Chicago through a new lens

The day I got accepted into INSEAD, I stepped onto the 134 express to go to work, and felt... different.

Chicago looked like a completely new destination to me. The people seemed foreign. Lake Shore Drive, which I had frequented more often than not in the past 5 years here, felt like a welcome surprise - I found myself rethinking: "Whose great idea was it to build this "outer ring road" along Chicago?"

Even the air seemed different. A fresh breeze of experiences seemed to flood my senses as I embraced the new reality about to overtake me.

I was a tourist, once again, in the Windy city.
