USA,
Chicago, 1999-09 I can't tell you too much about this city, since I spent
a lot of time working.
The pizza here really deserves it's reputation. The pizzas back home
basically tastes the same, no matter which toppings you have. The pizzas in
Chicago is a league of their own. It's hard to describe the difference, so
you'll just have to trust me of this. You haven't been in Chicago if you
haven't tried their pizzas.
We went to a great arcade-center called
Gameworks.
These guys had a great system. You paid $15 for 2 hours of free games. And
man - did they have games.
Star wars Trilogy was a must, and they had 3 of them.
The game that caught my attention was a karate game. You have seen Virtual
Reality karate games, where the players seem to be just in front to you.
This is the opposite. You stand in a circle and kick and punch and the
character in the game also kicks and punches. Thankfully the 2 players never
came in actual physical contact with each other. You where always facing the
screen so you could see what your character and your opponent character
where doing. If you just turned your head, your friend was standing there,
kicking and punching at the screen, trying to knock you out.
So that was 2 hours of pure fun; a shorter version of the Macho Man weekend.
The only woman in the place was singing in a band that was playing there.
