Hey guys,

I'm currently in DC for a part of my Referendariat (sth like legal clerkship). I'm going to stay for about two months and I don't know any locals here. So anyone eager to give me some tips about local gems? Thanks in advance

I've been living here in the DC area for almost four years now. I spent a year living in the Capitol Riverfront area (south of Capitol Hill, north of the Anacostia River), a couple of years living in Fairfax County, VA (but commuting by train to DC for work), and now I live in Pentagon City. To be honest, I do almost nothing in DC proper other than work. I spend all of my free time in Virginia. If you have specific questions you can ask me but I don't have much to offer about what to go do in DC. There are a ton of free museums around the mall if you are interested.

You'll blow out on things to do pretty quick, some of the clubs are preeeetty nasty, but if you want things to do over the course of about 2 months you're in a good place for it, Richmond, Baltimore, DC itself, you're in range to do some solid stuff.

If you're a nature-type, the Shenandoah Mountains are fuckin' GORGEOUS and I'd highly recommend a trip there for some hiking!

There is swing dancing.... :D

If you want to meet up for lunch or something let me know. We could possibly grab a few other tl people in the area (micro?).
Hwaseung Oz fan for life. Swing out, always swing out.

To begin with I would like find a nice bar in the penn quarter/chinatown area. I visited the tombs last week which was quite a nice and cosy place, but it's in Georgetown and I would like to know sth I can reach by foot. In general I like places with a student / alternative clientele.

@StorrZerg: Sure, why not Then someone can finally tell me whether my english speaking skills are shit :D

I'm not a resident, but my father lives in Northern Virginia and I've easily spent well over two years over the course of my life in & around the D.C. Metro area. I've visited almost all of the tourist spots including the Smithsonian museums and the various nature parks. I don't even consider myself a tourist anymore!

So if you have any questions about popular and not-so-popular tourist locations I can answer most of them.

Shenandoah is a great place to spend a spring day. Just be sure to not fall off a cliff like I did...

From the DMV (DC/MD/VA) and I fucking love Washington D.C.

Make sure you hit all the touristy things. Monuments, museums, etc. There are some really neat museums (Newseum, Spy Museum, Air & Space, Holocaust, etc.)
watch the wall collide with my fist, mostly over problems that i know i should fix
