#gooutside and explore the memorials in Washington DC Every so often is good to remind ourselves of the wars and battles our fore-fathers have fought, to remind us of the privilege it is to live in a free world society. Although not all wars and rebellion causes are as poetic, many have also some dark sides to it. Going through the memorials in D.C., reminds us all of the courage and determination one nation can have in pursuit of its goals. This determination, unfortunately, is seen in the many names seen on the remembrance planks that tell a story of how blood thirsty the Gods of war are. One thing worth noting is that some of the memorials, dedicated to former presidents, can be an impressive visual sight for anyone. The demeanour of these statues imposes respect and makes us all take a moment and admire these statues. #gooutside #passionpassport

Le Diner en Blanc is a world-famous, exclusive picnic where everyone wears white and you find out the location a few hours before it starts. As an official sponsor of the event, Sofitel offers a VIP option where you don’t have to bring your own food + drink and everything is done for you! Make sure to book your spot well in advance— it is such a fun night! The Smithsonian Institute is the world’s largest museum complex with 17 museums in the DC area— and they are all free! The only question left is how many you can squeeze in on your trip?! #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

#CanadaFlightEvent If you visit Washington DC, you will also visit this place. It is a national cemetery that the Korean president also visited. It is a place with a mix of uphill and flat terrain, so it can be difficult on hot days. This is a place where Korean War veterans are buried, and it is also a meaningful tourist destination because it is also home to the grave of President John Kennedy. #WashingtonTravel

Stayed in DC from Nov 4 to Nov 13 and woke up to Trump’s controversial victory or Harris. #historicallandmarks . There was an atmosphere of great excitement until Trump’s victory was final. The locals all expected it and what surprised me was the relaxed ambience during such a time. The buildings along Pennsylvania Avenue are mostly made from red brick 🧱 and are quaint looking in a good way 😀. I bought some Harris campaign caps as they are selling them of cheaply now. Being here during such a political landmark time is unforgettable. Washington DC perhaps i will see you again in four years time when you it is time to elect again. Till then - So long.

Washington, DC, the U.S. capital, is a compact city on the Potomac River, bordering the states of Maryland and Virginia. It’s defined by imposing neoclassical monuments and buildings – including the iconic ones that house the federal government’s 3 branches: the Capitol, White House and Supreme Court. It's also home to iconic museums and performing-arts venues such as the Kennedy Center.
