Chicago Trip

I went to Chicago in last thanksgiving break. It was the first time I planned to travel a city which I had never been. I needed to make the schedule about the whole trip by myself. It was so excited. Before the trip, I bought the ticket in Greyhound station and it was cheap. I chose travel there by bus since the bus ticket was much cheaper than the air ticket and Chicago is near Iowa City. I had checked and memorized the map of Chicago when I still had class before thanksgiving break. I have found all rotes which could get the place I needed go and I wrote them on the paper with the wallet. However, I still didn’t know many places I wanted go when I was in Chicago, but it didn’t affect my Chicago trip.

In the trip, I went to many stores, museum and art institute. I understood much knowledge from the museum and art institute through this trip. On the other hand, there were many stores and I could buy anything I want there. I arrived the Michigan Avenue which was the best shopping place in Chicago. I bought a lot of goods and really had fun.

I did not only visit these places, but also visited the China Town in Chicago. It is really big and I stopped by there many times in the trip. There were many kinds of Chinese food which I could not eat in Iowa City. There were delicious and attractive for a Chinese student liked me.

I was so happy to get Chicago, even though there were only few days. It was so nice what I could make a plan of the trip by myself.

Very brave and organized to plan it and carry it out all on your own! I like Chicago. I'm planning a trip there for spring break with Lochlan. He wants to see "t-rex bones"!
