Chinatown Chicago


It was one of those sticky, humid and cloudy days last Sunday. So, what to do best: go for nice food in a restaurant with airco. Staszek took me to Chicago's Chinatown. The area is not so big, but you'll know that you have arrived in the Chinese neighborhood. All signs are in Chinese, streets are sometimes doublenamed, or named in honor of some well-known Chinese person, shops with 1000 sorts of ginseng, dried seahorses and tea, furniture, toys, small real turtles seemed to be in fashion too. And of course the smell of food and that is what we came for. We were not disappointed: great Chinese food in huge American portions. Next time we can order one third of what we ordered this time and still have trouble finishing it!
