Let’s visit the United States! Which cities? New York, Los
Angeles, Miami, and maybe, Chicago. I thought the Windy City was just another big city:
tall buildings, concrete, chaotic traffic, busy people, and pollution. Of
course, these things exist there as well as any metropolis. However, Chicago is
highlighted among other American cities because of many factors: History, entertainment,
a range of restaurants, deep-dish pizza, and traditional music. But honestly, I
have to say that even though Chicago has a very interesting history that
inspired many movies and books, we cannot define a culture of a city after a
short visit. Indeed, I admit that the Chicago entertainment's system is awesome. It does
not lack interesting things to do. Even though I stayed in Chicago for a very short time, I
already can say that I loved the city. I do not want to be rash and say that
Chicago is the best city in America because I have not visited many cities in
the United States; In spite of this, I would say that I can see myself living
there in the future.

My experience in Chicago was
amazing. I have been in some big American cities as Boston, New York City and
Philadelphia, and none of those cities compare with the beautiful views of
Chicago. I had known a little piece of the downtown, but it was enough to I realize
that it is a city that I would live. The lake is beautiful and it gives to the
city a charming view from the buildings, I have been at the Navy Pier and the
view from the lake and the city impressed me, I would like to see that again,
but in the summer.
The Field Museum gave me another
perspective about museums. It showed me what does have behind of an exposition
as a hard working form researchers. The Aquarium was really great, I have never
ever in somewhere like that, so that was really new.
Other new experience were the
John Hancock Observatory and the Skydeck, those buildings gave me a mixer of
scare and wonder. I like so much been in Chicago, I will save the experience to
be in a place that was “stage” of many famous movies for my whole life.
Chicago
Chicago is the third biggest city in United States. It is located
on Illinois State. This city is commonly called The Windy City. I have spent 3
days in Chicago at Renaissance Blackstone Chicago hotel with my classmates and
professors. We have visited different museums and high buildings. We have been
visiting some famous places as Skydeck building, John Hancock building, Shedd
aquarium, field museum and art institute of Chicago. Chicago is beautiful, big,
clean, organized and there are much culture to look there. I learned more about
this incredible city. I have visited New York City, so when I compare both
cities, I can see how Chicago is more organized than New York. I had a good
time there, but the time that we spent there was not enough to learn everything
about its culture and people. I realized how people who live there, are very
polite and friendly with tourists. I want visiting Chicago again with more time
to spend there because I want visit places that I have never been, and also I
would like to visit new clubs and restaurants. River Falls is very small, so is
not possible to know many new places here. Everybody should visit Chicago once
to have a good time.
How Chicago was for me.
I have never been in
Chicago before the trip we took last week. Chicago was the third big city I
visited here in the USA. Before it, I have been in Minneapolis and New York.
For me, Chicago has a lot of similarities with Minneapolis, but I would say
Chicago is more beautiful and the atmosphere of the city makes you feel better.
It happens probably because Chicago is besides a great lake, what makes the
famous nickname of the city: The windy city. There is a lot of interesting
things to do in Chicago, and the one that I most liked was the Shedd Aquarium.
There, you can see more than 32,000 fishes from almost every place in the
world, and I could all different kinds of fishes, since the weirdest ones until
the most wonderfully colored ones. Another interesting thing was the famous
dish pizza. I don’t have enough words to describe how big the stuff was. It was simply filled with a lot of
cheese, meatballs, pepperoni, and seasonigs. That 2 fingers of stuff was
incredibly good and after two slices I was feeling stuffed. Comparing with New
York, I thought Chicago a better city to live. The traffic is not too heavy as NY,
and the streets are not so crowded. Also I realized that the population in
Chicago is more polite, so tourist can handle it easily when looking for
information.
Chicago
Chicago, the city known like the wind city,
one of the most beautiful city that I have seen in the U.S. I could learn a
little about the culture and people there were very nice and friendly. I have
been to Shedd Aquarium where I could see whales, dolphins, sharks and jellies
which I had never seen before. Also, I've been to the Art Institute of Chicago
where I saw many sculptures and its holdings include American art, European and
American decorative arts, Asian art, modern and contemporary art, and
architecture and industrial and graphic design. I've been to cloud gate too. I
took a lot of pictures with my friends, and it was very fun. I did not go to
John Hancock Observatory because I had no time, but my friends have been there
and they told me it was wonderful. I had a great time with teachers and friends
and I would like to thank for this opportunity.
Chicago trip
The windy city was really different than I thought. Mainly because I did not know that Chicago was a place of great changes as the period of alcohol prohibition, the large variety and amount of people that settled there. Chicago has an interesting history, and since then I walk around there their people it's less strange to me, they do not are "difficult to talk" or something like to become friend easily. I enjoyed visiting the museums, the aquarium, Sky Deck, take a bus, a metro and even just walk around. The hotel was really nice, very beautiful, I am happy to had been there. Therefore, I would like to visit again some day, since now, it was the only city in U.S.A. that I liked more.
Chicago!
Chicago is a beautiful city. I saw Chicago just in movies such as a big city, a lot building and a lot people. That trip offered me to look Chicago beyond that. Some movies that were recorded in Chicago such as Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Untouchables, My Best Friend’s Wedding and Chicago, showed me some places and famous building such as John Hancock Observatory and Sky Deck Building. Also I could see a little of the Chicago culture. Though, when I visited Chicago, I learned a lot of things about culture, because I visited The Field Museum – that museum showed me a lot of things about world culture and history – the Shedd Aquarium – that aquarium showed me many animals that I never see, for example the jellies, those I think that were interesting animals – and The Art Institute of Chicago – that museum there were a lot of famous painting, sculptures and armors. I knew some famous building like the John Hancock Observatory and Sky Deck Building, where I got to see Chicago from above. The Navy Pier, it is a place where there were a lot of ships and boats. From there I saw the light’s Chicago and the frozen Lake Michigan, it was awesome. Thus, I considered that Chicago is a fantastic city.
Watch Chicago!
