I am in Washington, DC.

Technically, Maryland, but there’s a subway station. What should I do in Washington, DC? Aside from go to the Freer and Sackler galleries and wish I were a master thief, probably from a manga with peculiar ideas about either Catholics or consent. Because I can only do that so much.

(Restaurants and used book stores count as things to do. Also, protests.)

You may well be on your way home by now, but Teaism does indeed sell loose tea.

Bethesda can indeed be pricey. That area has one of the highest per capita incomes in the nation. Not that everybody is rich, but very very few people there are poor. Well-off people with busy busy lives translate into a great demand for restaurants.

Hmm, I wonder how Malaysian differs from Thai, Indonesian, or Burmese ... it's always fun to try a new place.

Yay! Thanks for telling me.

I'm actually here staying with a family friend while I look for a job, so no, not on the way home. I'd gotten that sense about income levels from the guy I'm staying with - he was telling me about how the already-big houses in his neighborhood are starting to get torn down to be replaced with gigantic ones. And he took me a Whole Foods that was so packed its parking lot had guys directing traffic. A little alarming!
