Chicago Trip

Chicago trip was a short and fun trip. It was during Thanksgiving break. Together with Mary Anne, Joanne, Chin Hou, Voon, Cheng Khang and Khe Kong, we made it a very successful trip. It was really tiring because most of the time we will be out there travelling and trying new food.

We have been to all the 4 out of 5 main attractions in Chicago, paying $60 for each person (that's crazily expensive) for all city passes. The Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum and The Hancock Observatory. We have missed the Museum of Science and Industry because there was nothing special and we had a very tight schedule. Those places are fantastic; there were so many things to learn and see. Below are the example of my favourite pictures in Chicago.

1 thing that I would like to comment is about the attitude of Chinese people in China Town. They are not friendly at all. We went to a Chinese restaurant on our first day for lunch. We were not being treated well, I think it was because we are all students, which indirectly means that we might not give much tips. After the lunch, we decided not to give much of tips. Then the waitress said that the tips is not enough, it must be minimum of 15%. Well, then we used calculator to calculate the exact 15% and nothing more for her. On the other hand, there was another bigger group of adults sitting beside our table. They were bring treated differently, much nicer than how we were being treated. Oh well... They are all tips-oriented.

We had also been to the famous "Bean". It was very unique. All of us became cam-whore all of a sudden.

We also went for shopping in Aurora for Black Friday where all things became much cheaper. I bought myself a pair of Nike Shoes (40 USD), sweat shirt and a long sleeve shirt.

These girls...... crazily rich. (Actually not all the items are theirs.)
