chicago/chinatown/etc - 10/1

So yesterday
Chris, Fansong
and i
went to chinatown/chicago/etc.

for the day...

that was a lot of fun

because i got to visit asia

again and see various things

and take

photographs...

after we got to chicago we made our way to

the chicago culture centre to

find out how to get to the chinese church

that we were going to attend.

after that we caught an 'l'

and took that to where the church was

minus 4 blocks of walking...no probs.

when we got there

we were locked out

but some of the yard workers

let us in,

from there we heard

praise and worship going on

and braved it by entering,

in which we were amused that

there were only 8 or so people

attending...it sounded like more, and we thought there would be.

so we sat in

and listened to pastor paul

and added to what he had to say;

it did not have a service feeling

but rather a small group of sorts.

afterwards we talked to the various people attending

and

had some ice cream cake because one of the guys in the service

had his birthday.

afterwards we caught a couple more l's to chinatown

where we walked around and checked out some stores.

i bought some bulk deformed fortune cookies inexpensively,

but i wish i knew where to get some jdm car magazines or something like that...

we ate dinner at one of the restaurants
in chinatown, good stuff but very american at the same time...

(i want some more kimchee, but that is a korean staple.)
on our way back to the train station

we ran because we were late...

in which we got back,

just to see the train leave!

we sat around and i called *C* which was brief

cause she was leaving soon,

we then went to starbucks inside of barnes and noble

and discussed the various things we

never

did...
eventually it got on the subject about the
ladies

on campus and elsewhere,

being single this felt weird- but perhaps it was weirder

for fansong whose mother asks him if he is "still alone" in this regard.

i don't know

i did not spill a lot beans

but, it was akward/weird for me.

we eventually made our way back to the chicago metro trainstation

and boarded it and were off soon enough.

i was able to get some sleep in

and yet i woke up with a leg cramp that lasted a painful

5 minutes...

i drove us back to judson

and that was it,

i watched a movie and settled into slumber after that

*fin*
p.s. pictures from chicago will be up soon, i don't have the time to do that now, i just have time to write.
