Windy City
Was up in Chicago(aka the Windy City) over the weekend, did some shopping, lots of eating and some sightseeing whilst there. Not gonna talk too much but just gonna put a few pics up, the rest will come later when I have more time.
On our way!
After a 3 hr (boring) ride, had dim sum at chinatown
In our hotel room, Holiday Inn Chicago City Center fopr US$50 off priceline
Exploring downtown chicago
Chicago has a blend of old buildings amongst skyscrapers
Inside Niketown, 4 stories of Nike stuff, but very ex...
There were lots of people playing some kind of music including one really bad one of the sax and one joker who was dancing to some 80's dance music which was damn funny, here's an entire band playing at one of the road junctions.
Now one of the stange things about chicago is that there's a beach right beside the downtown area! Chicago is right beside Lake Michigan where the beach is, down there you can see lots of folks running, cycling, blading, somewhat like ECP but on one side you get a view of the sea and the other the chicago skyline.
johno and i doing some stupid 'deep in thought' pose
Back to downtown chicago!
Some pics I took while we were resting in a cathedral,
Ate chicago's famous deep dish pizza at Gino's East for dinner, ordered 3 personal and a side of wings but ended up tabaoing most of the stuff. It was quite filling but shiok... oh btw we queued up more than half an hour and waited 40min for the pizza!!
and now for some shots of chicago's breathtaking skyline at the top of the John Hancock Center
Will upload some other stuff later, feel free to drop me comments as I'm new to taking pictures. Hopefully part 2 will be up soon...
