you aer very beautiful girl . i respact you . god bless you .

Washington DC was designed by Parisian Pierre Charles L'Enfant. Like Paris, D.C. was designed so that, if ever attacked, the army could move easily through the city to confront the enemy so its concentric boulevards and bridges are reminiscent of Paris. Surely, you must have come across that name while in DC, aka L'Enfant Circle, etc.

The country must be very beautiful!. The American cities are amazing and I hope you had an amazing time in that city. Thank you so much for this video, This is awesome because I feel as if I were in this city. Take good care of yourself, See you next time. Greetings from Lima, Peru. 🇵🇪🦙🙂👍

Dari, your videos and editing keep getting better, I’m thoroughly enjoying watching them as soon as they’re released. There’s so many places to visit in the US, I’m glad you’re getting exposure to some real hotspots. I can’t wait to see what you’re up to next.

You should also go to the Natural History Museum as well as the Air & Space Museum, both are amazing and very popular. There are many more Smithsonian museums there. You could spend weeks even months to see every one of them.

US is very diverse we have so many cities here and things to do its just mind blowing. You can choose whatever city or small cities or big towns or small towns to visit and live. Texas California Carolinas Florida Washington state Chicago many more

Yeah - Washington, D.C. is a beautiful city with an endless number of attractions to go see, especially if you're willing to take a 1 or 2 hour drive. I believe it's also alot less expensive there compared to places like NY. Most of the museums and the National Zoo are free, right? I don't think museums or zoos or anything like that are free in NY. I used to go visit my Grandmother and Grandfather in DC every summer from 1974 to 1980. I loved it. When KZreadrs ask "what city should I visit in the US?", I always recommend Washington D.C. Less than 2 hours away you can also go see Mt Vernon (President Washington's home), Luray Caverns, Harper's Ferry, Kings Dominion amusement park, Annapolis, Baltimore - it's just awesome.

It's so strange seeing these things through your lens -- I actually know those areas! 😅 Work brings me into DC all the time. Here's a few tips for whenever you decide to come back: 1) My wife and I love taking Amtrak to NYC. Penn Station in New York connects directly to Union Station in DC. If you're willing to take a night train, the fare is like $10 in coach. Takes a bit less time than the bus, too. 2) The DC Metro rail system has day passes. Touring above ground is more picturesque, but when you start wanting to get to places off the Walking Mall, it's worth considering. It's also the easiest way to get from Union Station down town. 3) The Capitol has fairly extensive tours. Enter through the Capitol Visitors Center. I've been told by an employee the best time to come is when Congress is NOT in session. It's much less crazy. All of the Smithsonian properties are worth seeing. The Air & Space museum is my personal favorite, but you can't go wrong with the art museum. Good choices. 👍

Harder to get to, but if you have time, the Air & Space museum has a kind of "part 2" out by Dulles International Airport, much bigger - with one of the space shuttles, large World War II and jet planes, etc. Both museums are excellent.

I'm glad you enjoyed DC. I always liked the unique layout of the city for an American city also, with features such as the national mall, circles, and lack of skyscrapers.

DC is amazing during the cherry blossom festival. Incredible. You also have to see Adam's Morgan district -- every nation represent in the restaurants. Very cool.

If I went to Washington then I would definitely want to see the Museum of the American Indian and the Space Museum. The Space Museum has the model of the USS Enterprise from the original Star Trek TV series which is now fully repaired. I would like to see that.

I am so happy that you had a great first experience in D.C., Dari. Definitely come back and give yourself a lot of time to explore the Smithsonian Museum and take a White House tour. Also, if you go earlier in the fall next year, Vermont and the surrounding states are sublimely beautiful with the fall colors.

Enjoyed your trip to DC Dasha. I visited Washington DC in July 1973 during the Watergate hearings, 50 years ago! If you get to return to DC again go to The Smithsonian Museum. Wow it was huge with SO much information to learn. I loved it.

I went to DC a few years back, loved it, and definitely would like to return. I agree that the Georgetown area is wonderful and that the museums are great! Glad you got to travel there!

Looks nice!

DC is the one place in the US even though I was born here it is at the very top of my list of places I want to go for now I'll live vicariously through your videos really enjoyed it go back and do some more

Ahhh you were here!!! Next time go to the Library of Congress to see the gorgeous marble, woods, and architecture. Visit the eastern market. The dwarf.. and go across to Alexandria!!

Your living the life girl! Spend your wings and discover your "wanderlust", for your life is just a mere moment in time.😊

Among my recommendations for top places to go is the Udvar Hazy Air & Space Museum and Kennedy Center for a show. Udvar Hazy near Dulles Airport and very different from the Air & Space museum in the federal park.

@ewikgeiwgwe, thanks for looking up the law. Student visas are tricky. Obviously, taxes are due on income made while in the US, whether on a student visa and/or a scholarship. Before continuing to ask for donations, securing sponsorships, and posting new videos, Dari should consult an attorney and a good accountant. Better safe than sorry.

It is important to know that the safe, clean, and beautiful tourist area of Washington, DC, is surrounded by some of the worst urban blight, poverty, and violent crime in America.

