A year of my life...
Comming from a small island in Norway, I wanted to take a year of school at the age of 18, and do something else before starting uni. After some jobinterviews, I ended up going to Chicago to be an aupair for one year, and I never regretted that! I had a different but GREAT experience staying with a black family, looking after their kids. They are still my good friends today.
I have been travelling quite a bit in the US, and been to New York City lots of times, but Chicago is the city that has my heart. It is not only because of my friends there, but because of the atmosphere! The city is clean, easy to find your way around, the arcitecture is beautiful and the shopping is good.
Going shopping in Chicago, you would want to go to State Street, and also walking up the magnificent mile all the way up to the Water Tower Place. Here you can find everything you may want in a relatively small area.
Of activities that you shouldn't miss, are: Navy Peer, the beach(in the summer, it is VERY cold in the winter), Sears Tower, the Cheesecake Factory, a Chicago Bulls game, the museums and aquarium, rivercruise on he river... and so much more.
People in Chicago are friendly and easy to get to know, so what if you are ready to have a good time, shopping, sightseeing and partying, this is the place for you:)
