華盛頓紀念碑 (Washington Monument) 是國家廣場 (National Mall) 附近最高的建築物, 差不多在廣場內任何一個角落都可以看到它, 因此大家都拍了很多柱碑的照片。如果我可以早點去訂上紀念碑頂樓的票*, 我們還可以俯瞰紀念碑四周的景色, 但是我...
*No time and energy to get the first come first serve ticket in the morning after we got there

沒有櫻花盛放的華盛頓四月行
一直都很想去首都華盛頓賞櫻花, 所以半年前用了快要過期的信用卡積分換這次旅行的機票。 可惜今年的櫻花提早了盛開, 出發前從 Web Cam 裏已看不到粉紅色的花海, 心情冷了一截。 幸好華盛頓還有很多值得一去的地方。 當我在整理行程表時, 漸漸發覺想去的景點實在太多, 四天時間真的不夠用呢!
最後我們用四天的時間換來以下的足跡, 但還有些很想去的地方沒有去。 等到 National Museum of American History 重開之後, 我一定會再來!

US Holocaust Memorial Museum 猶太人大屠殺紀念博物館
White House 白宮 (North facade) - Lafayette Square

High Speed Rail System in California
The planned high speed train link would go from Sacramento in the north to San Diego in the south via San Francisco and Los Angeles, covering a distance of 1,100 kilometres (683 miles). The time of the trip between San Francisco and Los Angeles would be reduced to two and a half hours.
It is nice to have a high speed train to connect the major cities in California, but how are we going to fund the project? I don't want to see another bond measure on the ballot next time around.

買得多, 慳得多
有時D超市減價時好鐘意氹人買多幾件, 例如定個價錢做 2 for $2, 3 for $5...等等。 嚟咗美國咁耐, 前幾年先知道原來喺某D大型連鎖超市/店, 我可以淨係買一件都有discount。 不過我成日唔記得去到唐人超市通常都冇哩支歌仔唱, 搞到我買貴咗少少添。 :p
