Thursday 16.04.
The day began with the reporting via Skype on the 8th day of international cooperation on FOI. However, reporting over Skayp failed, so we recorded a video together with American colleagues. Video recording is successfully passed and after the shooting we went at a staff meeting of DePaul University. Staff meeting was interesting and relaxed, and the meeting participants carefully answered to all our questions. Topic of the meeting was how universities (FOI and DePaul) are working and the difference between this two colleagues. After the end of the meeting was a relaxed part of a tour of Chicago. The most interesting part was the tour of the building Wills Tower.
Willis Tower is an office building which houses more than 100 companies and it is the tallest building in the western hemisphere, which includes more than 4.5 million square feet including the Skydeck located on 103rd floor. Skydeck include a glass viewing platform and it attracts over 1.5 million visitors per a year.
However, the tour wasn't based only on the structures. We explored the natural beauty of Chicago and one of them was a lake Michigan. Lake Michigan is a five great lakes of North America, whose area is 58 016 km A walk by the lake was very relaxing and the view of the lake was incredible.
