[Travelogue] USA - Washington DC (2013) | digital our sanctuary
In the list of countries that want to be visited by me and wife, USA (United States) are still under a lot of countries (Russia, Spain, Brazil, Japan, and even Iran). Somehow, do not feel they have the motivation why should to the USA, in addition to the results of the 'propaganda' media will be lifestyle.
So no surprise that the first visit to the USA is in order biz trip, which is attended CableShow 2013 that took place in Washington, DC. Despite many calls to extend the trip to other cities of interest (especially New York), but ultimately the desire for immediate mutual desire anak2x at home beating the trip extension.
Some interesting points from this trip: When the travel, of course what is interesting to each person is different. For me, what's interesting is the history and the correlation with the hobby. In this case, Washington turned out to be a quite appropriate as the opening menu to the US (hope someday be there again). In terms of history, two important events is the independence of the United States (George Washington) and the civil war (Abraham Lincoln), is here. From the side of the hobby, Washington often so setting the famous Hollywood movies. Fun is also a biz trip because there are US citizens orchid who can love food recommendations, and an attractive dining orchid tempat2x. The motto 'be local' can still be maintained. Eat what the locals eat, ride the Metro, and every morning jogging in the track which is very popular among local. This time all the places visited by the way jog jogging alias. Weather conditions (summer) is very helpful because the morning is very good for a run. And jogging exercise turned out very general, so it is not strange to run on the sidewalk gedung2x. Very grateful for the given business class Qatar Airways. This is the longest trip, either at the airport or on the plane. And as a result orchid were given a business class comfort, so tasteless. But still hell, if money alone, apparently still fondly For business class take. The aircraft guns ya doing anymore orchid Quote watching. Which diinget is watching Arrow 6 episodes, confession of murder, Chinese Zodiac, Stoker, Jack the Giant Slayer, Lost in Thailand, plus re watching Godfather, Groundhog Day, and Wedding Crashers (which its setting in Washington).
Saturday. In the morning there was an event at home. 2nd birthday and a mass blessing Gemini house. Later that night at 20:00 with a flight path to the airport orchid at midnight. After 8 hours, arriving in Doha (Qatar Airways due to rise), and transit for 6 hours.
Business Class Qatar Airways is okay really. Seat side by side with the next door neighbor (not nyerong), and still be able to sleep horizontally. The food is certainly steady, especially the Middle East was hooked touch (humus et al).
Transit also be fun because it is an exclusive business class facility. Provided the terminal itself, with a lounge equipped with a non-stop food and beverage, game room, kid room. Boarding matter, its own gate.
After 14 hours of flying, arrived at Dulles Airport, 40 minutes from the city. Hotel Grand Hyatt, which is located just two blocks from the event office. Highly recommended. They love free wifi provided we sign up for membership (which is also free, so why not).
In the afternoon a look-see for a while, and indeed strategic location of his hotel. Chinatown a few blocks already full of non-chinese food. Ford's Theatre (where orchid Lincoln was shot) is also just one block away. And from the map, the location of the mall (complex of museums and historic sites, only 2 km).
Only this time really orchid feel what the name implies jet-lag. Before this, the time-difference furthest only difference 7 hours. orchid This is different to 11 hours. Real at 2 am wake up and fresh, and the late afternoon hours of 3, the eye already requested real sleep.
Once could not sleep from 2 am, six hours straight jogging orchid toward the Capitol Square. Along the way past the musium2x where unique is shaped Smithsonian castle. Sweetheart orchid time does not allow at all to visit this musium2x.
Throughout the day joined the show, and closed welcoming session from Cisco (aka session minum2x). For the first time introduced to the IPA (which turned out to be short for India Pale Ale), and do not like. In principle, do not enjoy beer, especially orchid the bitter like this.
Evening meal (treated to) The Cure Bistro (Grand Hyatt), which entered the top 10 restaurant there. And did not disappoint. The food is typical Washington who have entered the list of game, namely the crab cake, and a version that can direct awful.
Morning jogging back, this time toward the Lincoln Memorial. There are two places that are often so this setting in the movie, the Lincoln Memorial (giant orchid statue of Abraham Lincoln sitting in a chair, remember the Planet of the Apes?) And a front (remember Forrest Gump?).
In the afternoon, back there at Legal Seafood treat (again great seafood). orchid In the afternoon, beer session again, in a Belgian-style bar, and in the evening to accommodate a k
