Washington DC: George Town

So here we are at Washington DC. It’s about 0 degrees Celsius.

Even though I’ve weathered -50 degrees Celsius Manitoban Winter, it sure is cold here.

I had one of the best shopping experience here. The moment I exit the train, I bought 4 pairs of Nine West shoes for USD$100! Quite a good deal I have to say. And that is the reason why I had to lug 4 hand-carry bags on the plane.

After dropping the luggage at the hotel, we walked to Georgetown. In Singaporean terms a leisure walk is equivalent to 10 to 15 minute stroll. In American terms a leisure walk is equivalent to 30 minute of brisk walk.

I was oddly drawn to this building. It must be the golden dome. Or perhaps the huge wreath.

Dinner was fast food at the first joint we saw.

I think I gained 2 kg from my stay in the America. Thank God for the brisk walks. Oh, and for the record, I am steering away from meaty burgers - watch food inc.

After dinner, it was crazy shopping in the Victoria Secrets and American Eagle’s store. I went bersek buying a lot of undies from VS and AE. I still remember I bought a USD$5 spaghetti top from the West Seal store opposite AE - it has since closed down.

Oh the pretty clouds, bare trees and spacious roads.

I miss Georgetown.

Night was spent touring the monuments, but I shall leave that to the next post where you will be able to see the contrast between the day and night at the monuments.
