A Day In Chicago

We left Northern Illinois University (NIU) at 8.00 a.m. and arrived at Chicago an hour later. It was windy and very chilly. Soon we got into Willis Tower building. Very strict security check-up, our photos were taken and they scan our bags, coats us.We went up the skydeck and took photographs. We did a little in- sky shopping too.


Then we went over to the other side of the lake to get the view of Chicago skyline, very beautiful, Insy Allah one day Kota Bharu will have that kind of skyline. Then we went o Cutural center of Chicago. Next was the Millenium Park, sangat cantik viewnya, subhanallah! Dia orang boleh maintain tempat begitu cantik why not us?






Kemudian kami ke Art Museum. Then jam 12 (Zuhur, 11.30 a.m. , Asar 2.30 pm, Maghrib 4.30pm) others sibuk cari tempat lunch kami cari tempat sembahyang. Alhamdulillah chaperone kami ( Mat Salleh), gi tanya kat info desk, dan kami dapat good place to pray.


Then he took us to an Arab Restaurant for halal food. First time in 8 days we got a taste chicken. Kami balik ke Millenium Park, ingat nak try ice-skating tapi queue too long, terus jalan-jalan .





We had dinner at Noodles & Company (after solat Maghrib), so we went for buttered noodles and Pad Thai, semuanya vegetarian. Then we had a stroll along Chicago River, enjoying the scenic night view. I guess other people from other countries were busy shopping, we didn' have much to spend tambah lagi Muaz left his money at home.



We left Chicago around 6.45pm (already Isyak), and arrived at NIU at 8 p.m.
