30. My journey in Bangkok, Thailand with Asia Youth International Model United Nations

-
Our cultural diversity has most certainly shaped our national character - Julie Bishop 
I was so pleased to be a delegate of Morocco at Asia Youth International Model United Nations which took place from the 3rd to the 6th of November 2018 in Bangkok, Thailand. 




This magical trip took me more than 15 hours to get from Rabat (where I am currently doing my internship) to Bangkok has given me the precious chance to meet new friends and inspiring people from all over the world

I also got to discover a little bit Bangkok even though the program was very condensed. 
I had the chance to explore some of its very beautiful temples where hundreds of Buddhas are peacefully laying there and receiving gifts from locals as well as tourists.

I was also very happy when I was announced the most outstanding delegate of the Crisis Committee. My happiness was huge when I could proudly wave the Tunisian flag since I was the only Tunisian among 1077 other delegates.

I am really thankful for everyone who believed in me and supported me in this journey because, it wasn't easy at all. 

This is just the beginning and the best is yet to come ...

56. Podcasts you will love

Source:  Unsplash/Mohammad Metri Wearing makeup? Doing the dishes? Cooking? Coloring?  Driving? Working out?  All of the above activities are always, and mainly accompanied by my list of saved podcasts.  I do enjoy listening to them because they keep me focused on what my hands and the rest of my body are doing (magical !) When I was a student, I took part in a radio show where I used to talk about the Tunisian culture and its different aspects in a Moroccan university, and it was fun!  Since then, I started enjoying listening to the voices without putting any faces on, and it's amazing.  Only a few senses are engaged in this process.  I was lucky to find some recommended podcasts from my friends, random internet users found on Google, automatic suggestions based on my search history and word-of-mouth.  Through this blog entry, I would like to do the same and share some of the shortlisted podcasts, for whom it might interest:  1.

49. Nos fiançailles: tout, lui et moi

-
Image
Aujourd'hui, en recevant les photos de nos fiançailles, je parcours les différents albums et je me remémore tous les moments vécus, les blagues racontées, les taquineries partagées et les émotions dégagées pendant cette soirée charmante. Un peu plus de 5 mois de préparatifs, commémorés par cette cérémonie regroupant famille, ami-e-s et collègues. Cela a commencé par le choix de la date, le choix de la bague et les accessoires, ensuite la conception des robes, la sélection des fournisseurs, les profondes recherches, et les heures passées sur Excel pour centraliser toutes ces informations. Ce fut un grand projet dont les fiançailles étaient la cérémonie de clôture (une blague à ne pas faire au bureau!)  Les jours précédant l'événement, on ne parlait que de ça. A table, par messages, pendant les weekends et même pendant les pauses au bureau, la cérémonie des fiançailles était toujours la star des discussions. Pas une seule robe, mais deux!  Ma tante Meryem a toujours été la styli...

35. Once AUIer, Always AUIer

Image
I have been scrolling through my social media the past two days and all that I have been seeing was the pictures of Al Akhawayn University's 22nd commencement ceremony. My friends, their friends, their families, their loved ones ... It reminded me of myself one year ago, in the exact same place.   Photo/ Ouejdane Sabbah After four long years of hard labor, bitter coffees, illimited hot salty tears, tight deadlines, tough individual and group projects, tens of papers and thousands of words, a magical moment happened.  The moment I was holding the Tunisian red beautiful flag walking through the gymnasium where the ceremony was held, where hundreds of proud parents were impatiently waiting to hear their children's names graduating and where the AUI experience was about to end for some of us.   I could remember holding my tears in public just to avoid the panda eyes because of the mascara.  I could see myself in 2014, as a freshman, di...
