Countdown to BERMUN 2009/Introductions

[JBowlesHBHS]

Since it seems I am one of the first to notice the opening of this new forum, I would like to be the one to start a topic! Only 29 days until the 2009 BERMUN conference starts, so until then lets hear about people who are going. Go ahead and state your name, country of origin, age, favorite music, or whatever you want people to know.

Ill start:
My name is John Bowles and i am from Huntington Beach, California in the United States. I can't wait to go to Berlin as it will be my first trip over to Europe and am looking forward to meeting new people and seeing new things.

Hey John and everybody else,

Great that you started. You probably noticed the opening of this forum even before I did!

Anyway, my name is Max Jürgens, I am 18 yrs old and attend the JFK school. I love soccer, rowing, and latin music (and can't hide a secret admiration for classical soundtracks...). I have four sisters: three younger ones and an older sister currently studying in england. I've attended a lot of conferences, but BERMUN somehow beats all of them -every year anew... A more detailed discription of me can also be found on the actual BERMUN webpage.

See you all soon!

Max

Hi everybody,

I will continue with this nice round of introductions the two of you have started here:
My name is Alisa J. Priess, I am 18 years old and attend the Evangelische Schule Frohnau in the northern part of Berlin. Of course I love MUN, but apart from that I enjoy singing in a choir (or in front of the mirror, alone in my room ), dancing, reading, painting and meeting my friends. I have participated in many conferences, both as a delegate and as a chair. This will be my last BERMUN and I'm really excited to serve as PGA!
See you all soon!

[DSG09_Ina]

Hello everybody,

I guess I'll continue the round of introductions... My name is Ina Fischer and I am a 19-year-old teenager from Berlin, Germany. I've taken part in BERMUN for the past two years and enjoy it every year anew. I am already looking forward to youth from all over the world coming together here in Berlin to take part in this unique experience.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring what the city of Berlin has to offer and constantly stumble across new venues and locations for recreational and leisure activities. I take great interest in art, music, theater and sports... Sadly, my passion for surfing is something I can't regularely dwell upon here in the capital.

Just as Max already stated, if you'd like to find out a little bit more about me, just go to the 'Student Officer' section of the BERMUN website. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have... we're happy to help!

See you soon,

Ina

Dear BERMUN Participants,

I would also like to welcome you to this year´s BERMUN forum.
It makes me especially happy to be part of such a great conference in my hometown! I hope that this forum will be used as a rich source for research and lobbying. It is a good idea to find some lobbying partners before the actual conference to make things easier and more efficient. The forum is a great opportunity to do so AND to simply get to know each other.
By that chance I will introduce myself: My name is Marcel Starfinger, I am 18 years old and will serve as Deputy Secretary-General. I like to play music and enjoy soccer and swimming.
I am looking forward to this year´s conference and hope that it will be a great opportunity for all of us.

Sincerely,

Marcel

Hi there delegates!
My name is Bo Altena, I'm 13 years old and I live in Hardenberg, a small town in the Netherlands. I go to school at the Vechtdal College. I really like to draw, read Manga (Japanese Comics, such as Death Note). I also like to text message with friends. For the rest I love to go out, watch movies with the ones I love and to hockey. I guess that's it, although. I'm excited, and I think BerMUN is going to be great. I'll be representing El Salvador at the Human Rights Committee. See you there!

[cypressangel]

Hello BERMUN delegates! I think this forum idea is great and it made me even more excited about the conference
My name is Konstantina Angelides, I am originally from Houston, Texas in the United States, but i am spending the year in Cyprus and attending the American International School in Cyprus. I am 14 years old and a freshman, and this is my first year doing anything related to Model UN (in fact, I'd never even heard of it before moving to Cyprus ). I absolutely love music - my life pretty much revolves around it - and my family is very musical. I appreciate all types of music and listen to just about every genre, but my favorite is rock and hard rock. I play concert percussion and drumset, and a little bit of piano. (Well ok I'm pretty bad at piano but those years of lessons give me an excuse to pretend like I play well.) I also like to write and read, and my secret obsessions are Ben & Jerry's ice cream at 2 in the morning, the HBO John Adams series, and latino boys I will be representing Thailand in the Environmental Committe and I really look forward to this trip. Even though I'm a little freaked out right now, I know it'll be lots of fun!! See ya there
