United Center, Chicago

Image hosted by Photobucket.com So here my pics from the United Center, home of the Chicago Bulls, and all time great Michael "Air" Jordan. Man, I was emotional. This was the one landmark I HAD to see, that and Oprah's studios...

It's in the bad part of town, and was warned about muggings and stuff. So the whole experience was rushed. Caught a cab from downtown Chicago, and 30 minutes and $15 later I was there - "United Centre, please" somehow got mis-translated within the Pakistani cabby's head, and he took me on the not so scenic tour of Chicago's Dodgeville. Made the cabby wait with the engine running in case some shit went down!

Apologies for the crappiness of the pics, took them with a disposable camera after my digital was nicked, and then used my new camera to photos of the photos.

Also ate "world famous" deep dish Chicago-styled pizza at Giordano's. It's a bucket of crust filled with 20 pounds of cheese. Aooouuurgh! Wezzo, not even you could tuckshop this!
