This Friday, my team’s destination was a very distinguished bank in the United States-----Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. This famous bank is in a distinctive 614-foot tall, 32-story building, located at 600 Atlantic Avenue in Boston. This was a special experience for me since it was my first time to visit a bank. With lots of expectation, I stepped into the spectacular gate.

Without doubt, the most significant thing occurred was definitely the unforgettable and brilliant presentation. The lecturer informed us of plenty of information about the banking including the history of the bank, the structure of the bank, the rules and regulations, how the bank operates and a little bit financial information. All of the content fascinated me to a large degree. I have learned quite a lot from this presentation.

As part of the nation's central bank, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston promotes sound growth and financial stability in New England and the nation. The Bank contributes to local communities, the region, and the nation through its high-quality research, regulatory oversight, and financial services, and through its commitment to leadership and innovation. Eventually, we also had a significant notice about how to differ and identify the fake money and the real one. The officer showed us the symbols which can help us easily to distinguish the counterfeit.

In conclusion, this journey benefited me a lot. It will continue to serve as a good memory in my life. I wish that the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston will run successfully forever.
