Long Due DC

This was the best short field trip ever. To Washington DC! 

Honestly speaking, I am neither an artsy person nor a history person, but DC is only art or history. But one thing that makes it memorable, is the endless array of sakura trees from one end to the other, in the entire city. *hearts max*

And its my first time seeing actual sakura trees in numbers. Oh aren't I glad my medicine rotation ends just right about that time. 

We were joined by the NYC folks too. WheiYing and Justin! This is a hotel mirror shot!

Big big problem there is food though. We were not familiar with the surrounding, and what food they have to offer. So we basically just walked around till we saw a fascinating scene.

SEAFOOD.

Crabbie crabbie crabs,

Although I totally disapprove the way they cook these crabbies. So cruel. They just throw all the live crabs on this huge metal steam thingi, and the crabs slowly get steamed to death. And cooked too at the same time. If you look at the above picture, the crabs on the far right are all dead, cooked to death, whereas the crabs on the left are just begin to slowly experience their end of life.

Because of the way the crabs are cooked, they are not yummy also. Haha, but we still ate them anyways. 

Fresh oysters! (which I totally avoided cos I can't stand oysters). Dirt cheap!

Like I mentioned before, DC is a walking city. So we walked and walked and walked till our legs can die. ZhiVen gave up half way and headed back to the hotel to do work. 

Here is our tree! Team picture!

Me an Queen staying loyal to our state.

This time round, I manage to actually catch abraham lincoln on his chair. The last time I was there a huge event was ongoing and the place was jam-packed!

LayQueen envy-ing the residents in the white house. 

The next day, we headed north, and spend a lot of time with this one particular tree.

And met YinnKhurn at the lovely brunch place that I *heart* much!

And then we headed to the Aerospace museum, which I totally had no interest cos I don't understand airplanes and machinery (can't believe I had an engineer moment in college).

And that kinda summarises my DC trip!
