Do you believe that Dinosaurs do exist centuries ag0?

Well, I've have visited Chicago Field Museum yesterday (14th March). There are plentiful of exhibitions but we manage to see only the fossils of the Dinosaurs and the ancient Egypt. The Chicago Field Museum is know to have the world's largest, most complete, well preserved T.rex!! You really have to witness it with your own eyes. The T.rex is named Sue by the scientists. Being a carnivore, Sue is really huge and it makes me wonder how humans were able to survive at that time without being eaten by Sue and the other meat-eaters. [The picture is taken from their website. I'll upload the photograph of Sue's complete body when I'm back.]

Next , we went to view the ancient Egypt whereby there are displays of mummies and the other ceremics accessories used by the ancient Egyptians. It wasn't very spectacular considered that the Museum which I've visited at London(or was it Paris?) is more impressive.


Before we proceeded to that, we went into the Shedd Aquarium which was located beside the Field Museum. It is something like the Underwater World at Sentosa, except that it is astounding as compared to the one we have at our dinky island.

The bushy piece of vegetation with the waving yellow-green leaves at the left is not flora, it's fauna - the leafy seadragon, to be precise! It looks cute isn't it?

Next, my aunt brought us to Navy Pier where we had our dinner over there. It is similar to Singapore's Clark Quay where it is famous for its night life. However, due to the cold weather, my aunt said the place was not as crowded as it is during Summer.


We had our dinner at the food court at Navy Pier. I bought their Chicago Hotdog. The memo stated that the Chicago hotdog is the largest hotdog in the world. Eew... What a lie! It is so not nice. I still prefer the one I ate at Costco!


And My mum bought the sesame pretzel! The sour and cream pretzel at the Premium Outlets is still the best!!! I miss eating it!! Of course the food there are so expensive but I'm aware that the Navy Pier is a tourists attraction so naturally the food are more expensive. Anyway we bought a magnet with the word 'Chicago' on it. It serves as a momento. How I wish I 'm able to collect the magnets for all 50 states. Haha...
