Some of our loyal readers have been asking what is going on, since we haven’t had an update in some time.  We sincerely apologize to our loyal readers, but something was going on that I’m about to tell you now.  There were a few updates on Facebook recently that told some of the story but this is the official story of the entire ordeal that I experienced.

It all began on Tuesday, January 18th, 2011.  Our company had some parts to ship to the USA and I was busy with details of shipping, labeling, etc., preparing a few thousand pieces of a part we manufacture, for shipment.  I noticed some peculiarity with my eyesight which seemed to be limited to my left eye only.  When I would move my eyes rapidly from side to side (which is a normal action) my field of vision seemed to be “torn” or as if I were looking through broken glass.  The break or tear in my vision would appear as a white flash followed immediately by a black jagged line.  This phenomenon happened very quickly and was very difficult to quantify.  After observing this occurrence several times over the course of the afternoon, I was able to see that a black line was visible as well as white flashes.  I continued with my shipping duties and tried to not let the visual anomalies interfere with the tasks at hand.  The truth be told, I didn’t really give it much thought at the time, as I was very busy with our business activities.

Wednesday morning found me doing more shipping and I got busy right away with preparing more parts for shipment.  I occasionally noticed that the flashes of light and the dark line that looked like a piece of broken glass would make it’s appearance.  It didn’t seem to correlate to anything except my eye movement.  I could induce an instance of flashes by rapidly moving my eyes from one side to the other.  I thought that probably wasn’t a wise thing to do, so I hesitated doing it just to observe the effects.  It seemed to happen enough during the course of my duties and that was good enough for me.  I didn’t really have any idea what was going on though.

As soon as Hui-chen and I got the car and started driving away from the North End area, the rain stopped!  This was very similar to what happened to us when we visited Salem a few days earlier.  But by the time it stopped raining completely we were away from the North End area, so we decided to take a look around downtown Boston, since we would be leaving New England in a few hours from now.

We have about 60-something photos to show you in this article, so let’s get started.

As we head into this new year, we’re coming to a close on this series soon.  On our last day in New England I wanted to take Hui-chen to the North End, the famous Italian section of Boston.  Years ago I lived in the North End, on Charter Street and there were some things that I wanted Hui-chen to see, and also I wanted her to experience some of the delicious food that the North End is famous for.

We turned on Commercial Street and headed into the famous North End of Boston….
