Today I woke up at 6 am. Gam,Didi,June and In woke up at 5:30am. I think Gam work up a little bit early than the others. We ate breakfast and packed snack, drink for the trip and then meet at George's room.
I didn't sleep well last night. I normally sleep at 11-12 o'clock lately so it's hard for me to try to sleep at 8-9 pm. I felt a little tired this morning.
George talked to the kids about travel in Chicago for a while. We talked about we want them to pay attention on things around them today. Not just talking to each other about guys and things in Thailand and gave example that George and I work really hard to take them to places. So May and Gene play guitar, if you two try to wrote a song for 6 months to show us and the day that you play on the stage we walked away and talk talk talk. What do you feel? We also talk about what they should do if they get lost. After that we gave them CTA passes to the kids and move!
We walked to CTA station which is 400 meter from the hotel. When we were waiting to cross the road, George saw In's backpack look pretty heavy so he checked it out and it came out that In carried everything for 3 days in Chicago with her. I have to walk her back to the hotel and unpack. I told her next time she should ask questions if she's not sure what she should bring with her and also our fault that we didn't check her backpack before we leave the hotel.
We finally got on the train. It's a long line but only take 25 minutes to get into the center of Chicago. We changed to another line to get to Millenium park. We visited Cloud Gate or The bean and Crown Fountain. I really like Could Gate. It's so cool. We had snack in the park and took a lot of photo. I also like the snack that we packed. It's cheese and cracker.
We walked around until 11:00 am. George and I did some of test for university student like "Write your super secret and Write the word from each picture. It's kind of fun.
After that we were going to take the bus to Navy Pier but most of the kids wanted to walk because they wanted to see the scene in Chicago and it's not a long way( 2km)
We walked and stopped for some shopping and we arrived Navy Pier around 11:45 am. We let the kids walk around inside the building for 30 minutes and then we met for lunch at 12:15 pm. I ate fried chicken menu kid. It's A LOT of food. I couldn't finished it. Also everybody who ordered kid menu but the adult menu were smaller. I have no idea why hahaha. We put all the leftover food together and go to theme park area.
In wanted to go to the toilet so I walked her downstairs to the only toilet in Navy Pier. I found Popcorn shop where is very famous for Thai people and they said it's the most yummy popcorn in the world hahha Sound amazing huh? (Garrett Popcorn). So I bought it. It's $5 for a small bag. I was so excited to show George and all the kids. George said it's tasty like I said but some of the kids felt like it's too sweet. Pokpong doesn't like it. How could it be? He likes to eat everything. Gam tried to steal from me. She used her begging face.
Oh and I can't believe In loved those ride so much. I thought she will be scared.
There're only 2 rides open in Navy pier. I think all theme park in this part of American will be open in the middle of May or beginning of June. (Summer Time) It's different from Florida where opens everyday because of the better weather.
Anyway, the kids seem to have fun with one of those ride. They rode it for 3-4 times and 1 time for fairy wheel. Gam played 4 times and she came down with motion sickness. She had a bad feeling on the bus and train after the rides. I think maybe her body wasn't so good today so those rides made her sick.
Pokpong tried to convince me to play with him but it's for BABY. Hahahah
We spent an hour in theme park and we took off to Willis Tower at 2 pm. We took the bus this time. It's empty because we're in the beginning of the bus then we took the train for 3 or 4 stations. It's very close but the sky train in the Loop is so old and slow. It looks like Harry Porter Train Station in the movie which is kinfd of beautiful.
We arrived at Willis Tower at 3 pm. There's a few people in the line so we didn't have to wait at all. We bought the tickets and watched short movie about the building then took the elevator to the 103th floor. The elevator is SO FAST. It takes 3-5 minutes to get there. We walked around. The girls went straight to shopping. We took photo and some group photo. Today we wear George's green shirt. I'm so sad because when Bangpun,Sai and Jinny made people on the train mad because they're talking too much or fall down on them because they're talking and didn't catch the train. I felt like i have to take responsibility for that too.
Bangpun, Jinny and Sai talked a lot. George has to remind them every hour to see the view on the train or see the beautiful a long the way. At one point, on the way to Willis Tower, George can't be nice anymore because George and I saw a lot of beautiful things on the way but they're talking non stop about Thai dessert in the back of us. I know that George's going to say something to them. They have too much fun talking.
