  • Local transportation and local social opportunities
    • The Metro serves the greater Washington area with nearly around-the-clock subway service, making travel around the district highly convienent. Additionally, bus lines run throughout the city, and taxis are available as well.
    • Washington is home to a plethora of restaurants catering to a variety of tastes and cultures. (examples?)
  • Visa issues
    • Visa information is organized at /Visas, as the U.S.
  • Tourism opportunities
