Today after school, it was the start of MUNESCO—a 3 day conference, Model United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
We spent about two hours running around in our formal clothing. Ezgi was trying to hand out their cards and booklets to people in our country, and I decided to help her by tagging along and carrying the badges. We talked to a few people—some new, some friends, some from past schools or last years MUNESCO—and time passed.
Then came the opening ceremony. It was long and everybody was giving speeches. I think my friends did a wonderful job on theirs, I congratulate you! Note passing was allowed at some point, and I noticed all the notes were between Indonesia (my country) and Palestine (a country represented by other school friends). By all I mean every single one.
Of course noting got banned and I never got my note back from my friend. I was really sad. Oh well.
After that, we got onto busses and went to Bilkent Hotel. It was dinner time! We ate nice food, blah blah, the fun part came when we started something.
They were playing the song "Stereo Heart" in the background, and we were singing along. Soon some peeps were talking to the man playing the music, and we were mingling on the dance floor. A couple people joined us, and suddenly a huge crowd of people were surrounding us. All dancing, all singing (more like shouting) along with the songs.
It was fun not only because we were dancing, but because we were all strangers having fun together, not judging, all doing the same thing and enjoying it.
We started MUNESCO like this, I hope it continues in the same warm and fun way.
