No hi ha res millor com trobar un McDonald's obert quan arribes a una ciutat desconeguda. I'm loving it! para-pa-pa-pa. Realment et fa sentir com a casa quan no tens casa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;No tenir cap mena de prejudici quan arribes a un lloc nou és el millor que et pot passar. Per això puc dir sense cap mena d'influencia..que aquesta és la segona ciutat que més em va agradar de tot el viatge. És un lloc per quedar-s'hi a viure, segur i tranquil, modern i original. Amb el seu metro en forma de loop sostingut sobre una estructura de fusta enorme (sembla l'Stampida de Port Aventura). Enlloc he vist tantes botigues d'art, escoles i tallers com a Chicago.  Em van agafar unes ganes boges de comprar material i posar-me a pintar!!! També s'ha de dir que hi ha el millor Museu d'Historia Natural del món, ...així com el millor Zoo està San Diego...o això diuen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BsWAhv5GK3E/TdF5k5alFfI/AAAAAAAALzU/gYSUHqCpBqY/s1600/213.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 146px; height: 110px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BsWAhv5GK3E/TdF5k5alFfI/AAAAAAAALzU/gYSUHqCpBqY/s320/213.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607396685847533042" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;El primer que em va cridar l'atenció va ser el tràfic de gent. Potser perquè encara estava adormida, o perquè tenia tot un dia per endavant per descobrir la ciutat i m'ho prenia amb calma, però recordo haver-me sentit desbordada al entrar al metro. Molta més gent que a Times Square!!! Tot d'executius trajats amb el seu cafè a la mà corrents en totes direccions i jo com una formigueta aturada mirant els gratacels plantada al mig del carrer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per integrar-nos ràpidament, vem esmorzar a cal Mcdonald's ...després de deixar la pesada bossa de backpackers a les taquilles de l'estació.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amb el cafè a la mà i una petita bossa de supervivència chic em vaig passejar per la ciutat buscant el daypass. Vem acordar amb l'Edu pujar a la Sears Tower, el 5è edifici més alt del món (els 4 primers estàn a Asia).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qDJjL0DsDy0/TdGC7pR2dhI/AAAAAAAAL1U/pInQFTochXM/s1600/b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 105px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qDJjL0DsDy0/TdGC7pR2dhI/AAAAAAAAL1U/pInQFTochXM/s400/b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607406972257596946" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Recordo un lleuger mareig al arribar a l'ultim pis per haver pujat l'ascensor tan ràpid. A dins, apretats com sardines ens anavem mirant uns als altres a veure si entrava en pànic algú, ..però no va passar res! Quines vistes més espectaculars!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Després de passar per la biblioteca pública i fer un canvi de roba tipus lluvia de estrellas al lavabo vaig escriure un mail fugaç dient que estava viva (vaig alucinar tant amb el wàter que li vaig fer una foto, tenia un plàstic que corria sol quan aixecaves el cul..^^)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N9yT4YiT7jQ/TdGDfotD2KI/AAAAAAAAL1c/c3BO0--w3dc/s1600/c.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 124px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N9yT4YiT7jQ/TdGDfotD2KI/AAAAAAAAL1c/c3BO0--w3dc/s400/c.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607407590578575522" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Buscant el barri gay de Chicago vaig anar a parar al barri chino. L'Edu va seguir el seu recorregut d'edificis alts...jo amb un en tenia prou.. després d'haver pujat a tots els de NY. Vaig dinar en un tailandès sospitós amb una especie animal desconeguda com a topping, tenia tanta gana --i l'estómac tan resignat que va entrar molt bé, sense protestar. A l'Edu no li agrada innovar, ..em va dir que va anar a un Pizza Hut, no coments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iIIMfyN4rZo/TdLIydyM9_I/AAAAAAAAL1k/QhhE9wtn4r8/s1600/aa.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 101px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iIIMfyN4rZo/TdLIydyM9_I/AAAAAAAAL1k/QhhE9wtn4r8/s400/aa.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607765255343896562" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Després de passar per Chapters i comprar un altre llibre de filosofia 'Einstein and Buda: parallel thinkings' vaig recórrer totes les botigues de roba del carrer més comercial. Curiosament, des d'aquest viatge sempre m'agafen unes ganes boges de comprar llibres quan arribo a una ciutat. És un problema després decidir si desfer-te'n o quedar-te'l. Tots menys un els vaig anar deixant o perdent pel camí.