You made your own luck, Aleks, by learning English on your own and making your videos. Then you trusted your sponsors and made the big leap to another continent. I hope you continue to prosper and enjoy America. You have such a super personality, I’m sure you will meet lifelong friends along the way. ❤️🇨🇦🙏
This Washington D.C trip is a very exciting experience for you, Aleks! I am very happy you went to the Lincoln Memorial! President Lincoln was one of the best American Presidents in United States History during the American Civil War during the 1860s. By the way, the first Burger place that you got your drink from is not really called 7 Burger it is called Z Burger. Do not worry. I do not think Z is the same as Z Putin Russian military Burger! Enjoy this wonderful opportunity in Washington D.C.. The United States Capital!
They have tourist buses that give you nice rides around DC which you can jump on & jump off. They sell tickets to those buses at Union Station, which is beautiful. Union Station has a subway station on the red Metro line and they have a large food court with all kinds of foods. The tourist bus tickets cost something like $45, which sounds expensive but it's really a great deal because they do such a good job of giving you an overview of the city, and they can answer all your questions. They take you through historic Georgetown and to the fabulous Washington National Cathedral, and by many historic landmarks.
How exciting for you! I know you said you're lucky, but you also took risks, followed our rules, and here you are in Washington, DC! I'm so glad you're able to travel around the US now. Looking forward to your next video!
I hope you enjoy your visit to DC! I got to go there with my grandparents when I was 13. My favorite place from the visit was the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. We were only there for four days so I didn’t see everything there. I have a cousin that lived there for several years so she’s seen a lot more of it because she had more time to explore, but I did see the highlights like the Lincoln Memorial, Capitol, White House, Supreme Court Building, Smithsonian American History Museum (second favorite thing to visit in DC), etc. We basically spent a whole day each at the Smithsonian museums we visited and then took a guided tour on our last day to all the other places in DC. Hope you make lots of great memories there like I did! 😊
Wishing that your trip will be safe and enlightening and entertaining! Thank you so much for your love for our nation! We are so lucky to have you Aleks! 💖
So you got to see the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the reflection pool. A historic location with monuments to two of our greatest presidents! And you're getting a feel for the city. It's very different from Houston, isn't it?
I find it strange how free drinks are very rare in other countries. They are incredibly cheap for restaurants to purchase hence why free refills and free water are a thing in the US. Generally you could ask any restaurant for a cup if they have fountains and most of the time they will just give you one (unless they are strict about it). Though sometimes it's restricted to only free water and not soda or tea.
@@catherinelw9365 there's a coffee place near me I stop by on my walks to ask them to refill my water jug and they always do. Couldn't imagine if I lived somewhere where they refused cause it gets hot on my walk some days
Try to visit the International Spy Museum! I believe they have lots of KGB items there (like the lipstick pistol) But it’s very popular so you might need advance ticket?
@@heatherhere Yep we are! 😁 I thought he would enjoy seeing the KGB stuff. (Of course I would head straight to the National Gallery. But doubted he would enjoy that?) Although I would like to see the spy museum too & see possible items from Aldrich Ames & Robert Hanssen (but they may still be classified?)
Don't walk around Van Dorn. There is nothing there. Walk around the National Mall & Smithsonian museums (they are all FREE and have AC, restaurants, great gift shops and restrooms. Also walk around Dupont Circle, the gay community, especially 17th Street (from P Street to S Street) and 14th Street (from Rhode Island Avenue to U Street).

I've never seen someone so happy to get a free drink😂. Aleks you are delightful!
From the far east of Russia to the capital of the USA. I hope you enjoy all there is to see and do!
Beautiful video! Bravo my friend!

The Lincoln Memorial is my favorite as he was one of the the gentleman who gave us a pathway to follow.
So glad for you Alecs!
I love it you made it to DC! I hope you enjoyed your trip! We love you!
Enjoy your visit to DC!
I remember one year ago you were using your own money to feed stray cats!
You are a good guy, Alecks!
Lovely video. ❤
Thank you! 🤗

Hi Aleks, I see you are really happy 😃Enjjoy!

I’m glad you are visiting D.C. I’m on the West Coast and don’t think I will ever visit there. If I knew someone who lives there maybe. Enjoy.
Hope you can do it. I've only been twice and for a short time, but definitely sticks in your mind!
So glad you’re having a good time. Thanks Aleks!
You need a friend to go do this stuff with. Don't miss the Air and Space museum
💪🏳🌈🦅
🌈💕😃🇺🇸
Make your American dream come true
It looks like you're having a great time 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It's Z Burger not 7 burger. Of course, it's no relation to THAT Z.

Generally you could ask any restaurant for a cup if they have fountains and most of the time they will just give you one (unless they are strict about it).

It’s actually illegal to refuse water to anyone who asks in a restaurant - even if they’re not a customer.

You are our Russian Forest Gump😂
Wow…. First!!! 😊
Thank you 😇
OMG, be careful not to grow a giant American stomach 😅
Looks like you are having a great time! I haven't been to DC in decades, but this video has made me want to grab a friend and go.
