    Hi, I'm going to Chicago with a friend on the 3rd of June for three months. I hope to get a place to stay in downtown Chicago in an area like Wrigley or Lincoln park or a place similar to that. That seems to be the spot to stay according to my contacts in Chicago. There are two of us, two Kerrymen going to UCC. I'm hoping to share an appartment or house with some other Irish people travelling there for the summer I see some 3 bed houses for rent in these areas on the web but I need a few more Irish lads or Irish girls who would be willing to house share with us. The rent is expensive in these areas so I would hope to join up with another 4 or 5 Irish lads or Irish girls and house share so that we would only be paying about 500 to 600 dollars each a month and keep the rest of our summer wages for partying! My email is 108951209@student.ucc.ie if there is anybody interested give me an email. Thanks Maurice
