Geneva

Well here i am, typing on a foreign keyboard that doesnt have spell check and some keys are in weird wonky places, in the apple store in the older section on Geneva (funny ay! the store has like 10 computers on display that anyone can use to access the net!). We have been to the ICRC and managed to ask the president some questions regarding youth involvement and access to the ICRC, to which we got some imteresting answers, with his comments hinting that a youth delegate role has potential! This afternoon we are off to the Federation to have a look around and meet a few important people before heading off for the official closing ceremony. We went on a tour yesterday and i have to admit that NZ is seriously missing out in the history department. houses and cathedrals that are more than twice the age of civilisation in NZ.. i mean seriously i was in speechless (the photos dont do the cathedral justice at all).
Unfortunatly i cant upload pictures here (brie and i have hundreds) so ill have to try and get some up when i get back to nz. The NZ flag i scavanged while in Italy has nearly been covered in comments from around the world so will have to make sure that it gets displayed somewhere when we get back. We leave at 6am tomorrow for Milan and in total will have 50 hours of travel before us, hopefully singapore will have the ability to upload photos.
Till then, turn up the heat in NZ as im use to hot dry weather so remove the snow and make it more welcoming please!
