Preface---About me, a girl who travels with taste buds

I come from Hong Kong , it is a graduating senior, and many young people, like to travel, love food, love the record journey more authentic cuisine. For me, traveling is a kind of reward for myself, but also a kind of relaxation. Every time I go to a new place, I hope to use my taste buds to experience the city, because it makes me more aware of the city. real. In the past, I rarely had the habit of writing travel notes, probably because I found it too troublesome, but as I grow older, I feel that every journey is a memory for me. In order to prevent this memory from becoming blurred, I I began to use pictures and words to restore what I saw and heard during the journey, so that even after many years, I can recall the beautiful journey between the lines.

Purpose and forecast of this trip

I was always a doer, often stay away, this Chicago trip is decided in a short time, in fact, the purpose is to catch up and girlfriends, because we have not seen more than a year. This time the Chicago girlfriends trip only four days and three nights, but in fact I was in the United States To be 17 days, but mainly to visit her boyfriend in LA reading Mr. L, so do not how to go out to play, but a supplement can give you in the end the Los Angeles Food Guide, we want to help the journey.

Mexican flavor brunch, greedy. .

To Chicago, do not eat beef on the loss of your journey, ha ha

About U.S. visas

The US tourist visa is very easy to apply. I personally feel that I don’t need to find an intermediary, because the intermediary may get your information wrong and ask you to prepare too much information. Some are actually unnecessary and the visa officer will not look at it. The following recommendations more biased in favor of students to apply for American tourist visas.  

First, the visa process:
1. First, there is a picture of a white background, you can go directly to the studio to tell her US visa photograph, and then to the electronic version, you can not wash out. (I saved money so I took it myself... You can use PS! P is more beautiful, because the U.S. visa is 10 years old... You know)
2. Fill out the DS160 form. DS160 sure to fill, must be true, but there is no on relatives and friends in the United States this one does not always remember to write, no election has been like, ha ha. Just in case the visa officer thinks you have a tendency to emigrate. Http://www.ailvxing.com/info-103-22538-0.html ) This website is a guide for filling out ds160.
Please do remember when filling out the DS160 DS160 his own number, not filling out the back in order to supplement the information
3. US visa official website, Chinese mainland (the page is in Chinese, Baidu search for " US "Visa", the first one), register an account, and then start to fill in the things for the appointment interview. Fill in the middle part and there will be a payment, that is, go to the CITIC Bank to pay. If there is CITIC Bank’s online banking, you can directly use the Internet, other bank cards only You can pay at the ATM of China CITIC Bank without queuing. (PS: Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan can only use ATMs, because our ID computer can’t identify them. Keep the receipt after paying the money. Go to the counter to get the receipt, and the receipt must be kept. , above numbers are to be filled in the United States on the visa site)
4. When you pay the money back to the US visa of the site can make an appointment be signed in time.

11. Ticket order, if you have not booked it yet, you can Don’t bring
a copy of your parents’ ID.
3. About face-to-face visas: (Generally, tourist visas are ""Chinese"" Q&A First of all, please keep smiling! Smile all the way to the end, ask what to say when answering questions, try to be concise. Otherwise it is easy to be questioned. I was refused Young (immigrant) because we are a Hong Kong account, he might be curious, ask a lot of questions such as 



, In which your parents, you come to China how long, and
when he asked me my following questions
1. Do you go to the United States do? Travel, no senior class
2. You are Hong Kong people ah? You come to China How long?
3. Where are your parents? xxx
4. Which university are you at? xxx University
5. What major? xxxx
6. Then I started to look through my passport to see which country I had been to. She saw Feizhou Uganda , asked me to go to Uganda to do?
I was excited and spoke English. to Volunteer
7. Then it becomes a problem in English, you harvest what balabala help Africa Children, teach them Chinese kung fu and Chinese
8. you in the United States have any relatives? No (try to say no, otherwise there is a tendency to emigrate)
9. Is anyone going with you? No, themselves
10. You go to the United States there? LA
11. When did you go to America ? xxxx
finally, has been typing typing. Then I said congratulations. I passed and
gave me a blue paper with the time to get my passport.
🔥 [TIPS]: it would be best not to say that the United States have relatives, not to mention other countries, or because of immigrant and refused. I learned brother said his sister to marry in Canada , then rejected. Say directly to the United States Travel shopping is the best, without detailed explanation.

