Only in small towns can you get to enjoy the forest and lots of green in your front and backyard! The above is the view from my aunt’s friend’s front yard. We were there to help flower her plants as she and her husband were away on vacation. Inside her house, she has a wall...

Spending One Day Sightseeing In Chicago (Part 1 of 2)
Took the iconic Chicago ‘L’ (short for elevated) train to get to town today to first meet up with my ex-colleague before doing more sightseeing. The oldest sections of the ‘L’ started in 1892, so that explains why they’re not willing to give up the wooden boardwalk feel to the lines! We arrived at the...

Greetings From Chicago!
It’s my first time in Chicago and the main reason why I decided to go there was because I thought that it’s airport is the best to reach my aunt’s place in Wisconsin. However, I didn’t mind it because the last time I’ve ever been around Chicago was merely the airport. Once again, I booked...

When you’re in New York, you have to watch a musical or a play. Unless you hate either. Otherwise, either go online to book your tickets or stalk the TKTS booths in Times Square for discount tickets. I chose to buy my tickets online because I wanted to be ensured of tickets to “The Book...

Greetings from New York City!
That’s us fresh after a shower because 24 hours of flying does make you want to jump into the shower first. As there are 3 of us, we rented a 2-bedroom apartment via Airbnb and it’s really nothing much so no point taking photos of it. However, it’s located on the Upper West side (although...
