UN YOUTH CAMP









So I have returned from UN YOUTH CAMP! the most amazing thing ever, i suggest all you peple, providiing you are in yr 9-12 should go next year! It was amazing, words can not describe how fun it was. I made amazing new friends whom with I hope to stay in contact, and learnt so many things. I got to be the ambasador for Belgium for the three days i was there and sat in the HRC XD and debated on the question of media. I made "allies" with Norway, Italy, Polland and Austria. There was also a general assembly where the guy from "ambasador" Democratic Repblic of Congo came up to me and said how appaerently I concored his country and thus am his allie. So yeah we siad our stance and stuff and decided if we were for or against the resolutions. There was also a debate on the assassination of South Korea's prime minister. Note passing was the best part of it, you write notes like " what is your stance?" or like " what is yoru views on clause 5? strike or ammend?" and you hold it high in the air and facilitartors would come and take it and deliver it to the country you sent it to. I FOUND SKANDAR there was a guy who looked exactly like skandar! but I was too chicken to talk to him :( haha but yeh he did send me a note asking about my stance but i didnt know it was him so i just replied and sent it back on the same paper, if i knew it was him i would have kept the paper (despite the fact how stalkerish that sounds). Haha , I just made myself sound like some creepy stalker! But yeah it was fun, the guy for France looked like he concured France and just came into power, he looked quite evil and yet looked like a king and a politician but yeah. The disco was pretty fun, i dressed up in genie pants and this weird blouse type thing because the theme was arabian knights :) Desert was amazing we had panacota and it tasted like heaven in your mouth haha my newly made friends thought i was goign to die out of excitement. I aldo made an art work xD yeah anyways the whole camp was at calgorry beach and it looked like amanda clark's (from revenge) beach hosue except 10x bigger. There was this god possesed machine which made the most excellent hot choclate, oh so good! I wish  i could have carried it home and brought it with me. I leart alot of stuff and it was very interesting , debating there among those people felt like i was actually the ambasador for belgium and felt the pressure!  oh and there was a guy with like 8 goats 23 chickens and like 32 birds and some other many animals which i forgot. But yeah what else? We did this ISP or IPS (for got what it was called)  thing which was where we all got divided into teams and were each assigned a country or a treaty or a specific group in a country. So, i was part of the syrian rebels, and basically we all debated and discussed what to do to overthrow the current government, then russia, nato and usa gave us information and other tsuff and we all decided what we should and would do. At the end we declined USA's offer and accpeted russaia's one, however russia proved to be a trator and nearly killed us. And at the end the Syrian Government exiled us :( But it was fun, it was probbaly the most fun part of the whole camp. In the first day there was a debte between JB, 1D, Julia Gillard, Lady Gaga and Kanye West, it didnt go so well :p haha but yeah we also got guest speakers, one of which who was very interesting, his name was Neils Marquardt, he was the US Consul General, the other speaker was Andrew (i forgot his last name) he is a journalist for the ABC. He was very boring and was not able to deliver a nice speach or answer our quetsions, i fell asleep three times and had 3 micro dreams as well. Andrew's speach was very artifical, he never got to thd point and was so decriptive that it lost the meaning, and when we asked him questions it felt as if he was repating his speech all over again, or like whenever he diverted from the piece of paper in front of him he was lost. Overall he delivered a very poor speech, but Neils Marquardt guy's speech was very good, and he answered our quetsions very precisely. But yeah i really wish i could go back, i had an amazing time. I really want to go Evatt now :) I wish we had a chance to go down to the beach, it was so beautiful. Even though we couldnt go down to the beach we did have an amazing view from our bedroom and dinner room.  Theres a BBQ coming up on the 15th of April for all the delegates, im looking forward to seeing all those amazing people i made friends with =D (especially that skandar dude) above are some pictires from camp... The girl in the blue salwar and short brown hair is deniz :) the girl in the pink top and straight black hair is Isha and I'm the one with the weird genie pants outfit :)