About air tickets

I have been to the United States twice, no more than twice the ticket money 4000rmb.
My advice is to "advance booking", of course, sometimes there are airline promotions, such as No. 5.12 Hainan Airlines domestic flight to Los Angeles round-trip ticket tax is only 1,299 yuan, but this kind of thing is not often, it is proposed in the first Look at the approximate prices on price comparison websites such as Skyscanner, and then buy according to your needs.
Personally recommend buying tickets on the two websites "Ctrip" & "Go!"
Facilitate communication problems, and can properly handle the problems
of my own for the first time to the United States because of Flights encountered when the bug. I bought a connecting ticket between Air China and Delta Air Lines, but when I arrived at the airport, the check-in counter told me that because Air China and Delta had terminated another partnership, my air ticket could not be issued, so I could contact Ctrip by myself. I was more responsible for Ctrip. I changed my flight for the next day and paid for my hotel expenses that night.
So I suggest you choose a more reliable agent! !
This time I start with China to la play for a while, way to go in Chicago , So go to Chicago time to buy is the American Delta Airlines (Delta). I am sprinting for the Delta Air Lines Platinum Card, so when I buy a ticket, I directly lock in Delta Air Lines, so I don’t look at other airlines. The price is not expensive because it needs to be transited. The round-trip tax is 1758rmb, after all. America West is to fly to the eastern United States, more than half of the United States I have passed it through, and because I have a gold card, I can check one piece of luggage for free. Normally, domestic airlines in the United States are not allowed to check baggage for free. You need to purchase a separate baggage allowance. You must pay attention!
🔥[TIPS]: Some airlines can buy baggage allowance on Taobao, such as American Airlines, and there will be a lot of discounts on the price, so babies who need it can refer to it.

About the hotel (Airbnb)

I have been heard American airbnb house is like, and girlfriends and tourist map is the ability to follow their own mind, so this time simply did not take into account the hotel. But because of the relatively late before deciding to go to Chicago , so a predetermined relatively late, relatively few houses, but we are particularly good luck, the election to the super amazing house! Not only the location is good, the transportation is convenient, and there are parking spaces, the landlord is also a financial man who knows how to live, hahaha   
This is the house we live in👇👇👇

Local traffic

Because girlfriends are driving to Chicago , so we day2 is in addition to the subway to travel outside, other times are by car, good driving skills and girlfriends, all the way is going well! 👻👻👻👻👻
in Chicago Traveling can rent a car for self-driving, you can also choose to travel by subway, you can also uber or public transport, Chicago is not like la, it is difficult to travel without a car. Chicago The public transportation is quite convenient. Many people basically commute to work by subway or bus. For example, our host does not have a car.
However, I still want to explain to you that
Chicago is a city with a relatively high crime rate, and robberies and rapes happen from time to time. I suggest you take care of your own safety.
🔥【TIPS】Try to travel by subway before 8pm! !
Although my girlfriends and I still take the subway home at 10 o'clock in the evening, we don't recommend everyone to be like us, especially if you live far away from downtown, it is recommended that you take an uber or taxi when you go home at night. Although we live only four away from the downtown station, but after 21:00, subway stations are basically black, Asian people are you not see the 🌚🌚, really glad that night safe and sound back to the host family.
👇👇 This is our car, is it cute? 

There are 8 lines on the Chicago subway, which are distinguished by different colors.
Single-ride fare is 3 knife / Zhang
1-day pass 10 knife / Zhang
3-day pass 20 knife / piece
7-day pass 28 knife / Zhang
👇 attach Chicago subway map (we ordered airbnb on the blue line Division Station)

Local humanities

Chicago next to Lake Michigan , so the wind is particularly large! Also known as: Windy City. And because it is next to the lake, you can see a super beautiful lake view in downtown, and many roads are replaced by iron bridges! Particularly like Chicago , but said the winter in Chicago great snow, great to be able to kind of bury half of the body    . Chicago is an unsafe city with a high crime rate. Many travel notes suggest not to go out after 9:00 pm. Okay, my girlfriend and I think the area where we live is safer, so we are still at home after 10 o’clock in the evening. Supper nearby. Then I went for a run in the morning. Sure enough, they are two people with very hard fate. Please ignore that my girlfriend and I were very excited that day. After running, we went to play and didn't even change clothes.   

