Chicago, United States

The poet, Carl Sandburg, called Chicago the ‘City of Big Shoulders’. The city needs them, because it hoists a world - a world of ethnic and religious diversity, world-class educational institutions and shopping, plus commerce and industry. All are enveloped within incomparable architecture. Most cities pale in comparison to this urban enclave whose stunning skyline erupts from the western shores of Lake Michigan. The modern city focuses on the area known as the Loop, where the raised metropolitan railway (known as the ‘El’ or ‘L’) circles the central Downtown business and shopping district. The city stretches north, south, and west, the east side being the lake. Chicago is one of the most culturally diverse cities both in the USA and in the world. Over 50 languages are spoken here. The city’s multitude of cultures can be gauged just by checking its list of annual ethnic parades and festivals.
