Chicago 5D4N - Final part

Hi guys,

here's the last part of my Chicago Trip... Day 4 was supposed to be the last day at Chicago. However, due to a traffic jam, I was late for my flight back to Philadelphia. As such, Airtran arranged the next possible flight to Philadelphia for us free-of-charge (not bad for a budget airline lah). The next flight was at 0545 on day 5... so i guess day 5 wasn't really that interesting too ya?

Right, here's what happened on day 4. After checking out of our hostel, Philip and I just walked around downtown to catch a last view of the city. After sending some postcards and letters, we tried to make our way to Hyde Park to check out the University of Chicago. However, as we got onto the subway, we decided to drop Chinatown a visit before we go to the university. So here's some pictures... quite a nice place... but just looks kinda standard for a Chinatown.

Think they were celebrating taiwan national day initially

Ok... after lunch, we made our way to the university and took some pictures before we met You An to make our way to the airport. As you know by now, we missed the plane and thus stayed a night at his friend's place. His friend's name is Yikley and we have to thank him for the one night free accomodation.

Below are some pictures from the University of Chicago. I find the place serene and highly suitable for academia... Maybe I should apply here for grad studies... haha... (for those who still don't know, i might serve my URA bond and then move on to do grad studies after). The faculty there is also very successful and famous. Here are some pictures:

Rosenwald Hall (their econs dept) - I took this photo without knowing

The all-famous Chicago Graduate School of Business

Taking a picture with the econs faculty... (hahah... their pictures)

All right, that sorta concludes my Chicago trip, albeit a disappointing ending... But Chicago would definitely be a city that i recommend you guys to visit... its nice, its clean and its definitely worth visiting!
