An ABSOLUTE favorite middle eastern restaurant of mine isn’t exactly on South St, I don’t really know the street it’s on, but it’s called Alyans. It is very small but they have the best hummus around! Yes, sorry we are getting off topic but now I’m hungry haha Never heard of Shouk, but unfortunately I don’t get into the city as often as I wish I could. Maybe twice a month or so, if I’m lucky. It’s called Nam Phou’s (Sp?). If you find it, I recommend the beef cubes on lemongrass and definitely get the vietnamese spring rolls! :D

Haha, I hear you. I love Philly, don’t get me wrong, but there was nothing more exciting for me then going to Chicago. Firstly, I’ve never been out in the midwest, secondly I’d be planning the trip for months I was the most obvious kind of tourist, literally taking pictures of anything and everything (Including the (in)famous deep dish pizza at Lou Malnati’s pizzeria (And it certainly did not disappoint!) And the water in Chicago is blue I was so surprised, you have no idea haha. In Philly it’s either brown or has “things” floating in it, haha.

I see, so you were an undergrad at UofC and now you’re a grad at uPenn? I was actually considering something…just in case I don’t get into UofC for undergrad. I’m also applying to the University of Rochester, and I think my plan of action is to go to UofR (If I don’t get into UofC that is :p) as an undergrad, then still go to UofC for grad school.

Do you know anything about Chicagos grad school? Or if you don’t mind me asking, why you switched to Penn? I’m not very familiar with the grad school process, but I’m looking into it, since I want to get a PhD to become a professor Now in what subject is another matter, but that’s what I’ll spend the time as an undergrad figuring out, I suppose.

Oh my, listen to me, I’m rambling again >.< Sorry and thanks for the replies :D
