Get off campus and get to know the rest of Atlanta

Our good professor has posted a link to an editorial, written by our own president Peterson, on his blog. The editorial can be read here. It discusses Atlanta, mainly the areas surrounding Georgia Tech.

Now as we all know, Georgia Tech is a great campus, but the surrounding city is thriving with opportunities. Atlanta is the largest city in the southeast, containing the largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies. Major media companies such as CNN and TBS were also founded here. And not unexpected of our great school, graduates here largely have a hand in finding other companies.

Atlanta's a great place to soak in some culture. One might spend some time at the Atlanta History House, the Margaret Mitchell House, the Woodruff Arts Center which houses the Atlanta Symphony, High Museum of Art, the Alliance Theater, Fabulous Fox Theater, Atlanta Ballet, Martin Luther King Historic Center, and Carter Center are all within a small radius of campus.

If none of those suit your fancy, Atlanta also has a zoo and an aquarium. One can also watch the Hawks and the Falcons play.

So as you can see, Atlanta is a happening area with plenty to do, whenever we're not studying, of course.

Tin Drum

Tin Drum is an amazing Asian restaurant with Thai and Indian food located in Atlanta, Georgia. Georgia Tech students are fond of the food served in Tin Drum since Georgia Tech students have a good proportions of Asian and India students. The food of Tin Drum is very delicious. The chefs make sure that their customers have a good meal, and the customers come again. The chefs are so good that even the pessimistic customers find it difficult to find a mistake. I also visited to Tin Drum when I heard about the food. I loved the delicious food as I had already ate 5 dishes of rice.

Atlantic Station

I and some of my new friends went to watch 2012 in one of the theaters in Atlantic Station. Before the movie, we were roaming around in the Atlantic Station. There were many rich people roaming in Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, and Macerate. It had eateries and retailers like Target, H&M, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Dillard's, and K-La. It was like moving around New York. It looked like New York as they were preparing for the Christmas. The lightning made it more wonderful.

Decatur

I went to have a lunch in Decatur as it was my friend's birthday. We went to Chopatti which was an amazing Indian restaurant. It was filled with diverse people and different variety of Indian food. The food was very delicious. The time that was spent turned out to be very helpful because I learnt about the various restaurants in Decatur. I also learnt that we need to go to different places if we want to know about the various types of food.
