    Washington DC was designed by Parisian Pierre Charles L'Enfant. Like Paris, D.C. was designed so that, if ever attacked, the army could move easily through the city to confront the enemy so its concentric boulevards and bridges are reminiscent of Paris. Surely, you must have come across that name while in DC, aka L'Enfant Circle, etc.

    Yeah - Washington, D.C. is a beautiful city with an endless number of attractions to go see, especially if you're willing to take a 1 or 2 hour drive. I believe it's also alot less expensive there compared to places like NY. Most of the museums and the National Zoo are free, right? I don't think museums or zoos or anything like that are free in NY. I used to go visit my Grandmother and Grandfather in DC every summer from 1974 to 1980. I loved it. When RUclipsrs ask "what city should I visit in the US?", I always recommend Washington D.C. Less than 2 hours away you can also go see Mt Vernon (President Washington's home), Luray Caverns, Harper's Ferry, Kings Dominion amusement park, Annapolis, Baltimore - it's just awesome.

    You need to return to Washinton D.C. for the cherry blossoms in March and April. And, also, the National Portrait Gallery (which is also free of charge), which has cool paintings of all of the U.S. Presidents, and their wives.

      This ^^. I mentioned the Jefferson Memorial elsewhere, but that is particularly nice around cherry blossom time, with its setting next to the Tidal Pool lined with the trees. Hitting the cherry blossoms just right can sometimes be hit or miss, so see the Memorial whenever the opportunity,...but if you can or have to choose one time...

    Try out some of the Ethiopian Restaurants in Addams-Morgan neighborhood. There are lots of cool restaurants in that area. Stick to Northwest DC, Georgetown, and the area around the Mall. Stay out of Northeast and Southeast. Too dangerous. Kennedy Center is great for live performances such as Symphony Orchestra. Also check out some of the Universities, Georgetown U, American University, George Washington University.

    @ewikgeiwgwe, thanks for looking up the law. Student visas are tricky. Obviously, taxes are due on income made while in the US, whether on a student visa and/or a scholarship. Before continuing to ask for donations, securing sponsorships, and posting new videos, Dari should consult an attorney and a good accountant. Better safe than sorry.

    Hi Dari, so glad you like my hometown. I actually live about 25mi NW in Germantown, MD. You know MD donated this land in the late 1700 to build the capital. I come downtown often to teach class. Be sure go to the Smithsonians, like air & space or natural history. Also maybe Mount Vernon , George Washington’s home in south of Alexandria. Come back soon😊 maybe in April to see the Japanese cherry trees in bloom along the tidal basin of the Potomac River. PS yes the Capitol dome is based on the Pantheon in Paris and Rome. Many other buildings too.

    Other places that you can make short trips to:
    Boston - one of the most historic cities in the US, and one of the most European ones. While you are there, check out Cambridge as well. Massachusetts in general has lots of interesting places to visit, lots of history. Salem is another town near Boston that is worth a visit, especially if you are interested in the history of the Salem witch trials.
    Philadelphia is only 2 hours from NYC. It's another historic city. Check out the old town for quiet cobblestone streets and lots of American history.
    Newport, Rhode Island - very cute, historic little city, known as a yachting capital. It was also a place for the rich and famous of the Gilded Age to hang out, and has some amazing historical mansions that are open for tours.
    Mystic, Connecticut - home to Mystic seaport, the largest maritime museum in the US, with focus on the 19th century, and the whaling history of the US. There is also an excellent aquarium there.
    Speaking of aquariums, if you like animals you should check out the Bronx Zoo in NYC - one of the largest and best zoos in the US.

      The Lincoln Memorial is one of the highlights for sure and perhaps the most important one "if you could only have one!" Somewhat away from its orientation with the convenient linear Mall lined with these monuments, museums and the Capitol building, many people forget about the "other" major presidential Memorial - the Jefferson, but it's one of my favorites. The gracefully pillared and domed round architecture and its peaceful, less crowded setting next to the Tidal Basin can't be beat.

All the embassies have fabulous events and there are so many free museums, which always have new exhibits. There are so many interesting and lovely neighborhoods, so many great universities, and you never need a car there.

      Many of our Founding Fathers were Francophile. The architectural aspiration was ancient Roman and Greek style. I saw this upon arrival in the U.S.A. (on Morningside Heights' College Walk -- West 116th Street).

    I have lived in the DC area since 1999 - a very long time. The thing about this area is that you never run out of things to see or do. The area is very rich culturally and historically. One thing I HIGHLY RECOMMEND is to spend some time AWAY from tourist areas. Go into the neighborhoods and dine where the locals dine, for example. There is much more than the mall and Georgetown.

    At the White House I hope you went to the backyard at the park. It’s a lot closer.
    It’s small because it’s supposed to be a semi-normal house for the people. The president is not a king or an emperor he’s an employee of the people. (Also, it’s part of a labyrinth of tunnels.)
    Boo!
    Halloween is approaching. What will you be?
    I suggest Wednesday. You’ll have to buy some clothes … you can use in your future. Or just get a premade adult Wednesday costume and fix it up.
    Or go as Bridge and Tunnel girls and wear some of what you have [ just kidding ;) ]?

    It's so strange seeing these things through your lens -- I actually know those areas! 😅 Work brings me into DC all the time. Here's a few tips for whenever you decide to come back:
    1) My wife and I love taking Amtrak to NYC. Penn Station in New York connects directly to Union Station in DC. If you're willing to take a night train, the fare is like $10 in coach. Takes a bit less time than the bus, too.
    2) The DC Metro rail system has day passes. Touring above ground is more picturesque, but when you start wanting to get to places off the Walking Mall, it's worth considering. It's also the easiest way to get from Union Station down town.
    3) The Capitol has fairly extensive tours. Enter through the Capitol Visitors Center. I've been told by an employee the best time to come is when Congress is NOT in session. It's much less crazy.
    All of the Smithsonian properties are worth seeing. The Air & Space museum is my personal favorite, but you can't go wrong with the art museum. Good choices. 👍

      Harder to get to, but if you have time, the Air & Space museum has a kind of "part 2" out by Dulles International Airport, much bigger - with one of the space shuttles, large World War II and jet planes, etc. Both museums are excellent.

      NYC being dirty has more to do with its having a diverse population a fraction of which are "litterbugs."

    So pleased to see you enjoying American life, may your studies go well. The American White House was in fact designed by James Hoban from Kilkenny, Ireland and he was chosen by George Washington who wanted an unostentatious construction. The original French designer was dismissed because his designs were too lavish and the building too large for the taste of George Washington. The building is based on Leinster House in Dublin.
    Best wishes to you, take care 😊 😺

      Generally speaking, it's a good idea to avoid the parts of the city east of the Anacostia River. Fortunately, the only things on that side of the river that would attract tourists are the Entertainment and Sports Arena (where the WNBA team, the Washington Mystics, play) and Frederick Douglas' home in the neighborhood of Anacostia. Other than that, so long as you remain aware of your surroundings, as you should in any city, DC is perfectly safe.
