We don't have custom to take long vacation in Japanese business scene, I think I need one at least once a year. That is why I went to Chicago in late November. My friend kindly toured me around, so I could enjoy almost all of great site of Chicago. Streets were fantasticly decolated in Christmas color, and what is better, it wasn't cold!! Global worming wave came over the city, too... I went to two of the best view of chicago, Sears tower & John Hancock Center and could enjoy having cocktail. Chicago is also famous for modern architecture, the walking tour we took told us various insights about shape of window, material of walls, and history of the city itself. Not only the tour, I really enjoy first-time ice skating, (sorry for my friends who couldn't enjoy themselves because of my dangerous toddling), getting tasty Chicago style pizza(thanks Giordano's!), an visiting Evanston to take a look at campus, even in short weekend.

A cool cell phone I found my friend using while wating in line for John Hancock building observatory, which wasn't introduced to Japan yet, finally landed on Japan in Dec. I gotta get it...
