Scavenger Hunt

Tuesday, i had a great and fun activity that were scavenger hunt for theater history. I were grouped a team with other class mates then we left class room to find our treasure. When I got the list which is full of short questions, I little surprised but we searched it via google then solved. We needed to go to many places. So, we decided to split up two groups and then one group went to time square and the other group went to Astor place. I was in a group who went to Astor place. The first place of which I and my team member visit was the Players club. I astonished because this club is really close to our school. It is just a few blocks away. Even I used to walk around there. The Players club is a social club founded in New York City by the noted 19th-century Shakespearean actor Edwin Booth and Mark Twain. They might discuss about stories, plays, and thought a lot. Mark Twain’s place! What an amazing! When I was in a young boy, I read Mark Twain’s work and used to dream about adventure even I grew up outside of the U.S. The irony thing is, even Mark Twain is my one of the here, more even it is really near of the Baruch College, I never figure out his place until Tuesday. It happened other places, too. Next destination was Astor place. We have been finding the site of a theater riot and a theater “Walk of fame”. Whenever we got off subway, we tried to find the site of a theater riot place at first. We turned on the google map then was looking at it. We just stand near station, then the google map pointed out a building right behind of us. Moreover, the first floor of the building is a huge Starbucks coffee chain even I stepped by many times to buy a cup of coffee! It was continuous surprising. Then we moved to find walk of fame. At first, I thought it is a name of theater but it is not. It was star plate of fame on the street. This boardwalk is also I passed by so many time but never know. All these places are that I was passed and knew but I didn’t know what it is. This activity is literally scavenger hunt. The treasures are scatted out all around us. We just didn’t know that. I learned and knew the historic story of the building and place that I didn’t care about it.
