Freedom of Speech Speaking Out Review


Washington DC is the capital of one of the most powerful nations in the world. At the moment, not many people are happy with the current way politics are being carried on, and as such, you will find plenty of people speaking out about current events.

Walk on the LEFT, Stand on the RIGHT - Washington D.C.
Walk on the LEFT, Stand on the RIGHT Metro / Metro Etiquette Review


It is a local custom that everyone should know from being in big cities & its escalators, stand on the right, and walk on the left. Everyone has their own agenda, so people are in a hurry and some others don't have anything to do...respect all !!
