23 Sep

This is Saturday and no appointments for today. First we gone to a store and get a battery charger for my camera. Then we reached to the market street where we can see a typical market of Philadelphia. In some corners, there we may see The Amish, the plane people of United States selling foods and cuisines. Their foods seem to be very good. The Amish people came from Germany to here to get freedom in Religion Robert explained. How do you think about Diversity in America ?

Hum…How about the Chocolate made by them ? Absolutely good. Robert is someone crazy in Chocolate so that he bought 2 pieces of chocolate and share one to me.

Then we moved out into the streets and explore things around. A tourist bus, a black man shouting at the corner of the streets, Independence Hall, A tour Horse Cart all are beautiful scenes at all.



























We watched a movie about Jefferson at the Jefferson’s Museum. It inspired me that how a leader should look like? The Leader should be free and independent from other things and beliefs. Jefferson’ wrote Declaration of Independence (1776)



























Speak Litte Do Much
Then we headed again to the Benjamin Franklin’s Museum and watched movie about him.




























I’m studying not only the Founding Fathers of US but I rather look like, I’m studying how people develop themselves for better society by start studying from North America.

Benjamin Franklin always love to invent things. Pleas see the musical instrument below. It’s amazing. It make pretty good sounds. I’ve heard that.

On the way to NCC, we saw The United State Mint Building.

Yes, we the people, whether rich or not, poor or not, smart or not, we really are people staying on this one earth. What we gonna do ? The founding fathers of United States have shown some definitions in this statement.

Philadelphia Museum of Art

Even before entering into the Museum, I understood this will be a place that would took all my emotions, thoughts, minds then would make all my camera batteries gone away. Yes I was right.

At the Entrance














It’s also a place of earth where all the remarkable and unbelievable arts create new moods and even framing the all visitors’ heart and soul.

As I’m seeing the paintings and sculpture, I’m getting understand that I also a victim of idea and emotions. Finally I think I’m getting smaller, there’s are lots of things that I’ve to continue in the Arts. And what will be the best way to study these varieties ? The most exciting thing this Museum gave me is to answer above question.

It’s a good place to study “Some of Painting Styles and Technique”

And I saw two Wedding Groups in front of the Museum. Robert explained and made some small jokes for me at there to understand the American culture and their daily life. He also never missed the Chocolate when he saw the Chocolate Colored Bride-maids.



























Then he continues the story of Greece gods by showing me at the left wing building roof. But there’s no more Greece god in the right wing building. It’s seem unsual for symmetric architecht. Robert shown me that Robert is not perfect for all knowledge that he could not see the idea behind this unsymmetrical arts of this museum.

Here’s also a statue, commisioned by Stallone for Rocky III of Rocky was placed at the top of Philidelphia Art Museum steps. Following it's placement atop the steps City Commerce Director Dick Doran claimed that Stallone and Rocky had done more for the city's image than "anyone since Ben Franklin".

When we get into Taxi for Museum, the Cab driver asked us the destination. When we answered we would be Philadelphia Museum of Art, he smiled and immediately replied to us Would you like to be as Stallone as in the Rocky III ? At that time, I could not understand it completely. But then I understood Stallone also an image of Philadelphia. The drivers are very friendly.

The square in front of the Museum also a good place to explain the different in styles of Modern and Post Modern Sky-scraper. Robert always try to get best for his friend.
