HiHi...Well...I'm currently on vacation in our Nations lovely capitol, Washington DC.Ooh yeah.The trip was interesting...I'm really sorry if any of you are from Virgina...but driving through, I have to say you have the worst drivers I have ever seen. We were going along, when a semi-truck cut us off. The same truck then proceeded to change lanes, hitting and running another semi off the road. There wasent too much damage, and we stopped in time as we were only going around 30 mph. However, the kid behind us was too fixated by the trucks, and rear-ended us.Yeah...neat trip so far. I saw the Lincoln memorial, the White House, the Capitol Building, The washington memorial, the Vietnam Wall, the Korean war memorial, and the Smithsonian Flight Museum. I walked...from the hotel, everwhere.My feet are killing me :? Anyway...it was loads of fun.

wow thats too bad welcome back okibi

You may not believe this.... ......Maryland drivers are worse I live in Virginia, about 20 minutes from Washington DC, but I rarely go there. I haven't even been to many of the museums in about 12 years.Have fun and try to stay safe

I'm certainly going to stay safe...my Hotel is about a mile from the White House...Good area.I'm not quite back yet...just got here in fact. I won't leave for home till the 8th.I can't wait to see the rest of the Smithsonian...I only saw the first floor of the Flight Museum, and it was awsome.

ya they got a lot of cool stuff in dc i went in the 8th grade

Okibi, while you were vacationingI spent a few hundred dollars on slugs for my shotgunsenjoy the trip

I used to work about 2 miles from the White House.. I remember a few hotels there but none of the names. Unfortunately, other than museums, there's not a lot to do in DC.

enjoy the trip

A few hundered huh?

 

 

Well...I just finished ordering all the parts for my AKS-47S

 

 

so meh... :twisted:

wow cool i want one

You didn't see the Air & Space museum? That was my favorite when I ws stationed near DC

no one can mess with polish and/or hungarian drivers... never ever mess with them, u will loose, at worst case, your car is gone (sorry, Ky, i had to say this)Oh, before i forget, Bavarians shouldn´t even get a drivers license, maybe they could beat the hungarians...PeaceKP

uh no one here talked about the flip drivers lol.....if u wanna learn not to drive go there, u'll be to scared to

Been there, it's not so bad... just because they have 7 cars side by side on a two lane road going 50MPH... I've seen worse! As long as I don't get run over by a jeepney

ahahaha ya...my grandpa and my dad were jeepney drivers...imma take up that job when i go there hehehe...i dont think my dad would let me drive there.

Wow Okibi that is some seriously bad luck. But it sounds like you more then made up for it with some good sights. So, good for you man. Never been to Washington personally. Little too far away. But, in regards to your bad drivers, and I mean bad drivers in terms of your country, I got you beat. The town I live in (Orillia, Ontario) has the ABSOLUTE WORST drivers in existence. We have old people that drive through the front of buildings, trucks that take out houses, people get thrown from cars at random, rear ended because the other driver was talking on his cell phone, drinking his coffee or is just too dumb. I'm telling you man, 3 days in this town and you would never curse another American driver again.

I use to live in N. virginia about 20 minutes away from DC. I hated and feared the infamous capital beltway and its drivers. However, i have to say that the English are some of the worst drivers i have ever seen (except for American teenagers with their rice rockets and SUVs). SOrry all you UK TA members but when I was over there, I was pretty sure I was going to die in a auotmobile accident about 20 times a day.

Today I saw the Holocaust museum (wow...), the International Spy Museum (freaking awsome!), and the Smithsonian Air and Space museum, which was just as great as Gator said it was.And I have blisters the size of Canada....I need better shoes.

yah, the DC museums and government buildings are sweet, just dont go into downtown DC without being heavily armed (not a problem for you okibi, im sure )

-Flak Magnet]yah, the DC museums and government buildings are sweet, just dont go into downtown DC without being heavily armed (not a problem for you okibi, im sure )

DC has very very restrictive gun laws...probably more so than California.

 

So this is my first disarmed vacation...though not completely disarmed. I've got a Gerber folding knife, though I have to check it with security when I go in government buildings or museums. Boy, them underpaid security monkies sure give me some neat looks.

 

I don't plan on going to the "bad" part of town anyway. My hotel is actually on Pennsylvania avenue, so I'm not far from all the attractions, and pretty far from the "bad" parts.

I dunno, i here Dubya can hold some wild parties, and the partiers often end up at nearby hotels on Penn ave. drunk as monkies.

dang california!!!!...lol imma just move somewhere else...i hear arizona is nice...or montana..how bout alabama...or texas...naw just not the same as cali, guns or no guns

Okibi Hiryuu dont forget to take a lot of pictures for us, cos i dont know USA, only with some pictures into documents & films, but yours pictures (photos) will be best for all...Egidio.

Arizona is very nice on gun owners. I'll be moving there in the next couple months

 

You can open carry there, and NFA items are pretty well accepted. Not to mention it's just a great state...very pretty.
