USA // It would be unthinkable to come to Philadelphia without paying homage to America's creation legend in this shady city park, dotted with historic buildings where the seeds for the Revolutionary War were planted and where the US government came into being. As you cross the threshold of Independence Hall and stand in the very room where the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776, it's hard not to be awestruck. Same when you clap eyes on the whopping Liberty Bell that tolled America's first note of freedom. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Alexander Hamilton - all of the stars of US history were here at the get-go to help the fledgling nation get its democratic ideals on.
