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.

Very cool! I must make the Spy Museum a destination of mine whenever I get back to DC. And speaking of the secret PO Box in Los Alamos, do not forget to watch "Oppenheimer" when it comes out in July. It will explain how the PO Box was used to receive mail from family members. The film was shot entirely in Los Alamos and Santa Fe. JustSaying.

[@heygetoffmylawn1572]

Veeeeery iiiiiinteresting, Penguin 6. Thanks for your time and sharing it with us, Friend.

[@myspaceplays284]

Ahh, the 007 Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger. Classic 😊

[@robwahl6288]

When you see all of this past history, it makes you wonder what will be in this museum that is being used right now. Thanks so much for the video @penguinsix!

[@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888]

I wouldn't be surprised if one day they will have a part of the USS Jimmy Carter, which is currently our main spy submarine.

[@robwahl6288]

@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 Good choice!

[@dustinrupert3679]

Very interesting stuff P6. All of this sneakiness kind of took me back to that old classic - Hogans Heroes. Not much intel got past Kinch 😀. Thank you for the tour.

[@brendahamrick9337]

I can’t believe you have so much cool stuff to show us!

[@andrewwilks5155]

Love everything one can do at this museum.

[@georgekraus9357]

Don't forget the U.S. Navy Museum in South East and the U.S. Navy Memorial on 701 Penn Ave

[@patevans3709]

Thank you, Penguin!

[@maddieadams75]

Thanks P6❤

[@lauriehays2876]

Been waiting since last year for you to circle around back to the Spy Museum! And you didn't disappoint 👏 Thanks for sharing your video. Sorry, I know you tried not to blow us up. Lol!!

[@debitrabold5769]

Interesting, thanks P6 😊

[@mamalinhager]

LOVING THIS ❤

What an exciting museum to visit, and thanks Andrew for showing us so many cool things in such details, and I smiled looking at those Blackberry phones that disapeared for good not too long ago. I actually had one until January of last year.

[@Malfunctsean]

26:46 .I just ordered an inflatable tank from amazon. My wife is going to lose it 😅

[@danwollscheid8300]

Great video! Thank you!

[@ernie7065]

Thank you for showing the Spy Museum. We visited there b.c. (before covid). Very interesting. Please check out the Bible Museum and the Postal Museum. All good when you are older like us and have been to D.C. before.

[@sharonmay99]

What a cool museum. Lots of interesting strf. Kinda scary thing of al that happening all over the place, here & now. Loved the flowering rees. A nice calmness after the world of espionage

[@uyenlehong7493]

Thank you.

[@cherylcallahan5402]

P6 Penguinsix Museum Thank you Andrew

[@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888]

The Aston Martin is cool, but do they have the iconic Cone of Silence from Get Smart?

[@marlene8746]

Thank you for the tour it was good to see how they did things . Thank you again

[@speedysmoke]

Interesting. I actually watched twice. Thank you. Better film the trees now..one windy rainy day and the blooms will be gone.

[@kathleenlouie4516]

Awesome pictures thank you

[@heckno146]

Good little telling tour. From the crude looking devices, compared to the high tech of today, to the culture. Car still looks cool and fast. But no spy vs spy.

[@andrewwilks5155]

The part with pretending to control and stop a nuclear Holocaust reminds me of the music video for song it's a mistake by Men at Work back in 1983.

[@vettnetkramer1233]

Thanks P6 😊

[@ernie7065]

Please visit the Fairfax County park and show the campground. We stayed there and found driving into D.C. from there to be easy.

[@ernie7065]

Please also explain the "Red Topped" parking meters for (older) disabled people. They were a blessing. Typically at the front and back of on street parking areas.

[@marybeckham4495]

There is a slave who served for the British. After the war he went to Oak Island, Novia Scotia. They believe he found treasure on the island. Died a wealthy man. I'm sure you've heard of the Oak Island Mystery. 😊

[@piedmontpengwing]

I got the impression on this video that you was going to take us to the spy museum gift shop!

[@Penguinsix]

I filmed it, but then KZbin basically copyright hit me for that part because the museum had music playing in the background so I had to cut it out. I'll go down there again sometime and try again.

[@piedmontpengwing]

@@Penguinsix is there anyway that you can remove the music from the current video? However, it probably would remove your narration too. Thanks for letting me know what happened.

[@gmaga9nbcm21]

So This is were it all began.

[@patpurcell70]

Very busy

[@kendog52361]

Slight correction, here, but GSG-9 wasn't formed until after the 1972 Munich Olympics. At the time, German Police didn't have trained snipers or a tactical team, and the military was forbidden from operating on German Soil in a police action, as a legacy of Nazi Germany. As a result of the events, including the Israeli Athletes who died during the botched rescue attempt, Germany formed GSG-9 as a dedicated police tactical team, to counter those types of events in the future.

[@pattiwhite9575]

That was interesting. What is your choice of favorite item?

[@morningglory459]

I’ve been there 😊 it is a long tour. Make sure you have all day 😊

[@davidwalton9940]

I have a strange question...you have shown us the White House Historical Association store, but have you been in or shown us the White House Gift Shop operated by the Uniformed Division of the Secret Service? I have ordered merchandise from both and an impressed with such. If at all possible (and it may not be) could you give us a tour of the Gift Shop?

[@brendamuller7898]

That was pretty cool! I have to admit though, I cringe every time 9/11 is mentioned... I wish with all my heart that the truth would be told about 9/11. On the brighter side, those trees in full bloom are absolutely gorgeous! 😍❤️

[@tilliegeorgia453]

Now we know that at least half of that place is fantasy, corruption, and lies.

[@EndoftheBlock7224]

How was the JFK exhibit?

[@marcokurek2654]

people still wearing masks... sad. great video content btw!

[@angelahill8437]

Just go visit fbi or cia😀
