Zul speaks about his study life as a journalist-in-training in the US
In a bid to offer an insight into studying in America, the US State Department and the US Embassy in Brunei hosted a digital-video conference on Tuesday morning, March 24 (Brunei time)
Today, I decided to try Metro Train here in Washington DC. At first, I was kind of not sure but no matter what, at the end I have to know jua how to use Metro Train service. And I found out that it is just a piece of cake as long as you know the destination and interchange where you need to go out and hop on to the next line. There are 5 lines and each coded with red, orange, blue, yellow and green. Since I wanted to go to Pentagon City Mall, I took red-lane at Van Ness-UDC Station then interchange at Gallery PI-Chinatown and hopped on to yellow-lane which I stopped at Pentagon City Station. The route took me less than 30 minutes and costed me about US$7++. Alternatively, I can use blue-lane but it will take me a big longer to get to the Pentagon City.
Please take a note...
The machines where I get my ticket.
To my surprise, the tunnel is so nicely built...
The train went out of the underground tunnel and the rail runs above the Potomac River.
The Pentagon City Station directly connected to the mall. 
Some interesting business operators at the Mall...
I thought a Japanese Sushi Restaurant. Nah... Kadai pakaian wat...

A supermarket called GIANT. Its far, far different from the Giant in Brunei... It is comparable with SupaSave supermarket we have back home. A very convenient store where I also buy my groceries... It just takes me few minutes to get there from the apartment.
Route back to the apartment.
Some cherry blossoms indicate spring is coming soon... This friday will officially be the start of the season.
Some plants also start to blossom...
