Picture of dyeing of the Chicago River!! It's a frightful, neon green colour right now, and many many of the city's fountains are also green. They have a wonderful culture here, quite laxed and forgiving about certain things especially when they mean a lot to certain communities of people. I can't imagine what'd happen if we dyed the Singapore River red for Chinese New Year?

Anyway, the conical, scaly building near the right side of the picture? Well, the Red Fish pub is just across that river bridge, and the building is really interesting. Chicago's filled with a lot of amazing architecture, and in fact the bottom half of this scaly building is actually a parking lot! It's a little scary to see the cars parked halfway up a spiraling path. And the upper half's some residence units.

Of course, other nice buildings here include the "Bean", the inside of the Chicago Theatre, Seah Building, the Planetarium... and even the Shedd Aquarium's building is nice! Will post pics of nice buildings here later.
