For day 2 of Chicago, we started the morning off by grabbing breakfast at the hotel, then we hopped on the L and transferred to a bus to take us to the Field Museum. As the bus started to approach the museum, I was shocked by its sheer size. It was humongous! Luckily we got there close to opening, so we had enough time to go through all the floors. The museum had a couple of special exhibits that were…
Back from my quick 3-day trip to Chicago! As usual, my sister and I ended up fitting too many things in our itinerary. Poor Tomomi must have learned the hard way how difficult it is to travel with us. =P Starting off our trip at Billy Bishop Airport, we took the ferry towards the terminal and waited in the Porter lounge until it was time for boarding.

It was super fun going to the second annual matsuri and having my first night market experience in Toronto! We started off the afternoon by visiting the ROM. I finally had a chance to see the Forbidden City exhibit. It…
