#10- Restaurant

            As I taste all the particular spices, my body starts to shake. All of the spices make my mouth watery. It makes my body feel good and want more. As I eat more, I’m starting to get full by the minute. The food in Chicago is so delicious and mouthwatering.  Chicago has some of the best restaurants I know. I have been a lot of places around the world but Chicago’s food is something that people never forget when they come visit. If you don’t at least go to one restaurant in Chicago, you visit is not complete. It’s hard to pick one favorite restaurant in that city. I read that Chicago has over 6000 restaurants. There are at least 20 of each one. All of the restaurants are nice especially the ones downtown. No matter where you go downtown, you will always find a nice and expensive restaurant. I can say that not all of the restaurants are expensive but a majority of them are.  But if I had to pick one restaurant I would pick this place called Hamada of Japan. I chose that because this is a nice and classy restaurant. This restaurant cooks the food right in front of you from beginning to the end. Some people say that it is expensive but I feel that you get your money’s worth.  If you like Chinese food or Japanese food, this is the place for you to go eat. This is my number 10 place to visit when you go to Chicago.

All about me......

           My name is Ashley Henry and I am from Chicago. I have been living in Chicago for all my life.  It is one of the largest cities in the U.S. When you go to Chicago there is so much to do and you can also have so much fun. But for a person like me everything gets old at a point. I mean you have a lot of options and still can have fun but some of the things get repetitive. If you don’t already live in there you will have fun every day. There are a lot of things to do like go out to eat, go to different places of entertainment, and it’s a lot of places you can go site seeing. While I’m at home, my friends and I go out almost every night. We find something different to do every time we go out. Chicago is the city that never sleeps in my opinion. I say that because something is always open and it’s always people awake outside still having fun no matter what time it is. Chicago is whatever you make it, meaning if you make it boring it’s going to be boring. But if you know somebody like me that has been there their whole life, you would never be bored. I wanted to do this blog because I wanted people to know what to go when they go visit Chicago. So my blogs are going to be about the top 10 things and places to visit while you’re in Chicago.

All about me!!!!

            My name is Ashley Henry and I am from a big city called Chicago.  I have lived in Chicago my whole life.  I am now currently staying in Peoria for school. This is my second year attending Illinois Central College. Peoria is so different than Chicago because Peoria is a smaller city than Chicago is. Chicago has more restaurants, malls, theme parks, and etc.  Peoria has some of the things Chicago does but the thing is that Chicago has more of it.  Some of the differences between Chicago and Peoria are that Chicago has more people than Peoria. It might be easier to get to know everybody in Peoria than it is in Chicago. Peoria is way easier to get around than Chicago because Peoria is a smaller, but that’s only if you have never been in Chicago. Since I been here I have noticed that people in Peoria say things differently than people that live in Chicago. For example, people here say soda instead of pop. That is something that would stay with me because it’s something that you hardly hear in Chicago.  I love being a big city girl in a small town because it helps me see and learn different things about a city that’s smaller than mine. I don’t see myself living here very long but I am going to try to enjoy it while I’m here. To me Chicago is a little bit more diverse than Peoria. But I can definitely learn things here that I haven’t learned in Chicago and by being a big city girl in a small town can also help me in my career.
