D.C. Washington, Day 1- Second Half

We made most of the time of this Martin Luther King Day =): Leave UNCG in Sat morning and come back in Mon afternoon. We could sleep in the van, theoretically, which turns out to be a naïve idea.

Finally arrived D.C. after 6 hours drive. We first arrived Arlington National Cemetery, in suburban area of D.C. ‘Peace and Respect’ is the slogan that I see everywhere. It is embedded into the cemetery itself, and influencing the sun, cloud, tree, earth and tourist. Though different people who served and died for the nation are buried here, it brings out the same massage: we should remember, respect those heroes and treasure our life. I appreciate the architects’ great work.

But if it is in China,this could be another story. Some works with the same purposes could only make me feel man-made smells, fake and disgusting.

Smoothly, we find the hostel easily. After checking in, settling down, we headed to the NBA show!! Never imagine we got a good deal here, US$10 per person. Washington v.s. Toronto. And Yi got 11 points, if I don’t remember wrong, and he was even invited to an TV interview right after the game!! Great!
