Hiii everyone!

I'm having the most amazing time here. My LGM (Leadership Group Meeting; our group of about 25 people from all over the world (mainly Australian though, but we also have people from Ecuador, Nicaragua, the Bahamas, India etc) is the by far the best one of all. Since the food is really bad we ordered 13 pizzas together and ate them in our LGM-room. Afterwords we turned down the lights and turned up the music. We made a big circle and started dancing.

During the day we do much more serious stuff though. The three main topics we discuss are:
- Leadership
- Global Issues, and comparing issues in our own countries,
- International Relations, from the viewpoint of Russia.

These all come into practice when we have our simulations. Yesterday we had a "Peace and Security"-simulation. All LGM-groups were split up into smaller groups and then we had discussions with the other countries. This was a simulation of how the UN-security council would solve an issue, which was about Cyprus. Every group came up with a very good solution, but obviously the US had to use its veto-power every time to ruin everything. Haha.

Today we are having a casual day in Washington DC,

lots of love,

Alex (my name here)
