Trip to Washington DC Part II-The Payback!

So on the first day at DC, we visited Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Thomas Jefferson Memorial and Kennedy Center.

And then on the next day, we actually had a tour inside the U.S. Capitol Building! And then we visited the White House, Old Post Office, World War II Memorial and the National Mall. We got to visit 2 out of like 10 different museums, so me and my friends decided to go to Holocaust museum and Smithsonian Airspace Museum. And of course, the Art Museum. Yap yap i don't think there is enough space to post all the pictures!

Overall seneng banget lah bisa ngunjungin bangunan-bangunan penting di ibukota Amerika Serikat! I hope you get to see what I got to see. Now I need to work on my homework :p

Toodles!

Trip to Washington DC Part I

One of the worst experience I had in the United States was get isolated in the hotel room, while everyone else's touring Washington DC. How was that exactly? So during the Arrival Orientation eight months ago, all the students get to visit their Embassy and go to different tourist site. They got to visit the Embassy, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and some other places. Unfortunately since I was sick, I had to stay so that other people would not get sick too.

Pretty sad, isn't it?

So anyway, the art club in my school offered a trip to Washington DC around March. I signed up for it :) :) The long bus ride took out most of the fun part, but I enjoy the trip in overall. So I am going to post some pictures I took.

Here are the one we visited in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Next post will be another tons of pictures in DC!

Tomb of the Unknown guard. He paces 21 steps alongside the tomb, pauses 21 seconds, then returns.

It's the beginning of Spring!

Hi so today me and my friends went out to the lake near our town, and the lake that was frozen all winter turns out to be about one-inch of ice left. temen gue penasaran buat nyoba step on the ice dan hasilnya nyemplung ke lakenya oooops. She didnt let me put her picture in here hahaha but anyway it's the beginning of Spring and it was so nice outside! I hope it's a good sign and a lot of things going on in Spring. I am going out for Track and Field for sport and hoping to have good times and make more friends. Tomorrow I will be going on an art trip to Washington DC, from March 16 through 21. Looking forward to see the White House!
Here are some pictures from today:
