culture

hey.

so today was good, i enjoyed the evening program.

in the morning we had a panel on nuclear proliferation uh... i didnt really understand so yeah, the girls i was sitting with we kind of doodled and yeah. but a lot of people were asking questions - i like doing more so human rights related things, but i guess i should learn to be open minded :)

so after that we prepped for our UN Security Council simulation, which was based on the Spratly Islands crisis - basically different claims on islands in the South China Sea with oil and resources. That went alright, but again, I don't know so much about trade... so yeah

but then in the evening after dinner, we had a cultural exchange. in my group there are people from south africa, new zealand, costa rica, argentina, spain, france, uae, pakistan, india, indonesia, usa, jordan yeah everywhere its so cool. so we did cultural exchange with everyone bringing things from their countires and explaining what its like and yeah, it was fun. ill try to post pictures next time im just getting tired and want to sleep.

tomorrow: national mall, holocaust museum, and the fourth of july! :)
