I left Charlottesville (CHO airport), transit Charlotte (CLT airport) and land on Chicago (ORD airport) at July. 1. Since I had no plan here, I wasted one day at hotel Hilton. The Hilton at O’hare airport was excellent, if you do just transit, it would be great to stay there. Because the hotel is very close to airport, only you need to 2-3 mins walk. You should have your luggage, so this is huge advantage. So, the first day, I just tried transportation to know how to move around Chicago. My journey actually began on 2nd day.
On the second day, I went to the museum of contemporary arts in Chicago. I love to go to Museum of arts. The contemporary arts tell me how it is difficult to be creative. I can see the struggling of artist on the arts. Sometimes, it looks foolish, and many times, the artist would have failed to be creative. Especially in 21th century, this creativeness would be more important. It is because any duplicable works will be done by machine and computer.
And Navy pear, I loved this place. Although just that day was week day, I found many people on the pear but not so many, it was very comfortable. The pear was warm, peaceful, sunny, and a full of green and blue color. I spent 2 or 3 hours for napping and reading. It was good time.
On the third day, I went to Chicago history museum. Actually, on that day was July 4th. I was good timing. Building the country is hard work, many people worked hard to build system. Also people have been fought for democracy, civil rights, race, gender, equality of wealth and education. We should not forget. That’s reason why we need to learn and preserve our history not to do them again. And also, good things are people have been building the culture, knowledge, systems to live in peace. There is always hope for future. And I just walked around the city and happened to stop by Millennium Park, another peaceful day.
1776, July 4th, American declared independence and started the war against British. I believe that whatever the individuals believe, Americans can be back to this point. The point is where the country started.
So, the final day in Chicago, I went to Sears tower, the tallest building in the world. I enjoyed watching city from it. I could see a lot of large buildings, beautiful seashore, cars in Chicago. That was exciting experience. The price of picture is too expensive though, I bought it. One point I would like make is building city or country is not easy job. It takes a lot of time and a lot of contribution of people and money. And also, the building was built private company that amazed me. A lot of technology and engineering was developed during building.
So I am writing this. And I am leaving to LA tomorrow early in the morning to stay there for the next week. I am looking forward to it.
