Our next destination on the east coast is the capital of the United States: Washington D.C. Washington is a city that was artificially planned and built. The cityscape is dominated by wide streets, large parks, and many monumental buildings. The most meaningful sight to see is the Capitol of Washington. It is here that the headquarters of the two chambers of the U.S. government exist; the Senate and the House of Representatives.

The White House is the office and residence of the President of the United States. It carries this name because it was first burnt down by the British and after the reconstruction was painted white. The President of the United States is elected to a four-year term. His duties and responsibilities are similar to that of the Austrian or German “Bundeskanzler.”
