finale

Last few day in Geneva: We spent the day at the ICRC and heard some lectures about International Humanitarian Law and we also took a tour of the ICRC warehouse. The last day of the trip was the longest and most packed with a trip to the UN in the morning and talks with Canada and Human Rights Watch.

The nights have been relatively laid back. We all went out for Edwin's last night with us on Tuesday and Lindsay had a greaaaaat time. Ill leave the details out for everyone's gag reflex's sake, but it wasnt pretty when she got home hahah.

Last night we went to our spot again to start the process of saying goodbye to our bartenders. Erin is just trying to get a picture with Ashee so she can leave Geneva a happy girl. We ran into some delegates from the CCW at the bar. We observed as they had some bilateral negotiations over tower of beer....i guess you work hard, you play hard in geneva.

We now have a new south african friend and an new australian friend. Our new south african friend was way too swanky for us...because we were only wearing flip flops (or thongs as they call them in australia) and he was in his suit and we would not be allowed to go to the other clubs in the city. We were learning some new phrases from our Aussie friend, like "sunny jim" which means "whatever"...yeaaa i get it? And "sticking it to ya".
He questioned why all Americans use the phrase "yall" hahaha which is quite stereotypical if I say so myself. But he was quite the stereotypical Australian i guess...he had a big kangaroo on his sweatshirt haha.

So today, on my last day in Geneva...i took great advantage of the beautiful weather and napped...inside...
Oh well, i was tired and I am trying to take preventative measures so my cranky pants self wont be too bitter tomorrow after 20 hours in transit.

We have a dinner tonight with the entire group at the Private UN Club....almost too swanky for me...but it should be a nice going away dinner...and hopefully the food is amazing.

Wake up time tomorrow is about 6 am....HA HA HA.
see you all tomorrow...
