Tour in Windy City

Just a short one before bed -

Went to West Towne Mall tonight with a really full bladder, and the bumpy bus ride really didn't help at all! By the time I reached the mall I could hardly walk, but had to hobble to the toilet anyway.

Well, no reptiles =( The shop's now selling these gigantic land hermits, they eat dried food like dogs and don't need water! Damn why is it that we can't keep animals like that in Singapore? It's not as if these hermit crabs will escape and eat someone up isn't it? Anyway, the shops are fun! Clothes are a tad expensive though, but very very nice. Wanted to buy ice skates, they are dirt cheap here (20% the price we get in Singapore, same brand!) but they didn't have my size left. Grrrr ....

Bought a lovely pair of bright red leather heels for mom, it was easy to buy stuff for her since yx's almost the same size. $12 only! And yx bought a pair of apple-green Lindy shoes for herself, the Mary Janes sort of shoes. Gisselle went crazy over those. We went into a raunchy shop that sold stuff like whips, talking fake moose heads, fake phalluses and all sorts of stuff.

The tom yam dinner was very good, and was an instant hit with the suitemates! Now the 3 of them are thinking of confiscating my passport so I can't go home and instead, stay here to cook for them. Anyway, Giselle will be doing some Dominican food tomorrow for us to try, and she's going to use plaintains, which apparently are some kind of banana that must be cooked and taste like potatoes or something.

About tomorrow - Will be lazing around till 9.30, then taking the bus to visit the gigantic pet shop just outside town. After that it's back to State Street for some shopping and visiting the interesting shops, then taking a bus to a 2nd-hand skate shop to see if we can nab anything from there. If not, we'll prolly go sliding! What you do is you get those cafetaria trays, sit on them and slide down one of the slopes. At night, we'll be celebrating yx's birthday, and then going dancing.

Time for bed!
