I guess that's one benefit of a weak dollar, since I can't afford to go to Europe, Europe comes to me.

But is there some program you guys have that sends you to chicago without a job or place to live?

HAHA yeah damn skippy you shouldnt complain about that !!

Emm no theres no specific program for Chicago, just a program for the States in general, where you get a working visa and since we have 3months off from uni every summer it's an extremely popular choice of holiday over here! It's fun to work and live somewhere else but all you get is flights and the visa off the program, a place to live and a job is up to you to organise

And this year for whatever reason, Chicago+Hawaii seem to be the fav places to go, last year it was San Diego. Just the way things work i guess!

That green font makes my eyes bleed.

But you'll have a great time here this summer. Chicago is a wonderful city during the summer months. I don't know about Six Flags though. That's way north, near the Wisconsin state line. It'll probably take you around 2 hours to get there, longer on the way home.

I'd get tickets to Lolla now if you can. I don't know that they ever sell out, but they continue to raise the prices the closer to the fest it gets.
