On Saturday my friend Anna and I toured several Embassies through the Passport DC Open House program. We didn't make it to all the ones available to us, but we did enjoy several. Check out a few photos below:

United Arab Emirates - they weren't open to the public, but their building was the coolest.
See what I mean? Cool Building!
Malaysia, obviously!

We also went to the Ethiopian Embassy and saw a traditional coffee ceremony, but I forgot to take a picture there.
I heard a rumor that the Embassy Open House tour happens on the first Saturday of each month, with a select group of Embassies opening their doors. I've not confirmed that yet, but I hope it's true, because it was a lot of fun - and it was free! I love my new hometown!
And speaking of my new hometown... we went to see State of Play on Saturday. Though I was not entirely impressed with the film, it was still fun to see parts of DC I have come to know personally on the big screen.

Fun! Oh, and I don't think there is such thing as a "new hometown." You get one in life, I'm afraid. Sorry!
Oh my gosh, when I come to visit I am going to have to plan it when we can do this. That sounds like so much fun!
