My Days in Chicago
Saturday, great, cool and nice. We went to Chicago culture center not on purpose. But it changed everything.Why? It is the information center of Chicago tourism. First, we found out that there was a train tour sponsored by Chicago Architecture Association. It is FREE and brilliant. Basically we took this metro and traveled around downtown three rounds of loop line. The presentation lasted about 20 minutes. Pointer was available and very helpful. Second, we met this lady (black) in the information center. She recommended us to by a ticket called CityPass for
5 attractions including 4 museums. Also, we knew where the gallery district was and how to take FREE trolley to the museums. The map was free too. So we were so stupid to buy an expensive map.Yeh, after the train tour, we had the famous Chicago Jumbo hot dog for breakfast. I had never had this special dog before. I got to do it again. Actually I did in the next day. Next stop Navy pier. Boat, boat, and boats, Chicago men are rich, there are so many boats in Lake Michigan. From the beach I cal see the who Chicago, tower, tower and towers magnificent! Then we took a water taxi from Navy pier to Sears tower which was the tallest in the states.
From, Sears tower to gallery district was a long way. But it was worth the distance. The gallery was great. different arts along the two sides of the street. quite a few Chinese artist.Everyone can show ans sale his art there. From art gallery to water tower. you will see that those equipments were made about 200 years ago and still support the water supply of people in downtown. When we came back we did not have any energy.
Experience Summary:
Always go to information center before you do anything else or make travel plans. It is very helpful. Sometimes there might be surprises for you.
Buy a City Pass, save more than 40 dollars.
Buy an universal adapter in China.
Don’t buy a map, you can get a free one in Information center.
