Things over A Few Days About a week passed since I arrived in Chicago. Since setting up a new life has been busy, I haven’t studied, prepared for recruiting or travelling in the downtown. I finally received my furniture from IKEA. I bought them on Aug 8, so it took as long as a week! After receiving them at 3pm yesterday, I spent hours to assemble my desk, chair and bed. Last night I had a gathering with members with who I’m going on a trip to Argentina from tomorrow. I came back home at around 11pm, so I couldn’t finish assembling my bed. So today I continued assembling it and on the way I realized one thing. One part is missing!! It’s a center beam which is fixed across top and bottom to support a mattress on my queen bed. Without it, you cannot put a mattress… That was really irritating and disappointing because I have to go to IKEA again and I can receive it after a while… However, my friend help buy it and arrange the delivery to my house on my day of arrival at Chicago from Argentina. I really appreciate my friend. Apart from furniture story, I went for dinner with my new friends. How this happened is that I’m sharing mobile family plan with one guy, who is from Hong Kong and studied and worked in the US. I asked him for dinner and I also brought my two Japanese friends. Since I was craving for Chinese food that time, I proposed to go to China Town to eat Sichuan food. The restaurant where we went was really nice (Of course, really spicy)! I got really satisfied with the food and it was a fun night. But, the problem as always was the next day I got upset stomach. However, I cannot stop eating spicy food! I’m leaving for Argentina tomorrow and so excited!!
