chicago - west lafayette day 2

before we hit the sack, we planned for the places we try to visit since the time we have was way too short, thanks to my flight cancellation... gahhhhh

hopefully day 2 tour in chicago wont turn out bad...
it wasnt that bad but just.... (check out the faces at the end)

my huge backpack for another day

yes, i am a tourist
backpack- checked
bag for personal belongings- checked
map- checked!
so yea, we planned to get on public transport to save time and to save our legs but we couldnt catch the right timing, the only transportation we could catch was bus #11- WALK

the view of navy pier from the field musuem

1st stop: field museum to see sue the dinosaur skeleton!
LOL

2nd stop: shedd aquarium
then i found out that my battery was dying on me!
FML! on the day i needed to take tonnes of photos, i forgot to recharge the battery the night before...
=(

left the aquarium, strolling along lake michigan =)

when there's no kind "taiwanese dude", we have to take self shots...
taiwanese dude = a kind taiwanese helped us to take photos at skydeck and vice versa

after a long walk, we still could not find the freaking bean! and with the huge backpack on our shoulders, it wasn't all that fun, seriously...
then we saw a map with point of interests and some photos...looking at the bean, i saw some white building behind it, i marked that building as the direction we need to head to...
OF COURSE IT WORKS =)

so at millennium park, i had limited photos from my camera cz my camera decided to die after a few shots...just as well it lasted quite a while so we could get some nice pictures...

the tourists from nebraska and minnesota =)

fooling around at the bean =)
i'm so proud that we actually made it there!!!
walking since 10am till 5pm...

rented a car and off we head to west lafayette!!!

after meeting up with jay, my kind host, we went for dinner
at triple xxx for burgers
met up with some inti friends, tm and his gf, anbin, kok hong, pooi kiat
thanks boss for the dinner too!!! =)

the only word that can describe us- TIRED
the hours of walking and the 2hours+ of driving... WOW...

but i still did not sleep early cz i went back to the campus to visit my buddy!!!!!
met up with suiwan, talked for a while, met his friend...

it was all good even though i was almost crashed out...
