First Night and a bit of second day at Chicago...
So.... we took the Amtrak train, from Michigan Ann Arbor to Chicago Union Station.... (Chicago union station ) from there, we walked to Quincy... a stop in the famous loop, and took a elevated train to Adam/Walbash on brown line.... Change to red line and travel to Howard, and then again, change to Purple Line to get to Noyes... the whole journey from Michigan Ann Arbor to Chicago Union Station took 4 hrs and 45 minutes, while the journey from the Union Station to Northwestern took slightly more than 2 hours.... because of some renovation works at some of the line...
We we supposed to meet Nizar at his dorm at Northwestern University... but then, becoz of some delay here and there, and we it was too late for Buka Puasa (Break Fast)... so, he went to the Pengarah's (Director's) house without us... too much... luckily, he left us a note and gave us a lot of information, about Teng's, Hung Wei's and Xian Mei's phone no....
and fortunately, we were able to contact Teng Da Man... and he brought us to had Burger King for dinner.... Augus Cheese & Bacon is nice.... really nice... maybe becoz i skipped my lunch, that's why i had super huge appetite... and everything taste better when u are hungry... and i was darn fucking hungry... so...
after dinner, we took a walk around... we walked to the "beach"of lake Michigan.... and f**k me, the wind was ultra huge and the temperature was super low ,the wind was blowing at 30 miles an hour... however, being an avid photographer(although i only own a Canon Powershot A70 amatuer-semi digicam....) i endangered myself to the freezing wind, and get some wonderful shots with my numb fingers.. the weather was so bad that all u need is a good 30 seconds and u will start to feel the numb in all ur fingers, forcing u to stuck ur hands back into ur pocket... and i really regretted for not bringing my gloves....

the Michigan Lake is really huge.. it is so huge that u can put the entire Malaysia Peninsular into the lake.... so... we walked around Northwestern University and basically, just walking.... Chatted with She Ting and He Teng... so nice... Northwestern is quite cozy and nice...
at about 9.30pm, Nizar was back from the Director's home...both of us(KY and I) went to his room and crashed there for the night... and watched some stupid shows like Jerry Springer and ... we did nothing much, accept discussed with Ting Ann, HsinYi, May Ying about our plans at downtown Chicago on the following day... in the end, i decided to go to downtown chicago first, to visit a few tourist spots before meeting them at University of Chicago... becoz by doing so, we can safe time on unnecessary travelling....
so , we woke up at 7.30am the next morning... after bidding goodbye to Nizar, we went to meet KengYang's senior (at Northwestern), Yee Chin, and she brought us to had coffee, and then to the beach...vand then to take a train to downtown....from Evanston..(Davis Stop)
from there, we travelled to downtown Chicago, went to the Aquarium...tbc....
