Our main purpose of visit was for Lu Lei to meet up with his University buddy Liao Jun. He recommended for us to try Frank Pepe reputed to serve the "best pizza in the world". We have included a picture of the takeaway box that has the address for future reference.

Liao Jun took us on a short walking tour around Yale University. It is the 3rd oldest institution of higher education in the US and is a member of the Ivy League. Buildings are historic and made for a pleasant and educational tour. We also passed by a silent black building which I was told is the HQ of Yale's secret society of Skull and Bones. It is one of the oldest student secret societies in the US. Skull and Bones is notorious for its secrecy. Member George W. Bush described his experience as "so secret we can't talk about it."
