Madison - The Capital of Wisconsin (July 16th, 2010)

When I've heard about the capital, I imagine about a big, crowded and busy place. Actually, I quite don't like this kind of city because I feel uncomfortable to be surrounded by a large number of people. However, I have to go to Madison. When I arrived at Madison, all of my misunderstandings was disappeared. It is such a beautiful and lively place. Our hotel is located near the state street which is the center of Madison. We, my roommates and I, walked along the street until we reached the river. Wow it's sooooo beautiful! Then, we sat in front of a little stage near the river to watch a performance; it's so cool! The next morning we had an opportunity to visit the capital hall of Madison. Inside the hall, there are many rooms which is used in many occasions. All of them was decorated perfectly. After visiting the capital hall, we headed to the Historical Museum which is located opposite the capital hall. In the museum, I found plenty of interesting information and experiences such as the information about the State Fair,Indian people, transportation industry, etc. Next, it's time of shopping! I think it was our luck to be here on Saturday. Huge number of people gather on the state street. Plenty of discount shops were opening for welcoming customers. We had a good time on shopping. This is one of my favorite excursion.^^
