We went to Northern Illinois University....located in a small town known as Dekalb. It's one hour from Chicago and 45 min from Ohare International Airport. There is no shopping mall here....we only have Target, ALDI, Jewel and Wal-Mart. In 1995, we celebrate 100 years anniversary of Northern Illinois University...

Not much to say about Dekalb....but if u travel out of Dekalb...u can find a beautiful scenery of agricultural land. Illinois was known as America's agricultural land. If we refer back to history....you should recall this name..."Abraham Lincoln"...it all started here in Illinois. In US, Illinois is one of the poorest state ...this is because they really rely on agricultural.

I still remember when i 1st saw a strange kind of corn, they called it "Indian Corn". It's so colorful and it's not like corn that we have in Malaysia.
