Please join us for a reading and book signing with Fayyaz A. Vellani, Lecturer in Critical Writing at the University of Pennsylvania, for his recent book Tea With Ms. Tanzania. Light refreshments will be provided. After the death of her husband in London, Gulnar Jaffar writes letters to her estranged son Zain in Glasgow. These letters describe her life in 1960s Tanzania, from being caught up in a mutiny, to attending a tea party for the first lady. Pining for Zain’s understanding, Gulnar reveals how the fraught atmosphere of postcolonial East Africa has shaped their mother-son relationship. Fayyaz A. Vellani is the author of Tea With Ms. Tanzania, which Mathangi Subramanian called ”A quintessentially African story that blazes with heart.” Fayyaz teaches Critical Writing at the University of Pennsylvania, and his writing has appeared in Disability & Society, The Bookends Review, and F-Word Magazine. He is writing his next novel about Zanzibar, his grandfather’s birthplace.

The Penn Bookstore is located on the corner, very eye-catching, the bookstore has two floors, very spectacular. The bookstore is rich in goods, as long as the first floor is books, school uniforms, souvenirs, and the second floor is books and daily necessities. Many products are high because of the Penn logo.

A great piece of US history. You can easily spend a very informative afternoon roaming its halls and learning more about the declaration of independence.

Philadelphia was once the capital of the United States, so there is plenty of history, museums, monuments, and sites around the city. The Philadelphia Museum of Art boasts a nice array of exhibits. I visited on a Friday evening after work because museum admission is free Friday evenings (pay what you wish). I did pay for parking at their garage, which was only $5.

I feel that the attractions in downtown Philadelphia are really excellent. The historic sites near the Liberty Bell are under the unified management of National Park. Opposite the Liberty Bell is a large visitor center where you can consult Philadelphia&#39;s travel guide. The staff and volunteers here are also very enthusiastic to help give travel advice and answer consultation questions. There is also a small souvenir shop here, where you can buy refrigerator magnets, notebooks, postcards and other related Philadelphia souvenirs.

There are also exhibition explanations in the visitor center. Although it is relatively miniature compared to the museum, it still does not affect the number of tourists here. If you come by car, there is a parking lot in the basement of the Independence Hall Visitor Center for everyone to park. Although parking in the city center of Philadelphia is not very convenient and parking spaces are not easy to find, it is recommended that everyone park in the underground parking lot of the visitor center. If you come during the peak season, you need to apply for the ticket to the Independence Hall at the visitor center first, but I don&rsquo;t know if it is because of the epidemic. You don&rsquo;t need to take a ticket when you come, you can go directly to visit.
