A Londoner’s Guide to Boston

Hey, I just did this guide to Boston for Platform, which is a cool London-based site you guys should all go check out. Whatever, it's your life dude. Read the rest of the piece if you want.I poured my heart and soul into it, which should probably tell you a lot about the content of my heart and soul.

I just got done doing an imaginary interview with the director of tourism in the mayor’s office here in Boston, and while she couldn’t give me exact numbers, she estimated that anywhere between a shit load and a deluge of Londoners turn up here every year to come look at our historical architecture and not tip our waitresses and bartenders. Most tourists who go anywhere are clueless, but come on you guys, Boston is basically London the sequel. With that in mind, here’s a few things you’ll need to know before you come, aka everything that I could think of to make jokes about on short notice.

Lots of words over here. Can you break it down and re-post in 26 or however many sections? Thanks in advance.

Lemme just go ahead and do that. Try rebooting your computer and checking back in a second.

That's pretty spot on.

Here's one Bostonian's guide to London:

London is great if you're 18 and you and a buddy fly over to get hammered and you bang a 35-year old Irish lady on the first night and smoke crack in an abandoned tube station on your second night, night three your pal gets arrested and then you spend nights 4 and 5 sleeping at Gatwick Airport hiding from drug dealers.

Also London shits out some pretty good music every 20 years or so.

The MBTA 66 bus is full of liars and people who bend the truth! And people just trying to get to work, or get outta the damn house for an hour or whatever. Point is, fuck this other guy from the bus, I know what's up and he doesnt know shit from shite.