I use to do the DC night life when i was younger, best bet is find a place with a cover with unlimited draft beer...or have a friend that works in a bar in Georgetown and get free drinks...lol...oh and the bar crawls... that was the good ole days..🥲

Hitting the cherry blossoms just right can sometimes be hit or miss, so see the Memorial whenever the opportunity,...but if you can or have to choose one time...

Georgetown Cupcake is ok, but there are at least three better cupcakeries across the river from where you were -- these being in Arlington, VA.

Welcome to my hometown Dari! The normal tourist places are really great. Even as a local we'd go see them. Be very careful at night and even during the day in some parts of the city....but enjoy yourself! Growing up in Washington, DC, and having lived all over the world, I still have a dream to one day visit Moscow. 🙂

So pleased to see you enjoying American life, may your studies go well. The American White House was in fact designed by James Hoban from Kilkenny, Ireland and he was chosen by George Washington who wanted an unostentatious construction. The original French designer was dismissed because his designs were too lavish and the building too large for the taste of George Washington. The building is based on Leinster House in Dublin. Best wishes to you, take care 😊 😺

Your trip to Washington is excellent Dari it looks a nice with lots of museums and parks l forward to your next video

No visit to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier? I'm shocked.

I was also surprised how small the White House is in person. It looks much larger on television.

Hi Dari, hope you’re loving New York so far! I’m happy to see you immersing yourself in the culture (as you always have no matter where you are) - seeing lots of neat stuff! I still need to visit Washington DC myself as well as New York! I have a question for you - What stands out to you most when you’re in public amongst people that’s radically different from Russia? Thanks for posting, your videos are always great!

Very nice video, Daria. The intro music was peppy. Glad you guys got to visit Washington DC. Lots to do there. It would take a month to see everything (especially the Smithsonian). Next time you visit, be sure to go to the Library of Congress, the largest library in the world. By the way, did you know that DC has had five massive floods since 1889? (The last one occurred in 2006).

At the White House I hope you went to the backyard at the park. It’s a lot closer. It’s small because it’s supposed to be a semi-normal house for the people. The president is not a king or an emperor he’s an employee of the people. (Also, it’s part of a labyrinth of tunnels.) Boo! Halloween is approaching. What will you be? I suggest Wednesday. You’ll have to buy some clothes … you can use in your future. Or just get a premade adult Wednesday costume and fix it up. Or go as Bridge and Tunnel girls and wear some of what you have [ just kidding ;) ]?

Washington is an amazing city. Been there many times and I always find something new. If I may, I suggets you and your frinds go back in the cherry blossoms season (is in early spring, but you have to check the exact dates, they’re not always the same) it is a magical experience. Going to U Street was a really good choice, next time try to go to Old Town Alexandria and Eastern Market. Bothbare amazing but really different experiences.

The Lincoln Memorial is one of the highlights for sure and perhaps the most important one "if you could only have one!" Somewhat away from its orientation with the convenient linear Mall lined with these monuments, museums and the Capitol building, many people forget about the "other" major presidential Memorial - the Jefferson, but it's one of my favorites. The gracefully pillared and domed round architecture and its peaceful, less crowded setting next to the Tidal Basin can't be beat.

Just a warning while very beautiful if you go to DC when the cherry blossoms bloom be prepared for really big crowds and standing room only, also you were on the tourist/governemtn part of DC.....it has it's bad parts too.

Hello 🤗

I always wanted to visit Washington DC. Always thought that I would take the train to Washington DC and then stay at a hotel over or along the Washington Metro, their subway system. Then I could take the subway system and walk to all the sites. Washington DC has never had an economic down turn. (no depression, no recession, no layoffs, no major employers closing operations) It is therefore known as the Gold Coast because of all the government money that ceaselessly circulates in the area with abundance. All from my and everyone elses tax dollars. ( just like all the Rubles that circulate around Moscow) I believe that Washington DC was originally designed by European designers and architects ( or whatever they were called back then) in both the city layout and buildings. Somehow I never got the time and money at the same time to visit it. Perhaps my trip to the Space Museum in Huntsville Alabama got substituted for my Washington DC trip. ( one of my few, real vacations in my life) At least some of the buildings in Washington DC and perhaps the Space Museum or parts of the Space Museum require a good standing USA citizenship. ( no naughty incidents like robbery, beating up innocent old people, etc. and no time in prison) Parts of the USA Air Force Museum have similar restrictions. I believe that you could see the historical part of the Air Force Museum ( history of flight and of the USA Air Force) and possibly the WW2 portion of it. ( been in to see it several times) Washington DC also has a huge Air Museum that is similar to the USA Air Force Museum plus many more museums in the area. As always you should do your homework before visiting such places as they may have restrictions for foreigners. Glad that you enjoyed your trip and visit.

I would love it if you, or one of your friends can take pictures of you at the places you were today, Supreme court, Capitol building and the White House. I think you can get a tour of the Capitol Building and the White House. You must definitely take a picture of you on the grass in front of the White House. And on the steps of the Capitol Building. You have a lot of nice friends! There are only two MUST's: Study and Enjoy life!
