Think BIG in Washington - as soon as you arrive in DC, you’ll be knocked over by the scale of the place. America’s capital wants you to know where you are and the city goes all out to impress in terms of grandeur and size. Drama and scandal bubble under the surface while the streets are abuzz - hip and happening events, museums, restaurants and clubs around every corner. The principles of Equality, Justice, Life and Liberty are still upheld but DC is, above all, a trendy and international town.
