living space

Following an excruciating day of work at the Lego camp, I decided to head to the windy city to enjoy day five of the week. As I was speeding on the highway, I received a call from my friend, Lan, whom I will be living with, along with her sister Mai when I return from Budapest, Hungary. Upon answering, they mentioned that they were in the apartment, asking me if I wanted to come check it out. I did.

It is located on Harrison and Damen, near Medical District, and probably four to five blocks south of the United Center (Chicago Bulls games galore come beginning of 2008!!). As I neared the apartment complex, it was nothing I imagined it to be. The building probably stands twenty stories high. Our apartment is on the tenth floor, with a pretty captivating view, the entire city skyline to the right of us.

As I was entering the building, I noticed this particular living space was occupied by many minorities, which I am very excited about, very multi-cultural. As we got off at floor ten, we were greeted by a handful of little Indian youths rolling and tossing tennis balls in the hallway, and their two elder babysitters who happened to be a married couple. The husband seemed excited that we were moving in; new neighbors. He greeted us warmly and introduced himself. Gandhi. He said, "It's very easy to remember". Surely is. With such welcome, I am very glad that I will be living in this apartment complex. I'll be able to meet some very interesting folks of different backgrounds. Who knows, perhaps we'll have an international potluck in the lobby. That'd be fun.
