The United States Military Academy, located on the elbow-shaped triangular rocky slopes of the Hudson River in the northern suburbs of New York, has an excellent military location. The place is called West Point by the locals, so it is customary to call it West Point Military Academy.
Boys seem to like this place especially. If you want to visit, you must report the group. There are two types depending on the time. You can check the time on the Internet first. After parking the car, you must first go to the visitor center to register and sign up for the delegation. There are restrictions on the time of the visit. When we finished the visit at four o'clock, we saw someone just arrived and ran for a while.
Take a big bus to visit the campus, and then check your passport and other documents. After the 9/11 visit, the West Point Military Academy was much stricter than before, and many areas were no longer accessible. The
Cadet Chapel has more than a hundred weddings a year, and of course it must be graduates. The tidying of the Bible and Hymns is a bit shocking.
Stained glass behind the altar is the first glass installed in the church when it was built in 1910. The theme is Genesis and West Point Spirit. They explain the West Point Schoolamental Duty (Responsibility) Honor with different stories in the Bible. Honor) and Country (country). The 192 stained-glasses in the church were all donated to the church by West Point graduates, starting with the graduating class in 1802, and the last one was donated by the 1976 graduating class. All of the stained glass was made by Willet Stained Glass. From 1910 to 1976, the price of each glass never changed, always three hundred dollars. There is a statue of Barton near the
West Point Military Academy Library. As a graduate of the West Point Military Academy, it took Barton five years to graduate from West Point, a year more than the same period. His reason is that "the school library was not found during the study." So in 1950, the West Point Military Academy stood opposite the school library with a statue of General Patton wearing a helmet, dressed in an armor and holding a telescope, so that he could "find the library."
Thayer Hall is the main venue for military teaching. It consists of four floors, of which only one is repaired on the ground and the other three are built in the mountains.

I usually spend my vacation leaves in Tokyo or Osaka hunting for anime merchandise, but I decided to do a quick 8-day run of the US East Coast recently. Flew out from Cebu.
If you are planning a multi-city trip covering New York, Philly, and Boston, here is a straightforward evaluation of what is actually worth your time and what you can skip.
· *New York City**
· **The Edge & Hudson Yards:** Overpriced just for a view. If you’ve seen skylines in Tokyo or Singapore, this is pretty average.
· **Central Park & Bryant Park:** Central Park is decent for a morning walk to clear your head. Bryant Park's winter market was alright, but extremely crowded and the food was overpriced.
· **The Met (Metropolitan Museum of Art):** This one is actually worth it. It is massive, so wear proper walking shoes. The rebuilt Egyptian temple inside is the highlight.
· *Philadelphia**
· **Penn Museum (UPenn):** As someone who prefers structured, historical exhibits, this was a solid stop. Excellent collection of global artifacts, much quieter and easier to appreciate than the museums in NYC.
· **Independence Hall:** Standard historical landmark. Good if you like history, skip if you don't care about US heritage.
· *Boston & Area**
· **MIT & West Point:** Visited the campuses. MIT was interesting from an engineering perspective, though it's ultimately just a campus. West Point has a very rigid, military atmosphere—decent but nothing spectacular.
· **New England Aquarium:** Skip this. It is quite basic. You can find much better aquariums in Japan or elsewhere in Asia.
· **Quincy Market:** Basically a tourist trap food court. The clam chowder was okay, but nothing to write home about.
· *A few practical tips:**
1. **Data:** Do not rely on international roaming. Buy a local US eSIM before you fly out. It’s cheaper and more reliable.
2. **Payment:** Everyone says the US is cashless, but keep some USD cash on hand. Some smaller vendors and transport services still prefer cash.
3. **Gear:** You will easily log 15,000 to 20,000 steps a day. Do not try to look fashionable; wear solid, supportive walking shoes. Bring a light windbreaker if you are going in October as the wind gets quite cold in Boston.

A multi-country trip to the US and other countries during the National Day holiday is totally worth it!
