I spent 48 hours in Washington, DC for a work trip — and believe it or not, it was my first time visiting the nation’s capital. All these years, I’ve judged Japanese people who have never been to Tokyo, or Greeks who have never been to Athens, and yet here I was, an American who had never set foot in DC.
To be fair, it is really far — a six-hour flight — and it’s not a requirement to go there. Unlike many other countries, the US has numerous large cities, each with its own unique attractions. For 36 years, there was simply no need for me to visit DC — until now. My time there was brief, but I made the most of it and had fun exploring what I could.
