Ooh, t'was really, really good! I loved Paris especially, and Eurodisney was brilliant!
We basically had a week in Paris, a week at my dad's house and a week at his parent's house. Did a lot of shopping, but unfortunately I had so much homework that I didn't have the chance to do/see everything I wanted to.

You went to a Model UN conference!!!!!!! that is sooo cool! oh man, I am jealous but also very very interested. I love stuff like that. I am in the World Diversity club at my school and Amnesty International. I wish we had Model UN. I foolishly admit that the main reason I am interested is because of the Mary Kate and Ashley movie Winning London, but I also want to see what its really like, because I am sure its nothing like that movie.
Please do tell us all about it!

Hey! Let's hear all about it. Haha, I remember loving that movie as a kid! As well as all the other MK&A movies. And the MK&A detective books were the best.

Lol, it was really good! The people there were really nice, and very intelligent. In the case of our Vice-President - very cute, too! Well, I was in the Security Council - so it was very different to what you saw in the movie. Basically, we put forward clauses (solutions to problems) and debated on them. Those that passed after the voting are gonna be sent to the actuial UN. I can tell you of some funny things. Since talking during debate is fobidden, we were allowed to pass notes. Those were screened by the president and vice-president, and some of the more... interesting... ones were interecepted. They read those out to us at the end. Here are a couple: To: People's Republic of China From: UK Messege: I BET the delegate of China, as well everyone else, has NO IDEA as to the details of the Agrrement [that she mentioned during the debate and was asked about the details]. So I propose we all go and discuss them over Chinese noodles, Russian vodka, Congoan bananas, English apple-pie and Spanish nachos. To: Congo From: USA Messege: Does the delegate of Congo like the vice-president's tie with monkeys on it? And, furthermore, does she like bananas? [followed by a picture of a banana] Yeah. We were realllllly serious...
