Model UN

2009-05-20T06:55:00.000-07:00

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.

You should go to the restaurant one day. But it is expencive. Then we went to go to see movie. Hiroki found nice old American style movie theater, so we wanted to try to see the movie at the theater. Small theater usually has interesting choice of movie. That day, we saw Varentino ~ the last emperor ~. It is document movie about Varentino who is the famous designer of Varentino which is France mode brand. Now he already quit the job so it is the document of very last part of his job. It was very interesting movie for people who has interest in fashion. If you want to see beautiful woman’s naked body, you should see it because there is naked thin lady model on it. After that, I and Hiroki went upper east side to buy birthday cake for Ban Yutaro. It was his birthday so we serched nice cake for him. We stopped at France chocolate store. On front window, they had super looks nice chocolate cake. I and Hiroki wanted to try it! So we bought the cake. When we wait bus at WP train station, we met Mr, Kringle again. He say he went to see movie star trek. He say it was not so good. We talked about our future in Japan. He say he will come to Japan. I hope when he come to Japan, I meet with him and talk in English. Because he is interesting and it is good for my English skill. End of the school, I will ask his mail address. At mid night, we did birthday party for Ban. Many other student gave him present. He looked so happy. After we sung birthday song for Ban, we ate the chocolate cake. It was so small but expensive. It taste so so so sososososososo nice! I love chocolate! So it was so nice for me.

One week ago, on the week end, I went to Manhattan again. We will be graduate soon so I am sad that I can’t go to Manhattan any more. At that day, I and Hiroki and my roommate Kazuya went to bus terminal at 9:05. I met with Mr Kringle at there. I talked with him little bit. He plan to go to Moma at that day. Moma is modern museum of art. They have many new things. They show us I pod or kind of such a new thing. I and Hiroki usually don’t go to museum. So I want to go Moma before I go back to Japan. When we reached to Manhattan, we first went to upper east side to go to Italian café. There is nice one. I ordered iced café latte. It taste nice. Then we ordered flesh orange juice.

Jil Sander is fashion brand from Germany and designer from France. I tried a cool gray suits. I like France shape of suits. In Japan, People should have black suits for some ceremony. So I should get one brack suits. I planning to buy black suits in Jil Sander. Then, I and Hiroki went to Tom Ford. They have cool international suits. I and hiroki found cool jacket which is blue. Hiroki wanted to try it on but they didn’t have size stock so we will come buck other time to try it on.

I and Hiroki went to Florence last summer for summer school so the name is familier to us. I and Hiroki ordered fresh tomato pasta. They usually have huge material so I was full! Then we went to Soho to buy some present. Why I have to buy present is, It was Taiki Sugimura’s birth day. He likes music but I don’t know about music so much. So I decide to not to buy thing that he seems to like. I decide to buy a watch for him because everyone need watch. We went to Swatch shop to buy present. They had so many colorful watch in the shop. But, it is present. So we decide to buy simple one. Finally, I and hiroki bought blue watch with blown fake leather watch. It looks nice. After that, we went to Kinokuniya Japanese book store to check some Japanese new fashion magazine. I checked Leon which is best men’s fashion magazine in Japan. They had so many suits.

In Japan, the most of people who change own hair color are bad people. So she scared about it. But I exprained that because of here is USA, nobody won’t care about hair color. So they can change hair color. So they are not bad people. Just looks. She looked happy to hear it. Buy the way, I didn’t see Mr, Kringle during Shofusai. Did he came?
