Chicago trip 9-11 March 10

Finally i felt that i m in US..when i enter the downtown of Chicago.... =D
The feeling been in US is not so strong compare with staying in Carbondale
Chicago is way better, advance than Carbondale and KL (the capital city of Malaysia...)

I go to Chicago with Ps.Juan's family, he drive the van and everyone fit into one van...they was another family following us...all together 19 ppls...
We depart at 930am, and reached Chicago around 415pm...
Along the journey, we played a lot of game..
In order to kill time, we killed our brain cells so much to think of game to play...it's a long journey..
and among all the game that we play, the kids enjoyed "mafia" the most..haha. I never get bored of playing this game.. =D

When we arrived at Chicago, all of us already very hungry, so Ps.Juan decided to go eat Vietnamese noodles.. the noodle is good, and the portion is very big....
it like so long that i didnt take noodle with soup here in US..oh..it's good, when the hot soup go into yr stomach...

after filling our stomach, the day become dark and Ps.juan drive us around the downtown of chicago
it is beautiful..very beautiful in the night time...
i really felt that i m in the Top class of city..haha...
after that we straight away went to the house that we going to stay for two night...
We stayed in Anderson family, they are so nice that let us stay two night without paying ...
and they make us desert every night, and on the last day, they make us breakfast
They are very nice family. they offer their rooms and beds for us...is a very welcoming family...
May God blessings pour upon the family...
after settled down, we played phase 10 til late at night..
it was the first new game that i learnt here..haha

The next day, we went to China town to had DIM SUM!
we can have dim sum in US but the taste is not as good as in Malaysia...
Malaysia's food is the best.. =D
this is "chee chionf fan"

porridge~


after breafast, we went to the Field Museum...
we spent some time outside of the museum coz the scenery is very nice...

we didn't go into the museum coz it cost $18 dollars...and need to take a lot of time to walk around in the museum..
so, we decided to go downtown of Chicago....
first destination is the Bean..

we went to the Willis Tower which is Sears Tower before. It is fifth tallest tower in the world, and used to be the first tallest building in the world

we spent the whole afternoon in the downtown of Chicago...
It's wat i see in the most of the western movie, the tower,street, building, people..
ya, to me, it felt like i m in US....
next stop, is China town..
we walked around the china town, but it was not the china town that i expected....
However, u can see chinese words, shop and restaurants...
We had Sechuan steamboat..it's pricy! eat untill i cnt breath, haha..coz it's buffet style...
after dinner we went bck to Anderson's house...spend one more night there, then the next day we are heading bck to Carbondale...




Anderson family and we, who stayed in their house.

the next day, we head back to Carbondale...
before leaving to Carbondale, we went to a Korean market, it is a big market..
a lot of stuff over there..and i found nice korea's bowl, plate, chopstick, spoon, fork and a lot of stuff...
the highlight of the journey was we had Papa Dale pizza
the pizza is very different from the pizza that we use to eat,  picture speak =)

it's double the size of normal pizza

It was a wonderful trip..my first place of visit in US...i really like it...
