I've last been to Washington D.C. back in 2000 as part of a 8th grade class trip. At the Capitol we met the two senators from our home state. We also visited the White House.

No one wants to visit the capital of my home country. Everyone makes fun of it.

[–] aliensalmon (5860) 6 months ago

Why?

[–] samoanjoes (58645) 6 months ago

Canadians say it's dead and boring. I've heard hockey players say it too.

[–] aliensalmon (5860) 6 months ago

Ah, that sucks.

[–] sslssg (35200) 6 months ago

Who makes fun of it? I thought it was had some great scenery. I didn't find it boring.

[–] samoanjoes (58645) 6 months ago

I've just heard it from a lot of people. I personally don't mind it, but I wouldn't click my heels in excitement to go.

[–] sslssg (35200) 6 months ago

I guess it all depends on what someone is looking for on their trip right?

[–] samoanjoes (58645) 6 months ago

I guess.

Seen :

The US Capital
Buckingham Palace
The Canadian Capitol in Quebec City

That's it.

[–] aliensalmon (5860) 6 months ago

Ah, pretty cool!

[–] sslssg (35200) 6 months ago

Quebec City isn't the capital of Canada.

I've seen that one before.

Q: What do Ottawans call Quebec Autoroute 5?

A: The Highway to Hull

[–] sslssg (35200) 6 months ago

That's pretty witty. Make sure samoanjoes sees it.

I was born in the capital.

Signed, million man.

[–] aliensalmon (5860) 6 months ago

Awesome!

Every year, 2 people, one male and one female, from my district are chosen to go to the capital. So maybe I’ll get lucky one of these days.

Nope, never been to D.C.

[–] Daft_Munks (4846) 6 months ago

A bunch of times, no desire to go back anytime soon: London is a shit hole and it's too crowded.

[–] AndyKing1967 (39874) 6 months ago

Yes, along with about 40 others.
