This morning we were taken on an insider tour of the Capitol Building (equivalent to our Parliament building in Malaysia). Yesterday President Obama was sworn-in as the 44th President here. We were briefed on the role of Congress in the American System and also had the opportunity to learn from their research advisor on domestic and foreign policy priorities. When we arrived, we noticed that the inauguration logistics were still in place and we grabbed the opportunity to snap a few pictures of the historical venue.
This is the door leading to the flight of stairs in which both the former President and President Obama walked through to get to the balcony for the inauguration.
This is the Honourable Mr Samuel Basil, Member of Parliament for Bulolo, Papua New Guinea. He is part of our team and in the last few days of knowing him, we have been able to discuss and exchange ideas on service to our communities. Tomorrow I will leave Washington, DC and fly to Florida to study transitions at the local level.
