Simon

The SIMUN experience was something very unique that I have never had the pleasure to experience before. It brought society and interaction into a very organized form that made things so much easier. In normal everyday life we all play by a different set of rules. But during SIMUN we all had the same set of rules, this made other people actions much easier to predict and come up with thoughtful responses. It was like we slowed down time and allowed us to respond much faster. This presentation allowed even the weak to be strong. Also alliances made much more sense. Since actions required much less commitment a basic political friendship was all it required to get a signature on things. People gave support willingly and we all understood that we wanted the group to succeed and not just individual people.
I was one of the most, if not, the most active person in the group. I was closely followed by the USA and South Africa. They were both juniors and all of them were really nice. I was glad that I got the country Kazakhstan, because it allowed me to make whatever allies I wanted depending on the situation, because Kazakhstan has no enemies, except for stupid Uzbekistan, but no-body likes them. On some issues I got to side with China and other times I got to be on the US’s side. It was nice and allowed a break from just supporting one person.
I prepared very little for SIMUN, I did a few of the assignments but my knowledge about countries history and policies helped me a lot. We discussed the ideas of the scenarios in class and since I paid attention to this I managed to survive. Also, the studying I did on my own during my high-time was good as I was able to enjoy doing the research and it stayed in my brain even if it was unconsciously. This put it into my brain the way English is, it was there and I didn’t really have to think about it. I just instantly knew what my countries side was. Maybe I should try this with Japanese, loll. Though languages are my weak spot so I don’t know. Okay, back on topic. The parliamentary procedures were also helpful and I think that they were probably the most important. When everyone knows these the discussion go’s much faster.
Next year I think that I will be able to pull an even better role because my constant understanding of every country policies went way up after SIMUN. The nice thing was that other peopled learned all about other countries by having to deal with them. Like now I know that Indonesia is a whiny bitch. Just kidding, but seriously, he kept whining about how he needed aid from the tsunami that was about 5 years ago. I think that that was the only thing they knew about their country. Ahh well, that was my only problem with the other countries position.
I also liked having really nice suits, especially the 3 piece one.

Pakistan Invaded

Ahh, the glorious nation of Kazakhstan. A nation so united, so powerful, and so loving. Kazakhstan has no enemies, well maybe those stupid Uzbekistan, but only a tiny bit. So, what happens when Kazakhstan has to pick an enemy? Well, in the event that a country like Pakistan experiences a Taliban run coup' de ta, Kazakhstan is split. Having no enemies, Kazakhstan really has only one choice, to try and please as many countries as possible. Kazakhstan is a big country, but it feels a lot of sympathy for other smaller Islamic countries. They would probably send in troops to Pakistan to help out, but more on a peacekeeping mission, not as an invading force. Kazakhstan's role would be to keep the country alive, while the NATO countries came in and beat up the Taliban. So, umm that’s it, I’m going to go participate in the running of the Jew.
