The United Nations

Oct 15th. The day starts out cloudy but clears up into bright sunshine (again). I head over to the United Nations which actually sits in International Territory (owned by 192 member nations) rather than on US soil. After clearing security, I do a guided tour around the place seeing the chamber where Economics are debated and also the General Assembly Chamber. Unfortunately the Security Council is off limits as they were discussing Iran at the time - bit inconsiderate really. We learn some interesting facts along the way and also see various presents that some of the member countries have given - The Japanese donated a garden, The Chinese a sculpture made of Ivory!! (before it was made illegal).
