Part 4 - Philadelphia

Headed up to Philly over the weekend with a big group (~20) of mates to check out the city, eat and get blind. 

The Sites

Stayed at the Marriot Hotel Downtown in Philly which was located in the hub of the city. Best thing about it was that it was next door to the Reading Terminal Market which is a huge market place selling all types of foods and fresh produce. We went there everyday to eat because it was so good. 

                                        The best Philly Cheese Steak - the TrainWreck

Did the typical sites around Philadelphia (which wasn't much) including the "LOVE" sign (very small) and the Rocky statue/steps which leads to the Philadelphia Art Museum. Was a great walk to both and took some nice snaps. 

                                                                   The Love Sign
                                                                       The Crew
                                                                     Rocky Statue
                                                                     Rocky Steps


The Museum was holding a Korean Art exhibition so I had to hit it up (because Korea is #1). Had a lot of cool Korean art as well as other historical stuff. Was a good cultural break from all the drinking and such.

                                                   Traditional Korean Painting Script
                                                               Traditional Han-Bok

South Street

Hit up South Street on Saturday night for some drinks. Went to a super hipster bar with graffiti all over the walls which would not be out of place in Newtown or Surry Hills back home. Had some good brews then moved onto another bar somewhere else. Finished the night off with a shitload of pizza from 7-11 which actually shits on Dominos or Pizza Hut back home haha. 
                                                                         Pre-Gaming
                                                                      Tattooed Mom's

All in all a great trip with great food, people and drinks. Next stop Cancun!
