Friday! in Korea and Japan
Man, ChoMUN last night was pre-tty awesome. Much more fun than MUNUC, cause instead of one Info person behind the scenes at each committee, there's a whole "crisis group". And remember how cool I said the crises were with MUNUC? Well imagine that
1) all of the committees are crisis committees
2) the chairs work intimately with the crisis group, so we get instantaneous feedback and suggestions
3) it's set Back In Time. or Forwards. Examples include:
- Vikings, "The Royal Court of Cante the Great, 1028AD"
- Free French of WWII
- GOP Presidential Campaign 2008
- and us, Queen Min's Court, 1882
Huzzah! Suddenly all of my obscure historical knowledge comes handy! Last night I played the role of overwrought merchant ("I just lost my ship, I can't afford my daughter's dowry anymore. Do something, please!"), and pissy villager (on a modified fisherman speech: "We're afraid to go out, you guys don't do anything. We want security, and we're ready to take it into our own hands"). So yes, lots of yelling. :D
At the same time, it's so much more ghetto than MUNUC. The people in committee know you're acting, so wearing costumes is more about "lookat how cool we are" rather than "look, I'm *so too* a distraught (and undead) yangban from 1882". Every crisis group has their own printer, but only one computer's hooked up to it, so all the home govt messages are written by hand. And they're not all home government messages. Last night, the Barracks Commander decided to write to his friend in Pusan asking about pirate activity, so S---- decided to write back as his "friend", going so far as to apply a lipstick kiss on the note. And now there are plans to stir up trouble by having the Barracks Commander's wife hit on the Minister of War. Oooh, the tension!
And they demanded the torturing of a pirate. So we did. Methodically.
Oh, and today's Japan Comic! (I know that's what you're really here for)
In case you were wondering about our St. Patty's day green, Stephen was wearing an olive green shirt, I was wearing an obscenely green MUNUC shirt over a blue longsleeve, Joanne was wearing a dark green tanktop and a light green skirt (over jeans).
Oh, and I was too excited about drawing the lacing on the back of Helena's shirt, but she also had this really cute four-leaf-clover drawstring backpack.
But can someone tell me what the toilet tank faucet refill system is for?

Why was Helena wearing a pretty green skirt on St. Patrick's Day? Wouldn't it have been a good day for her to wear a very green skirt?

But you forgot the part about you both being the walking dead/asleep during parts of the evening. Quite excusably. ;)
And you know, I've lived here for quite near 2 years now, and I cannot tell you for sure the purpose of that faucet. But I have heard it is indeed for washing of hands. However, it is ice cold and there is no convenient place to put hand soap nearby, so I am not sure how much faith I put in that statement. I don't use it.