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quan les cames ja començaven a flaquejar vaig treure el màxim de rendiment al daypass agafant una vegada i una altre el metro per recórrer el LOOP de fusta. Durant gairebé una hora vaig estar vivint en bucle. Recordo sentir la veu gravada d'una dona per la megafonia del metro dient una vegada i una altre: 'Please stay away from the door. This train is going to..' Vaig pensar que era extremadament exagerat repetir-ho cada mig minut....es va tornar gairebé familiar.D'aquelles coses que fas quan et sobra temps i estàs massa cansada per seguir de peu però no et vols perdre res: agafar el metro en una direcció i en una altre (el metro de Chicago és a l'aire lliure). Vaig pensar: és curiós com canvien les coses quan les mires en un sentit o en un altre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QxIs9jNjIxU/TdLJcOhrY0I/AAAAAAAAL1s/wdMZUvHC9gM/s1600/bb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 100px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QxIs9jNjIxU/TdLJcOhrY0I/AAAAAAAAL1s/wdMZUvHC9gM/s400/bb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607765972802560834" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Vaig trobar-me amb l'Edu davant d'una botiga de còmics. Vem entrar a remenar tot i saber que no podiem dur més pes. Estaven d'oferta i és impossible resistir-se a una botiga de gangues, encara que portis 10kg de pes a l'esquena.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Després vem descobrir l'altre part de la ciutat: el port, la platja, ..i finalment el Museu d'Història Natural. A la plaça de la 'cara' hi havia una projecció sobre una superfície vertical davant d'un llac artificial. La noia del video anava fent expresions i passava per tot d'estats d'ànim diferents: estava trista, decepcionada, pensativa, contenta,alegre, exaltant..vaig esperar que reflexés el meu estat d'ànim per a fer la foto. Aquest és un bon exemple de l'atac massiu de cultura i art que vaig rebre estant en aquesta ciutat. No em volia perdre res!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A poc a poc s'anava fent fosc..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OFeLJiogKfA/TdLJiT_8N2I/AAAAAAAAL10/yxsQwtQtypw/s1600/cc.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 114px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OFeLJiogKfA/TdLJiT_8N2I/AAAAAAAAL10/yxsQwtQtypw/s400/cc.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607766077350885218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Anavem l'Edu i jo passejant pel carrer quan de sobte vem sentir una olor meravellosa a pastís, ..una olor com a canyella, no se com es diu en català - cinnamon -. Encara quedaven unes quantes hores per agafar el bus, així que vem seguir la olor!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venia d'un Dunkin Donnuts..^^ Després d'asaltar la botiga vem anar a sopar a la plaça del ovni cafè i donnuts. Si et posaves a sota l'ovni et veies reflectit i deformat, el lloc ideal per fer el gilipolles i riure un rato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U_PUziU1rnk/TdLUPvgc-4I/AAAAAAAAL18/qVQPL2Z26R4/s1600/237.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U_PUziU1rnk/TdLUPvgc-4I/AAAAAAAAL18/qVQPL2Z26R4/s400/237.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607777852945398658" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Moments de reflexió, caient la nit a la ciutat de Chicago&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vem descansar una mica i vem posar nota a la ciutat, després de parlar  amb un sensesostre sobre la vida i divagar una mica, vem donar-li els donnuts  que ens quedaven i vem desfilar cap a l'estació...esperant que el bus  anés buit per poder dormir en dos seients i estirar les cames..^^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1848750125561990794-5544408914943797469?l=goingtothesummit.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1848750125561990794/posts/default/5544408914943797469'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1848750125561990794/posts/default/5544408914943797469'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goingtothesummit.blogspot.com/2011/05/chicago-es-mereix-un-post-part.html' title='Chicago (es mereix un post a part!!)'/><author><name>T/\T/\</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09934154934516558775</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BsWAhv5GK3E/TdF5k5alFfI/AAAAAAAALzU/gYSUHqCpBqY/s72-c/213.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848750125561990794.post-2394055541521124560</id><published>2011-05-16T20:27:00.008+02:00</published><updated>2011-05-16T21:03:00.843+02:00</updated><title type='text'>3 years later: Recapitulation</title><content type='html'>Acabo d'adonar-me'n que han passat 3 anys des d'aquell meravellós viatge pels EEUU.
