Walking every day to a university building nestled in
between the Uzbek and Chilean embassies, not far from the Aussies and the Filipinos
and the Trinidadians and the Kazakhs, I have enjoyed the international flavor
of my city while studying international relations. But now I have moved to a
new neighborhood and feel even more surrounded by embassies. Whereas the Poles
and Lithuanians used to be 12 blocks from my house, the Belgians are two blocks
away now, and the quickest way on foot to Dupont Circles takes me past the
showpieces on Embassy Row. So I thought I would snap DC's embassies and post
them here, 10 at a time.
To start with, here is Belgium, Central African Republic,
Chile, Malta, Moldova, Montenegro, the Philippines, Portugal, Trinidad &
Tobago, and Uzbekistan. The Belgians and Uzbeks have been my neighbors, but my
favorite of the bunch might be Moldova, since it’s in the same building as
Russia House.
