A long walk and talk around the Peak Hong Kong and then down the mountain into Central
I did a live stream today from the Peak Hong Kong, but this is the part you didn't see on the live stream (starting at 14:50). It's also in 4k 60fps on a stabilized camera, so it should be a bit easier to watch.
Jump ahead to 14:50 if you watched the live stream.
PenguinSix is an apolitical guy in a political town who likes to walk a lot. He has hiked over 17,000 miles (27,000kms) in the past six years and is still walking today. He is an American expat who spent the last decade in Hong Kong with his family and is now back in Washington DC, continuing his daily ritual of taking very long hikes around the city catching the sights and sounds of the city while live streaming to share with others. History, culture, life as an expat (with reverse culture shock), and the pitiful Chinese food in Washington DC are regular topics of discussion.

Planes planes planes. What better way to spend the day? I went out to film the Russian Government Jet that arrives every so often in Washington, but then took a long detour to the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum at Dulles, filled with all sorts of cool things. Come explore with me.

Two day video, from Thursday and Friday. Not much going on so I ride around showing you the Lincoln Memorial, the Federal Reserve and a few other places. I did manage to see a horse, which was cool enough. I also saw the EU President and the EU Council President (I was taking pictures of both). Finally the First Lady drove past, but I didn't really get a good view due to the window tint.
I also had a really good hamburger.

Taco Tuesday (I had BBQ, again) and we went out to see a Marine One flight complete with foam trucks and Biden walking across the South Lawn toward the Oval Office before heading over to the Russian Embassy where a suspicious something caused a bit of a shutdown. I also had BBQ, which I said before but it worth mentioning again because it was so yummy.

Some days in Washington are light and relaxing and some days are a bit more tragic. Today was the latter, as I started with a call for a homeless man who passed away in a camp. Later a call came in for someone who jumped off a bridge in NW, which later turned out to be a New York Times political reporter named Blake Hounshell.
Rest in peace to both of them.

If you need help, please call the suicide hotline at 988. New nationwide phone number is 988

Today was a pretty quiet Sunday so I hiked and biked down to Georgetown before spinning over to the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and White House before finding a group of kids who were literally dancing in the streets. KPOP random dance before the Seventeen concert. Go figure.
Anyway, come enjoy my afternoon with me.
