Romania would like to relate its experiences to the delegates...
So, just got back from Bellingham MUN, and I'm still thinking in third person (you never say, "I feel..." in MUN, you would always say, "Romania feels..." or whatever country you are), but it was fun. It was kind of funny because as I was coming back on the bus, I actually thought to myself, "Romania would like to make a motion to sleep for a period of 15 minutes." I then said to the guys next to me on the bus, "Are you still thinking in third person?"
Their response was, "Yeah, I'm still thinking of myself as Bahrain/Saudi Arabia."
Someone on the bus actually said, "Point of Information: When are we getting back to Inglemoor?"
I received best diplomat in the ECOSOC (which was exciting), and I was the sponsor of two draft resolution (one went through to resolution, but the other...the meeting was adjourned right before it was about to go into voting bloc). One of them, was a resolution on providing relief to sexual violence victims (sponsored by myself (Romania), Iraq, Russian Federation, Canada, Portugal and the Czech Republic with almost countless signatories)--that's the one that passed. The other was a draft resolution concerning the training of medical healthcare professionals by taking them to universities and then returning them to their home countries (yes, I got the idea from Perpetual Education, what of it?). This was sponsored by myself (Romania), Portugal and El Salvador, with Malaysia, Brazil, the Phillippines, Canada and the Czech Republic as signatories. And that's the one I was actually passionate about. Oh well.
It was still exciting. How come the US is jerky at MUN Conferences. This one wanted to pass a resolution about selling pharmaceuticals to third world countries. Great plan, because they can definitely afford that, and that's not at all a blatant furthering of your own economic interests.
I was actually surprised that this United States wasn't louder. Some other things that I heard about in other committees include: they added 21 seats to the Security Council (I know, that will be a mess), and the League of Arab States did something weird with two warring Arab states, but I don't remember what it was.
