It was in New York. I flew over from the UK with a delegation from my university's MUN society. We got to visit the Eritrean Embassy and debate in the real GA hall and everything. Even though most of the proceedings were done at the Hilton.

We send someone to the international meeting each year I think, but I haven't been involved for that long. The national MUN is next month I think, but its for high school students only. I might go along and help out with running it if I'm not busy with tech stuff.

my high school really wants to go to an overseas meet, and if we start fundraiseing 5 years ago we can probobly do it. we were thinking about going to the european on at the hauge but they stopped giving out awards so as not to make the loosers feel bad. if we went there it's look like we cleaned up at home because we knew all the judges but then on a leval playing field we got our asses handed to us by the europeans.

is there an international one in NZ and if so do you give out awards?

I went to the Berkeley Model UN earlier this year. Did anyone else here go to the BMUN this year? I was the NATO delegate of Hungary.

Now there is a joke! When I attended college a young woman came to one of the meetings of our history club to see if we wanted to participate. I swear to my time, I took off my shoe and beat it on the table.

If I had to do it over again I'd have [post edited in advance].
