It is strange to tell people that I am traveling in America for business. Returning to my home nation has proved an interesting experience. There is so much about the United States that I have missed while living in China. I am taking the opportunity to watch as much baseball as possible. How about that NL Central people? It is crazy. I am currently in DC for a few days enjoying all of the capital's tourist sites. Like all mid-westerners, I am programmed to think of the nation's capital as a den of corruption, excess, and incompetence, but the truth is much more complex. I have found the tourists in the city to be a reflection of the nation as a whole. You cannot go anywhere without seeing people sporting jerseys of their area's professional sports teams. The tourists come from all this great nation. They represent different races, ethnicities, and religions. They are proud of their home, and they show it by letting everyone in the capital know where they come from. Seeing the monuments is cool, but being here only makes me more excited to visit Indiana. Enjoy the photos. Sorry the Washington Monument is under restoration
