Experience at Washington DC


We went to Washington DC on 24 June 2013 .This was a great experience overall but I will focus on three main components which we experience and impressed a lot .

Social, environmental and cultural experience .

I faced numerous people and different cultures in the same pathway . I observed that there is no discrimination between black and white ,their behavior is very polite and they are very sincere to each other .they helped me every time whenever I asked them something technical or any kind of query ,they helped me a lot.
Secondly I learned that how could we keep our environment clean and fresh .I noticed that every citizen was busy even not talking a single moment to each other but they were caring the rules of traffic  and other transport and crossing road on green signal is very amazing.

 Visit of Monuments/memorials in Washington Dc.

 I learned that how could our nations survive in our memories and great leaders never die but live in heart of their nation .i learned that how I could preserve our history and also that history is very interesting subject  and how can I teach history to students that they take interest and revive their history with pride.
We visited a lot of places like Lincoln memorial ,Thomas Jefferson memorial ,Washington memorial ,Arlington national cemetery ,Grand Army of the Republic memorial ,Lincoln dusk in pool ,,Korean war memorial ,Peace monument, Martin Luther king memorial ,Congress and senate, White house. Titanic memorial, grant memorial Washington and many other monuments that was very informative and very interesting for me

Meeting  with state office.

Meeting in state office was wonderful and learned about the nature and scope of state office in country. State officer ( Brand beamer)was so nice and kind and he welcomed us warmly and share about their state and exchange our views about the program .i also shared my views that gives me a lot of confidence.

Visit to Russell (old senate)

Last day we visited Russell and learned that our leaders gives a lot of sacrifices for freedom, I learned about the names of great US leaders ,their description and their role in freedom movement. South theatre is very informative for me that I have never observed .Different periods in the history of freedom movement.

Miscellaneous things.

Besides all important places we have visited, other things like Indian delicious food, metro travel, architecture style, gardens and different flowers and very special one the warm weather was so enjoyable for me.
