Summer vacation - Philadelphia

Erina goes to Penn University in Philadelphia, so we moved there from New York. The bus only takes two hours. Philadelphia is a nice town, despite its criminal scene; it is ranked between second- and third-most dangerous cities in the United States. 

Mixed architecture between modern and traditional determines the appearance of the town. Philadelphia's architectural history dates back to the colonial times and includes a wide range of styles. In 1932, Philadelphia became home to the first International Skyscraper in the United States. The PSFS Building is the United States' first modern skyscraper and considered the most important one built in the first part of the 20th century.

Here also we visited a China-Town.
