Michigan City - Lighthouse Place Premium Outlets

It is time I do some shopping so I decided to head down to Lighthouse Place Premium Outlets.

I had to take a train from Chicago called the South Shore line to reach Michigan City.


Finally after 1 hour 30 mins of train ride, I reached Lighthouse Place.


There are a lot of shops here. Brands range from Timberland, Nautica, Guess, Polo Ralph Lauren, Liz Clairborne, Gap etc...


Time to start shopping..


Both of my hands were full after I came out of Timberland, Nautica and Banana Republic

Ha Ha... so not much pictures this weekend.

Chicago - Lincoln Park Zoo

Today is Earth Day. I decided to visit the Lincoln Park Zoo today because I knew there will be full of fun packed activities going on.



Celebrate Earth Day!


As you can see, they have a big outdoor performance going on.


And there are many stalls promoting Eco, and Go Green! Free green apples for everyone!


Of course Starbucks can't miss the show! They are promoting their new coffee, "Pike Place Roast".


Me, with the flamingos.


A huge and nice pond.


I can't resists taking pictures of the flowers lying all over the grass patches here. They are so bright and colorful. You can't find these in Singapore.

Chicago - Chinatown

The weather was as bad. As you can see, it was going to rain when I reached Chinatown. To get to Chinatown, you have to take the south bound cta train and alight at Cemak Chinatown station. I did not stay long. After Chinatown, I went back to Deerfield immediately before the rain gets heavier.

If you are Asian and probably not used to American food, you can find and buy Asian food here.


This is the famous "Nine Dragon" wall in Chicago's Chinatown.

Dim Sum can be found here.

This colorful mosaic is called the "muran".
