When I was an exchange student in the United States, I got a chance to travel to
Chicago for the first time during my school break. My friends and I wanted to save
some money. So, instead of flying to Chicago, we drove there. I was not allowed to
drive because I did not have a driver’s license, so my friend, Nick, was the driver. Do
you know how long it took us to get there? It was six hours.
Once we arrived in Chicago, we checked into our hotel and rested. Then we went
around and had dinner. We had Chicago’s famous deep-dish pizza as dinner. We were
told that we had to wait at least 45 minutes for the pizza to be cooked; we waited. It
was worth the wait because it was so delicious.
The next day we went to the famous Skydeck building to see the view of the city.
The view was breathtaking. Everything was white because it was covered with snow.
We also went to take pictures with the famous Reflective Bean in the Millennium Park.
It was so crowded. A lot of people came to take their pictures with the silver Bean.
This trip to Chicago was so memorable and fun. That was my first time traveling
with friends. I got to learn a lot from visiting different sites and museums when I was
there. I really hope I will have a chance to visit Chicago again.
