Embassy

As I am writing this it is pouring outside…

Today we went to the Saudi/Israeli Embassy. The Saudi Arabia one was SOO much better, our speaker had a thick Brooklyn accent and had good jokes. Not to mention everything inside the Embassy was amazing, the rugs, paintings, photographs, model buildings, and clothing.. The atmosphere was great Our RA told us the night before that we had to dress modestly and conservative, like we don’t already! They put on a Burka fashion show for us, it was very nice.

The Israeli Embassy had soo many guardsmen, that;s understandable though no one really likes them. The guy who spoke to us was so nationalistic, he thought Israel owned in everything (it doesn’t) He also said if all the Middle Eastern countries were like Israel the world would be a better place (if they had their “history”).. Yeah he definitely made it seem like they did nothing wrong. Everyone disliked him haha

On the bus drive back we stopped by the Chinese, Russian, and British Embassy (BAD ASS) there were tibetan protestors at the Chinese Embassy.. protesting.

I technically visited five countries today.

Yes, I didn’t post yesterday so i thought I’d just quickly explain my Sunday afternoon, We ran around Washington D.C. and for the first time felt like tourists. We went to most of the memorials and monuments, ate, argued about who was going to live in the white house, and took pictures!

Future home, like it or not (like it, in most cases.. well in all cases)