We spent a couple hours on Willis Tower because we had an reserve the table at Chicago Famous Pizza opposite Willis Tower and the kids seem to be tired to go to other place and then have to come back here again. We decided to call the restaurant and change the time to 6 pm.
We walked to kill some time and went to eat dinner at Giordano's Famous Chicago Pizza. It's the same place that Bangpun's host family recommend. We ordered some appetites and 2 big pizza. Bangpun, Sai, May and Gam couldn't finish one piece. Hahaha I told them we'll not leave until they ate all of it.(My family did that to me and it makes me always think before I order.)
Chicago Pizza is different from normal pizza. It's very thick with cheese and they put meat under the flavor. It's tasty but we ate a lot of cheese before pizza came so we're almost done with cheese. George can eat 2-3 pieces by the way ;P
We're so tired at this point. While we're waiting for pizza, we're almost sleep. After dinner, we walked to the train and went back home at 8 pm.
Oh on the way back in the platform, George accidentally gone in to the elevator with half of the kids and leaved me and another half of the kids. So I have to take those kids (Gam, Pokpong,June,Didi May and Sai) to the lower floor by myself. I step in to the elevator, smell pee (as always,not weird) but what weird was I felt sticky on my shoes and I was telling myself ... No No it's not gonna be PEE.... Akkkkkk Geeeezzzzz PEEEEEEEE and suddenly we scream loudly. I tried to push the button but it didn't move so we went out from that elevator and laugh a lot. We scared and didn't want to come back to that one again but it didn't go down so we have to wait until somebody downstairs got it and we got the other one.
I just realized that the elevator didn't move because I pressed the wrong floor(the floor that we're) so it couldn't move hahahaha. This is so funny. I can't stop laughing all the way back home.
OK. Now is Drama part.
We came back to the hotel and feeling tired. I took a shower and was typing my blog on my computer. Suddenly Bangpun came to my room and talk to Gam quietly "Gam, Please come to my room, we're all crying, May's going to cry now. We'd not make it without somebody else."
I was thinking after Gam went with them.... If something really serious happened, why didn't they tell me? Ummm maybe it's not something serious...Oh or maybe they're crying because missing host's family. So I went to listen in front of the room hoping to taking video but what I heard was some problem that I don't really understand. George came to me and told me to find out so I knocked the door and asked them what happened. They said May's phone charger which is the only one charger in for both of her phones are broken. It was fine in the morning but now it's cut buy something.
Well, so what? The maid might accidentally use the vacuum and cut it on the floor or something and didn't want to get in trouble so we just called the hotel and ask for help....? Should it be that easy?
No... They talked themselves up to big scary ghost drama and CRY. They complained about microwave and refrigerator didn't work and they smell something bad from air con. So...It's a BAD DAY BAD LUCK and it might be GHOST. Oh god...
Basically, we're all tired today. So I give them the easy solution.. just call the lobby and tell them to fix what they want. and now I saw the house keeper gives them new charger. If they tell her about smell or microwave or aircondition. I'm sure she will take care of it. I wouldn't never stay in a smell room and complaint to myself and hope that the smell will gone by itself.
PROBLEM SOLVED
They made me thinking about when I was 13yo and I was in broading school with my gang, 6 girls who didn't have TV to watch and only thing we do when we're in the bedroom was TALK. One day after our parent dropped us at the school. One of my friends who her parent lived in Prachaub 4 hours from Bangkok started to cry and talk about worrying that her dad might drive home with accident.... Well the other friend from Ayuthaya started to say she worried about her dad driving home too it's 1 hour from Bangkok. And they started to cry, not so long 5 of them cry and I was so confuse about should I worry... my mom lived in Bangkok..She had to drive home from Bangkok to Bangkok. Oh my accident might happened when she stuck in traffic!!!! Motorcycle can hit her car oh NO!!
Anyway, last 2 years I went to Phukadeung with my friends and we had nothing to do only talk and talk so we built ourselves to scare the elephants and ran and scream all the way we walk (around 30 miles) But this time we're grow up and we create amazing page on Facebook that more than 60,000 people liked it and a lot of magazine and game book want us to sell ads or somebody ask permission to make a movie. It's so funny.
