From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Washington, D.C. (pronounced /ˈwɒʃɪŋtən ˌdiːˈsiː/, WOSH-ing-tən DEE-SEE), formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States, founded on July 16, 1790. The City of Washington was originally a separate municipality within the Territory of Columbia until an act of Congress in 1871 effectively merged the City and the Territory into a single entity called the District of Columbia. It is for this reason that the city, while legally named the District of Columbia, is known as Washington, D.C. The city shares its name with the U.S. state of Washington, which is located on the country's Pacific coast. The city is located on the north bank of the Potomac River and is bordered by the states of Virginia to the southwest and Maryland to the other sides. The District has a resident population of 599,657; because of commuters from the surrounding suburbs, its population rises to over one million during the workweek. The Washington Metropolitan Area, of which the District is a part, has a population of 5.3 million, the ninth-largest metropolitan area in the country. Article One of the United States Constitution provides for a federal district, distinct from the states, to serve as the permanent national capital. The centers of all three branches of the federal government of the United States are located in the District, as are many of the nation's monuments and museums. Washington, D.C. hosts 174 foreign embassies as well as the headquarters of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organization of American States (OAS), the Inter-American Development Bank, and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). The headquarters of other institutions such as trade unions, lobbying groups, and professional associations are also located in the District. The city is governed by a mayor and a 13-member city council. However, the United States Congress has supreme authority over Washington, D.C., and may overturn local laws. Residents of the District therefore have less self-governance than residents of the states. The District has a non-voting, at-large Congressional delegate, but no senators. D.C. residents could not vote in presidential elections until the ratification of the Twenty-third Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1961. From Wikipedia under the

I am actually looking into Japanese as well. I want to become involved in International Business in Japan. Most likely, I will be studying abroad there as a junior in college. My two top universities in Washington DC are Georgetown and GWU (George Washington University). They both offer Japanese as a major. Another university in Washington DC, lesser but still good, is American University. It also offers Japanese as a major. I hope this helps!

Answered by Water - Sun Sep 9 11:18:56 2007 is there any parking space nearby to the newseum at washington D.C?
Q. I am going to Washington D.C tomorrow and it's a five hour drive. I called the parking lot person asking if there would be any parking space, but he said there'll be hardly any parking space after 9:00. But to get to Washington D.C before 9:00 means i would have to leave at 3:00 am, and i don't think i can do that. So i was wondering if anyone knows about any good ideas or kno any parking space nearby to the newseum. Asked by Chelaylay (Chelsea) - Wed Jul 2 11:28:02 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. The Newseum is on Pennsylvania Avenue in downtown D.C. near the Capitol. There is very little parking in the area, especially during the weekdays. Parking can cost anywhere from $14-20/day at nearby garages, but during the weekdays they are almost entirely permit-parking only or, as the attendant said, filled by 9am. It's best to drive to wherever you're staying (hotel, family, friends, etc.), park there, and then take Metro down to the Newseum. Here's a map of the Metro system: You need to get to the Archives stop. If you're just visiting for the day, you can park at any of the following Metro stations and pay using a credit card: Anacostia, Franconia-Springfield, Largo Town Center, Vienna/Fairfax-GMU, Shady Grove and New Carrollton … [cont.] Answered by Adam - Wed Jul 2 11:36:29 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Washington, D.C."  njspotlight.com Thu, 22 Jul 2010 03:06:47 GMT+00:00 Attention NJ Spotlight By Tom Johnson, July 22 in Energy & Environment | Looking to have a bigger voice in energy issues in Washington , DC , a group of offshore wind developers, ...  wusa9.com Thu, 22 Jul 2010 11:34:54 GMT+00:00 W*USA 9 washington , DC (WUSA) -- A massive repair and maintenance project is about to begin on broken and out-dated escalators throughout town. ...  latimesblogs.latimes.com Wed, 21 Jul 2010 18:29:33 GMT+00:00 Los Angeles Times (blog) We have come to send a message to Washington , DC : Let our people work, said Louisiana Gov.
