Of the city of architecture - Chicago IV

After touring Northwestern University, we had our dinner at "Joy Yee". A small restaurant that serves ridiculously good smoothie and superb chinese food.
Man, I still miss their Mango Tapioca (The "pearl" in bubble tea. I thought tapioca is 木薯, no?) Freeze. Oooooooooooooooooooh...*slurp*
There are actually over like hmmm..a hundred choices of fruit freeze? And I keep on getting the mango only. That's how good it is.
Or maybe I just haven't tried the other.
Anyway, I have bias for mango.
=P
And, oh they actually have Durian Fruit Freeze. Too bad I didn't get to try it. It was out of stock. *sigh*

Talking about all these foods already make me miss Chicago. Not the city exactly. Chinatown to be precise. Yup. Iowa is a sad state. No Chinatown. Not even China-lorong. *sigh*. Sad sad state.

Anyway, on the third day of my visit to Chicago, I toured the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago. It is a pretty fascinating place.

Colossal building.

There are quite a number of interesting exhibits inside the museum. Like Sue, the largest, most extensive and best preserved T-Rex fossil ever found.

Hi everyone, meet Sue. Don't worry, she/he won't bite.

No one knows exactly the gender of this T-Rex. It is just named "Sue" after Susan Hendrickson who found her. And the head of this T-Rex? See it? It isn't Sue's original head. Apparently, the head was too heavy to be put up.

Poor Sue's head was too heavy for its body.

And I wonder did it drag its head when it roamed about in the past?

Then there is the prehistoric display. Erm, no. It isn't called "The Prehistoric Display" exactly. I forgot the real name. Something like "Native American"? Hmmm...can't figure it out.

A mammoth tusk. Real de oh.

Think it is a spearhead.

See those "calar" on the spearhead? Supposedly, it was because the people keep on sharpening it, hence causing the "calar". This indicates that the prehistoric people actually re-use their weapon.
Don't play play. I got read the information de hor.

Looks like something your mum use to make sambal?

Ancestors of modern hammers - the club.

Before the modern-day bra was invented, there was breastplate.

Not exactly comfortable looking, but hey, it still does it job right? I guess.
And I have no idea what size that is.

Sculpture of an idol.

A hieroglyph. Forgot what it said liao.

A totem pole.
