I had the chance to spend 2 days in Chicago just before attending the Microsoft MVP Global Summit which was held in Seattle. Most of you know that Chicago's most known nickname is The Windy City. That is a perfect nickname for Chicago because it was really so windy and so cold. To decrease the effect of cold you can get an extreme hot drink from Starbucks that you can see every five minutes on your walkpath. Also in the downtown Chicago wherever you look you can see a skyscraper. Skyscrapers were so high that the gps device was not working correctly. To feel the height of skyscrapers you can visit the Hancock Observatory at the 94th floor of John Hancock Center which totally has 100 floors. At this observatory while feeling as if you were in a plane you can see 130km(80 mile) away and 4 different states. When you see Lake Michigan, you can easily be impressed with the size of the lake, the view of of the running and cycling tracks and the beauty of the parks. You can also visit the Buckingam Fountain which was seen in the trailer of Married With Children and for shopping you can find lots of shopping malls and stores on Michigan Avenue.
