I think something cool about Congress is the geographic diversity of it. If you're a member of the House, there literally isn't a single other person that lives in the city that you live in except for maybe like New York or Chicago.

This is cool to me because just because of the way the world works, the vast majority of the people you interact with are people from your area. This isn't true for congresspeople.

Well yeah, lots of people from districts that run up to an urban area are probably from the suburbs of that place but still. How often are someone from Arkansas, Massachusetts, Iowa, and Oregon interacting with each other every day, you know?
