A Simple Me... in my Simple World

3rd day starts with a trip to Christkindmarket. Its a charming German American Holiday Festival for families and friends. We had brunch of German Hotdog aka Bratwurst and also delicious potato pancakes with home made warm apple sauce... and i also had German style kaching puteh.. its almonds coated with Rum.. its damn yummy lar... but have to eat it warm.. once it gets cold, the coating will get realli hard...so not too nice...

did some shopping at Old Navy. Mr Ong bought some tees and jeans. I bought some polos for little bro and daddy...

then we move on to John Hancock Tower. It is a 100-story, 344m tall skyscraper, currently the fourth tallest building in Chicago and the sixth tallest in the US after the Willis (previously known as Sears) Tower, the Empire State Building, the Bank of America Tower, the Trump Tower and the Aon Center.

We were going to the Skydeck Oberservatory located on the 94th level. Its a 360 degree view and u could see most of Chicago... Everyone will have the Multimedia Guide, narrated by David Schwimmer fr Friends, on the view fr the top.

The view was breath-taking, and it was realli nice and you could see alot of things... and we managed to catch the sun set.. it was very romantic...

We end the day by having dinner @ Bubba Gump Shrimps Co & Market. Its a theme restaurant fr the movie Forrest Gump... the shrimps are damn fresh and its very nice...

2nd day of our Chicago trip started with excellent weather. Clear blue sky and the sun was shinning..

Chicago is best know for its artistic, romantic & beautiful tall skyscrapers, buildings, parks and sculptures.

The day after Thanksgiving is also known as Black Friday. Where its a day of crazy shopping... everywhere have crazy sales and prices really drop like crazy.. not like in SG, when there is a sale, not much discount was given.

Hence, we planned a trip down to the famous Magnificent Mile where u can find all the brands u can think of...

We also had the famous Deep Dish Pizza that Chicago is famous for.
Went to the Hershey's Chocolate store. Crazy shopping at Coach, Victoria Secrets etc...

ppl shop as if everything is FREE...
