State College :-).
To be honest, i don't like pitt either. I always feel it's a little bit forbidding. But to my surprise the computer science in Carneigie Mellon University is the No 1 in the world. I prefer the beauty and quiteness of Penn state. Its' a really ideal place for living and studying. Hope to read your up-to-date blog.
