Fun at the UN
This is a long week for me as it is UN General Assembly week in New York. Some of my work responsibilities are to coordinate and represent our company at UN functions.
This is actually a fair amount of work requiring early starts and late nights for this week and a few weeks before.
Tonight I just got back from attending the Australian Prime Minister's reception in support of the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs). AusAID has made a solid commitment to fight malaria and I am quite proud to be a naturalized citizen from this action.
I had the opportunity to meet Julia this evening as well as a few other Australian civil servants. Everyone was trying to figure out who I was wearing my Australian flag pin but sounding like a yank...it was a real trip!
I did get to enjoy some Australian wine and beer...pity there were no meat pies, sausage rolls or lammingtons but the James Boag did hit the spot!