🎀A must-have app for American travel

👇👇👇I specially built a US tag

1. YELP 🍔🍟🌭🍕🍝
"American version of the public comment"-YELP, the above evaluation is quite accurate, but I feel that there are not many people who have evaluated in the past few years. Many restaurants have opened and the evaluations are 2 or 3 years ago , But it can still be used for reference. After all, are not familiar with a place, if you did not do your homework in advance cuisine, temporary walk in may not necessarily tasty , but use it to search very easy to find at any good restaurant nearby, but also navigate directly to the price from the cheap to expensive , Divided into four levels: 💲, 💲💲, 💲💲💲, 💲💲💲💲 💲 10-20 dollars per person 💲💲 30-40 dollars per person  

2. Booking, Airbnb 🏩
First of all, if you are staying in a hotel, you must have a hotel booking app like booking or agoda, such as domestic Ctrip, eLong, and Go. Secondly, if you want to experience airbnb like me, remember to download the app so that you can contact the landlord.
👇👇👇This is the airbnb that I booked. In order to protect the privacy of the host, I deleted
his avatar and name. You can search for keywords by yourself

3. Google map ⛽️ 🚏
must have, the geographical location is really special and accurate (there are satellite real map version and normal version), and can give multiple route options and estimated arrival time, generally quite accurate, and if there is a car accident on the way Or traffic jams will also be marked (red means traffic jam, green means unobstructed). I have a lot of ant cellular United States saw the Raiders to share with the United States latitude and longitude coordinates of some attractions, I personally feel that it is not necessary, just need to remember attractions English name on it, a good collection in advance of going to, at any time on navigation Can go now.

4. Ma honeycomb 🌋
You can use your mobile phone to scan the guide when you are fine. If you see the guide you like, take a screenshot or save it in advance. Not just to the United States tour, to travel where you can go ahead on both sites or app doing the homework, the more you understand the journey would be more natural and smooth (Techno゚▽゚) Techno
and now there are many ant cellular Travel Packages tickets and various attractions of Las Vegas 's show can buy tickets at the top, very convenient! 

5. North America to save money Express, Amazon 👙 👠
If you go to the United States is not just tourism, but also to be a long time, I would suggest that you have to download a "Express" because it will often push a discount news, there is a need You can buy it and send it directly to your home, which is not only cheaper but also saves time for shopping. Hahahahaha 🔥In fact, I thought of another point later! You can travel in front in China 

Things to buy, a friend in the United States and just to see if sent directly to a friend's house, if you can not express to the hotel, so that even in China can buy in advance buy buy

Amazon feels like the US version of Taobao. You can buy everything. If you are not in a hurry to return to China, you can buy it slowly. But we must remember to switch to the US account number and address of the Oh! !

The point is that it is very clean, there are many types of steaming, and there are not many people. , Very comfortable.

All kinds of steaming rooms, each one has its own characteristics.

Gourmet

I mainly recommend five personal favorites, which are convenient for everyone to eat when traveling.
1. Gyu-Kaku
Japanese yakiniku restaurant, beef tongue is highly recommended by everyone, but my girlfriend thinks his various kinds of beef are also quite good. But its home is an online celebrity shop, and it is often necessary to line up. If you want to eat, it is recommended to book a place on the official website one day in advance.

2. Pierrot Gourmet
Brunch and dessert are the main ones . It is a restaurant under the Peninsula Hotel. It is very cost-effective and the desserts are worth trying.

3. Nico Osteria
Italian dishes, specializes in seafood, though Chicago is not a main city seafood dishes, but some restaurant food is still very fresh. This dinner is very good, you must try it (๑>◡<๑)

4.
There are many choices for RPM Steak , the soft outfit is very fashionable , the environment is like a bar, the price is relatively high, but the choice of side dishes is much more than the traditional steakhouse, it is recommended to try 

5.Bohemian House
has McNair off food, Austrian dishes and German dishes, are even more biased ideas, every dish is super unique, girlfriends strongly recommended (• ε •) ฅ

If everyone in the Chicago time is relatively long, may wish to refer to know about the almost "Juzo Itami" wrote one Chicago northern suburbs Raiders (know almost for " Chicago What delicious" you can see). Open all the way north from downtown, the scenery along the way especially the United States, in his heart of North Chicago Is the Chicago representatives spirit.
