After leaving the HD Museum in Milwaukee, it only took us a little over an hour to reach Chicago. The thing that bugged us on this stretch of road was that we needed to stop at many toll roads just to get us through I-90 and I-94. We thought they should name a road after us for all the tolls we paid. We stopped at Tank Noodle in Chinatown after getting this recommendation from Bryan ...

... to homesickness. Remember, it gets very expensive for family to come visit or for you to come home so when studying abroad you're pretty much stuck there. Summer programs are typically a lot more flexible, and they can get you a lot of credit in a lot less time. On the down side, they can get to be pretty expensive, especially since it doesn't overlap with your regular tuition. Ultimately, I picked a semester ...

Chicago is such a beautiful City!! It’s clean, modern, refreshing and vibrant. The people here are just as trendy and they are all very stylish, I am impressed ...

I am currently at Chicago O'hare, ready to board the plan to Mumbai! We have a very short layover in Mumbai and then we are taking a three hour flight to Chennai. We are staying there for a day, before driving by bus 150K south to Pondicherry, where we will be staying throughout the trip! Hopefully I will be able to post a blog at the hotel in Chennai. Our flight is full, so they are going to begin boarding any minute! I'm ready to get going!Wish me a safe flight :) Love, Monica 

... Green and lush in some places and dry and arid in others. Standing on top of Diamond Head and looking over to one side, it looked like Arizona, except for that big beautiful ocean beyond it. The culture is so interesting there too, and the language. There are only 12 letters in the Hawaiian alphabet. I hope someday to explore all the other islands. It's like a dream... The whole while there, something was off though. I know myself ...

... med elevatoren op til 103. etage på 60 sekunder. Udsigten var super og man kunne se laaangt væk. Tid til at erkende bummert nummer 1. Et flot billigt kamera stativ ligger på hotelværelset i New York. Det var ikke engang pakket ud. Men stuepigen fik da en dollar OG et kamerastativ. Desværre måtte vi ud og købe et ...

I was kind of sad that today would be my last and real whole day left in Rio. So I got up extra early and decided to spend my last night out on the town and really celebrate my last day.The first thing I did was go out on the beach and see if there were any little shells that I would be able to take home as souveniers and I saw a little crab that was walking to towards the ocean.Once I collected all my shells I went back to ...

... to the domestic departures.

we grab a sandwich and set waiting to be told that all flights to the midwest was delayed.
we nothing to do lots of bags and kit carrying we could go far.

Ohare is one of the most less entertaining airports in the world there nothing to do a few shops to buy candy and a few food places thats it

... that the chances of us leaving are slim, but if people want to stay and try that's cool, if not... get off. Chaos ensued as people rushed off the plane. Others were complaining about the bathroom up front and it was discovered that someone had shoved paper towels in there and broken it. An angry New Yorker ran up to the front and told Denise, one of the two poor flight attendants on our flight, that if he didn't get food he was going to start ...

... reason to believe that either one of these names was really hers. I asked "Ernie" how the double chocolate shake was and she warned me that it was not for the faint-of-heart. She wasn't kidding. This thing was like a big melted Hershey's bar. It was good, but I started talking faster and faster as I drank it. After I finished it, I decided that I should probably head back to the hotel before I went into some kind of sugar-induced coma. Thus ended my first day in Chicago.
