CHICAGO
Hello hello!
So last post I promised some details about Chicago.
One church that really stood out was The Korean Church of Chicago. What an amazing group of passionate people. We had over ten chapter sign ups. So excited to see chapters springing up in Illinois whoot!
I was really impressed by the middle schoolers involvement. At first I was hesitant about showing this film to such a young age group but their reactions proved my initial concerns wrong. The questions were so intelligent and there was genuine interest, passion, and determination to fight this cause.
I was so taken back by how mature this age group was; how big their hearts were.
Guess you learn something everyday!
Justin Park of Emory and Sooyon Park of NYU took us nomads out for a night in Chicago. I forgot the name of the restaurant but we had some killer sushi. Joonsy will still confidently state that his dad’s is better.
I plan to fight this statement until he treats both Jess and me out to sushi… hehehe.
Afterwards we took the water taxi to just visit downtown. I love water taxies and because the locals take it on a daily basis because it is the most convenient way to get around, I can state this without sounding like a tourist.
Man, Chicago is so pretty at night. I still consider it to be a mini-NYC but it’s definitely winning over my heart. It’s like NYC but with wider and cleaner sidewalks. Awesome. Plus they have the bean.
Some shots of the beautiful city:
Willis Tower aka the old Sears Tower. 
Us standing in front of the replica! On our way back to Chicago we should really go up to the top.
Oh also… let me introduce you to the most high class McDonalds… ever.
Completely decked out with two floors and a parking patrol squad, we were impressed. We just drove past it/crept near it because we didn’t want to pay for parking. 
Hehe and on a personal note…
I GOT TO SEE SARAH! She’s one of my crewbies from back at school. She housed us for a night and it was wonderful to see her again. She took Joonsung and me to the bay area and Millennium Park. Jessica and Sandra were on the other side of Chicago, exploring the famous Chicago Diner. 
We’re happy people.
We’re happier when we’re with Sarah.
THE BEAN! I love this thing way too much. 
And of course the picture fountain
Overall, Chicago treated us super well.
Ah, I miss it.
Preview for the next few posts coming up:
Indiana- Cows, pigs, horses, goats, and sheep. Oh yes.
NJ/NY- WE HAVE FINALLY HIT THE NORTHEAST!
Until next time!
LiNK love,
