First four weeks of summer

The first four weeks of summer 2009 were really exciting!

My MIT friend Jason and I spent 3 weeks working on an exciting quantitative finance research project. We were inspired by the recent fluctuations of Palm Inc. After that, I took part in a 2000-mile roadtrip to the mid-west and witnessed the aftermath of the automobile industry apocalypse. Last but not least, I spent six days in the United Kingdom before work starts at MS. I attended a May Ball at Cambridge University and paid a visit to Edinburgh and Glasgow in Scotland.

Picture of me in Edinburgh:

Edinburgh was absolutely stunning. Modern stores are hidden away inside these beautiful buildings that combine features of medieval Gothic and renaissance architecture:


Edinburgh rocks! A bunch of people were giving out free hugs on High Street:
