Kapitel 6: Chicago 15. - 16. April 2008 Als wir am Flughafen in Toronto ankamen und unser Gepaeck aufgeben wollten, wurde uns mitgeteilt, dass sich die Flugzeiten geaendert hatten und unser Flug 50 min frueher starten wuerde als wir gedacht hatten. Fuers Check-In wars somit zu spaet. Unsere Reaktion: Sch***!!!!! Wir wurden zu einem Schalter gesc...

 We got to Christine's place Friday night and Chris stated that he wanted deep dish pizza...so deep dish pizza he got. We all walked a few blocks from her place in Lincoln Park to a little pizzeria that served delicious stuffed pizza.  We were really tired from driving all day and everyone else was tired from working all day so we deci...

My trip is to Rome! A great city to visit, so many things to see. I left Chicago on the 14th of March, at 10.55 pm. It felt weird because I went straight to the airport from the school. The flight was non-stop, and it was real nice. Great meal and everything. The flight cost me $1,011.00. Okay diary, I will finish this later.

We're back home.  Since I used my cell phone to send in all my posts, they weren't very long so I hope to be adding more detail.  Also, it appears that some pictures didn't make it while others were duped, so I'm fixing that too.  Lastly, I couldn't change the city so I'm changing the map pins. Anyway, I had a blast at the Brownco...

After a night of much sleep my father, brother, Katka and I set off from Katka's place to the train station. The bags seem to be a lot heavier than I had expected them to be. Even after I had left my tent behind. Katka said goodbye on the train station and my family and I set off with the train to escort me to the airport. During the train trip ...

Since my mother's return flight to Taiwan was scheduled on August 24th, I also had to delay my return flight to Chicago until the same day. So that's it, farewell, Vancouver, one of my favorite cities in the world. Unless there is a job offer comes along, or I really don't known when I will come back to Vancouver again. There was a long layover ...

I've been in Chicago now for 3 days and this has been quite the experience already. The feel of this city is spectacular, with art everywhere - on the walls of EL stations, on the buildings, in parks. The odd thing I love though is that people will still look you in the eye as you walk past them and smile - which if you've ever travelled is pre...

I was robbed on my way to work today. It occurred at 5 am about a block and a half from my apartment. I was walking down my street headed for the El and to an early start to work when I spotted a man seated on the bottom step of a brownstone and nestled against the steel fence. I had as little time to react as I did to recognize that there was s...

While Chris waited, he toured the city on his own picking up brochures, grabbing a burrito at Burrito Beach, and visited the Museum of Contemporary Art. We went to eat some lunch at a mediocre Italian restaurant and then checked into our hotel, the Best Western Inn of Chicago at 162 East Ohio near the Magnificent Mile of Michigan Avenue. The hot...

Alrighty I arrived in Chicago and it was fairly uneventful prepped for a VERY long flight to Tokyo...
