Look beyond what you see...

My kind of tawn.. Chicago is..

mood: Jetlagging like there's no tomorrow
craving: Pampering all over

Chicago is definitely added to the list of my fav cities.. everything about it was beautiful.. From their magnificent “wannabe beach” lake lol.. to their super friendly people.. beautiful, actually BEST, weather ever.. skyscrapers & parks.. It was like a mini, yet very clean & minus sirens, New York.. (I still *heart* NY too)

First day we took a double-decker, open top bus tour of the city & we were lucky to have a very funny tour guide.. Who drove us infront of Oprah’s house & started screaming her name out of the mic to come out!! LOL

The buildings were breathtaking.. Nearly each of the buildings had a story & there were alot of movies shot around there too..

Chicago Buildings

Doesnt the Trump Tower look like Burj Dubai minus a needle?

When I first saw this, I cringed on the sight of the cars being parked right at the edge.. Apparently these buildings were inspired the famous cartoons “The Jetsons” & were built sometime during the 70ies.. (according to our guide)

Jetsons inspired

Check out the cars parked at the edge (>_<”)

While we were on the bus, a blimp was flying above us, I had to take this shot =p

I also realized in this recent trip to the US that they now have one dollar coins.. apparently recently introduced? Anyone seen them before?

Anyways that’s all for now.. I have so much MORE to share and talk about.. but for now I better try to sleep & fix this jetlag =/

I will leave you with Frank Sinatra’s Chicago song..

final whisper: Deny everything

    That’s the Sacagawea dollar coin I believe. It’s been around for quite some time now, if I’m not mistaken.
