In my journey eastside I have encountered many things. As I emerged, face drinking the sun, just starting on my journey, I felt liberation and anticipation for what was to come. A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step, as we are wont to say. It was good to stand tall after [...]

Apart from being the, and I quote, “largest collection of white tits and ass you’ll ever find” (no prize for guessing who said it), SiMUN was actually quite a lot of fun.
