The Harold Washington Library
On January 16th, I went to the Harold Washington Library wich is one of the largest public library building around the world. The building has a beautiful architecture and history.
I think the most surprising aspect of Chicago is how big is the city comparated with Chile. I think the people are respectful and nice (obviously there are exceptions). I also had the opportunity to talk with people from different countries and practicing my English.
I think the food is delicious but expensive and I miss chilean food. My favorite meal was chicken with sweet and sour sauce. And the least favorite one was black bean salad.
On the other hand, I think the weather is according to the season´s city but I would like to come in a few months more and enjoy the sun.
I have enjoyed every day since I arrived to the city. When I knew the snow I was very excited because I knew not. I think the architecture and history of each place are beautiful.
My daily life in Chile is very stressful because I'm studying Engineering and I don´t have free time. And although I also miss my family, friends and food I´m enjoying every place I visit and everything I do. I will never forget this experience.
Your pictures are gorgeous! Yes, the summer months are very different in Chicago. Because we suffer through the cold, snowy winters, it is exceptionally cheery and warm. You have the unique experience to be able to experience a typical daily life in Chicago. I suggest talking more with strangers, such as shop clerks and bus drivers. Chicagoans are usually very friendly when approached. Since you are studying engineering, hopefully you are finding aspects of Chicago very interesting. Please let me know if you have a specific interest or place you want to visit.
