Model UN

Last Friday and Saturday, I went to Manhattan to go to Model UN as Political thought class . Model UN is the event that United Nation do for high school student. In Model UN, we will be the delegates of one country and search world problem as own country. My team mate was Kotaro Horiuchi. He is very good at English so I was lucky. But there is one problem. Our country was Niger. Do you know Niger? And our topic was the problem of organ trafficking in the world as world health organization. Unfortunately, we couldn’t search much about Niger because the country was too small and it’s too poor . They can’t think world problem because the own country was so bad. So, I and Kotaro has no idea what to do with it. On Friday, we went to Hyatt Hotel which is next to Grand central station. The first day meeting was held in the hotel’s big meeting room. There is so many committee in Model UN. So there were about 2000 student at there. In meeting, un fortunately, we couldn’t make speech because we have no idea about it. But it was so interesting to see how the United Nation meeting works. At that day, I talked with a girl who is came from Italy. On meeting, we should wear suits but they are all high school student so they are all looks bad both boys and girls. But the Italian girl looked so nice and she was so cute. I enjoyed to talking with her. At that day, we had meeting about 7hour and more. I was too tired to thinking. At that day, we woke up on 5;30 in the morning and come back at 7;00. Next morning, I woke up at 6;30. At that day, we had meeting at real United Nation’s building. They don’t open to let people see the inside of meeting room so I really looked forward to see them. In meeting room, it was so huge and there were many cool desk for delegates. They are really looked nice. At that day, the meeting was only 4 hour. So it was much better than Friday. During meeting, I talked with many other high school students. I heard that they are always join in Model UN club for preparing meeting. I talked with two black girls who lives in New York. They are interested in Japan. I enjoyed talking with them. Then I talked with another Italian girl. She was looks also nice. She is also interested in Japan. They are enjoying to see New York. I talked with many other girls. I think I only talked with girl. I don’t know why. All people who I and Kotaro said that they like our hear style. I also don’t know why. I think, European and Americans always has short hear. So, they haven’t seen such strange Japanese boys little long hair. But it was interesting for me. At last, we saw the biggest meeting room in the United Nation. It was so cool. I have seen it only on TV so it was so fun trip for me.
