I
always heard that Embassies in Washington have open days where pretty much
anyone can walk in and get acquainted with the culture of that Embassy. A few
weeks ago, I met a nice Indonesian lady while getting my nails done at the
mall. We started talking and I told her that I was actually born in Indonesia
and had never been back there after then. She invited me for the open house
over at the Embassy's residence so I of course decided to see what it was like to
enjoy a mini bit of the country and its culture.
When
I got there I was in awe of the beautiful residence and the gorgeous attire guests wore. Everyone was so inviting, I got a chance to mingle with guests from other embassies as well and
had a taste of the lovely local dishes.
I think the icing on the cake was
getting to meet the Ambassador and his wife who were very warm and respectfully
took pictures with every guest including myself.
It was a lovely afternoon that I’m sure would be a great visit for the next group of people attending next year. So once again DC never seizes to stay entertaining, I would recommend this outing for folks looking to explore a new culture within the area of Washington.

Nice. Can't wait for next year
