We arrived yesterday late afternoon there, after 3 hours on the bus. From far, the skyline became visible, with skiscrapers that really had their tops in the clouds, they deserve their name!
We walked to our hotel, a long walk but fascinating to be in this canyons surrounded by high buildings. In the evening we found Michigan avenue, a shopping paradies and when you are traveling with two women, there is no way arround it. Some shops were awesome, top designed, really fun to be in. When the hunger finally drove us out of shopping, we found the best asian food ever on our trip. This evening was the Republican presidential candidates debate in Las Vegas. Frank watched it, only to be severely depressed afterwards. It is unbelievable, that such a big multicultural country has nobody wiser and better who wants to become president. It´s a shame! The whole process seems to frigthen off decent and good candidates. What was frightening me was the tendency to concentrate on the US only, as if the world arround does not exist. Some even wanted to go on spending as much money on the army as now. Or go out of the UNO as quick as possible. Most of them said, government is the problem, they want to reduce it, but the question is where. Most agreed, that they want to reduce the environmental agencies, social care etc. But all said, they now how to fix the economie and get people back to work. No one sais how!
If one of these guys beats Obama, the US is on a straight way right into the third world! The only difference, they have the arms to blow up the whole planet! Therefore, the US can wreck the environment, the world economy and no other country or the UNO can sincerly do something about it. It is tremendously sad to see this great place in such a shape and with so much ignorance!
