CHICAGO

I spent a great time in Chicago!
I could make a memory which I had never had.
I'll tell you about one great thing of Chicago.

It's...PIZZA!
I heard Chicago's pizza is very famous and very delicious from my friend's sister, who lived in Iowa City before, so my friend mailed to her which pizza shop is the best. Her answer was "UNO"
Do you know UNO? I didn't know, but I rereaded the guide book, there was the name.
The book said it was the most famous, so you might wait 4 hours after order.
But we tried!!!

It was sooooo delicious!!!
Uno's pizza was different from my imagination, because the dough of pizza was like pie dough. I mean it was short. Also, needless to say, it was sooooo big!
I became a fan of UNO. I wonder UNO is made in Japan.

Oh! I forgot to write about my funny experience in Chicago!
When I was walking to the bus stop, I saw 3 or 4 men who were sitting on the bench and looking at us. I noticed their eyes, so I watched them. Then one of them said "Hi", so we repeated, and keep walking. They were saying something after that, but we didn't say any more, then someone shouted...




"Chicken Teriyaki!!!"



How did they know we are Japanese?? :-)

Wow, Rena, your story is sooo funny to me! They may or may not have known you were Japanese, but maybe that was the only thing they could think of that sounded Asian. Japanese food, is, of course, famous here in the U.S., especially Teriyaki. We even have Teriyaki sauce that people buy nearly as much as ketchup.

They probably wished they could talk to you guys, and then they acted silly. Ah, America...

I've heard of UNO, and I think I tried it in another city, but maybe it wasn't the same. My favorite pizza to date is in San Francisco. If you ever go there, look for Escape From New York Pizza on Haight Street. :)
