Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

I never liked the word Awesome, but after 10 days in Chicago city I have to say it was AWESOME! I had a great time in this big city, The people were friendly (I stay with local people, so I got a good idea from the local life) , I saw so manny from the city Chicago and I loved the cultural en party side of this city. So manny different  cultures living together in there own neighborhoods and there own culture and festivals.

Chicago is a very creative city. Next to all the (art)festivals there is the world famous Poutryslam that all started in Chicago. We went to The Green Mill (infamous for famous patrons such as Al Capone and Charlie Chaplin, is also one of the oldest jazz clubs in the world.) and there was the host of the evening Marc Kelly Smith that started the poutryslam.

The great thing about traveling is that you can learn so much from other people and there culture and that gives me so much inspiration and creativity. Life is all about meeting people and to try to understand this world! I am always feeling like a little child when I am travel to different places, all these new things.

Its like Pablo picasso said”  All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. Traveling is for me a way to stay young and to feel like a child again. Everything is new and interesting!
