For those of you who have been to or are living in Chicago: I need your recommendations for what to do there!

Here is why - I am (sort of) considering a 2~3-day trip to Chicago sometime in May or June. Mostly because I can get free housing from my cousin and I kind of want to get out of Boston for a change. Most likely I'll be going alone - that's why I'm still debating with myself whether I should go or not.

So, please please give me some information on what tourists can do in Chicago.

Also, if you live in Chicago or visit Chicago frequently (like I go to NYC), please let me know if you'd like to meet up when I visit!

Thanks in advance. Hopefully I'll hear from some of you soon. *^_^*

P.S. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I haven't worked on any of my blogs that much for quite some time. And for this blog in particular, I haven't shared much stuff from the internet in a while. (and I don't plan to pick it up again any time soon)

So I guess it is time to change to a name that is more justified for the current situation - now it's my doodle place!

For those of you who still want to get something out of my blog, I recommend that you visit the links I listed on the left panel, especially "My Friends' Blogs". I am sure you can find more interesting materials there than from my blog.

The only entertaining thing for my dear friends that I can come up with for now are these two pix taken in San Diego back in February (at the beach by where Scripps Institution of Oceanography/UCSD is located):

Well, maybe not so entertaining, huh?
