Blog-Worthy

Yeah, I know, a lot of time has passed. But things have been sort of same-o, same-o here at the UN. And on top of that, America has not been feeling well the past several weeks and the UN has been starting to anticipate more member nations/territories in a couple of different capacities so there has been a mild bit of up-hevel in the month or so that has passed.

Last night, laughter erupted however. America was tired (to say the least...doesn't it always start that way???). And Fiji, America and Korea were sitting around the living room talking about stuff in general and movies came up. America made the remark that Honorary Spain thought there was quite a bit of difference in watching American movies in Spain verses watching them here in America. So, America being o-so-curious wondered if Korea felt the same way.

"So do you notice the difference in watching American movies in America...Fiji...whatever country you come from?" Far before the 'whatever country you come from' came out of America's mouth, America knew she was in trouble. There was no answer to that question, at least not for a while...

There was too much laughing at America. America laughing too.

Apparently though, there is no difference to Korea to watch an American movie in "whatever country Korea is from". LOL...quite literally.

Honorary Spain spent the weekend with us this weekend and America thinks it did everyone a bit of good all the way around. Friday night was spent with just America and Fiji (so nice to have a night by ourselves!) because Korea has been practicing ever-so-hard for the World's Talent Showcase (School's Talent Show) that is coming up this Saturday. Spain came Saturday afternoon and stayed till Sunday. It came as a shock to Spain when Spain realized that he only had about 30 days of school left. Shocker...10 months of school down to 30 days. So, after all the ups and downs of the trip America believes there is new motivation to seek out some things that Spain, perhaps, has been missing. Time to cross things off the bucket list!!

Along with the World's Talent Showcase, Korea also started playing Tennis...do we have another international athletic competitor on our hands???

Korea has been talking mostly about coming back. There seems to be a good chance that Korea will be back in the UN next school year which will be cool because America, Fiji, and Korea already know each other and so all that awkwardness will be avoided next fall...at least with Korea. America and Fiji are thinking of adding another country too...Fiji is voting for another Asian country: Taiwan, China, Japan, Vietnam, ...the list goes on... America thinks spicing things up with a little European flavor wouldn't be terrible but then again, biting off more than America can chew is not necessarily something that appeals to America at the moment. All things considering, whether Korea has another member nation from her region of the world or not, America is definitely up for adding a territory to the UN!

...Two or three member nations to the UN for next fall?! You may think we're crazy, and we probably are, but only time will tell who lands at GRR and steps over our door steps!
