The Windy City

I visited the city Chicago for four days and the Windy City sure lived up to its expectation.  As Californians, we always have had experienced one of the best weather in the world.  We were expecting the worst of the Chicago weather as winter started already but fortunately the temperature was ranging between 40 to 50 degree Fahrenheit during the day, which some Chicagoans commented how unusual it was as the temperature was 20 degree warmer than the usual winter weather.  I came to experience the Chicago holiday season and I got just that and the great warmer weather that my Californian body could handle.  As usual, I planned out all my days in Chicago. I knew exactly what to do at every hour and day and the plan worked out as intended.  We visited the John Shedd Aquarium where we saw the white beluga whale for the first time, the Lincoln Zoo, Lincoln Square, the Museum of Science and Industry, Chinatown, and gave the University of Chicago a visit where the old buildings look just like Harry Potter's Hogwarts. I covered most famous Chicago attractions within the four day span and even had a walking tour around the North side of the city.  I even discovered my favorite mural called Four Season by the French artist named Marc Chagall called Four Season in the middle of the Financial District in downtown, also known as the Loop.

My time in the Windy City taught me how unique the culture is in the city.  The physical layout of most cities are similar but the culture is always different.  It helps me see what is out there in the world and how people live their life. Chicago has its own unique culture and the way it carries out its daily life just like any other cities in the world.  It is home to one of the strongest economy hub in America and to popular sport teams.  It represents big dreams of people who made them come true and it will always stand its ground as one of the most diverse culture hub and where one's dreams become a reality.
