Yes you heard it right, Ageing. Are you going to talk about recent breakthrough to prevent ageing process? How to stay young in such an old age? Well, pretty much. A year preparatory I’ve been through will be pour in into this real conference. A bulk of books, journals, and its friends will eventually show their action as I’m doing my role as Samoa’s diplomat. oke up in a gloomy face, started the day with a pillowfaced around the hostel. The first conference of HNMUN 2013 was welcomed by a heavy snowfall. Right after I finished my breakfast, I grabbed my Coat, my fully equipped bag, and a cup of fresh brewed-coffee. Off I go to my conference venue, 10 minutes by walking. Oh well, my stilettos, as part of young diplomat attire, won’t let me arrive to Boston Park Plaza Hotel safely. I decided to change it into a pair of boots first, and change to stilettos as I arrived to the venue.
