Being a tourist at the United Nations in NY !

I usually don't do the too touristic route, but I got the chance to get a VIP tour of the United Nations in NYC. I went for it and did the touristy thing - Got pictures of me sitting in the security council United States Seat, of me sitting in the Mauritius seat in the General Assembly and posed in front of the Main speaker pedestal when the Secretary General addresses the people. Reminded me of Model United Nations (MUN) that we had done in high school once. It's the most touristic thing I did in this trip, but yet all these places are where so many decisions affecting a lot of our everyday life are made !

Short Stay in London.. meeting with friends and family..

On my way to Mauritius,I stopped in London for a few days to meet up with friends and family. I stayed at my cousin Irwin's place in Kingston. Him and his wife Cheryl took very good care of me and wined and dined me very well while I was there. First day, we had a nice roast with roast veggies, gravy and Yorkshire pudding cooked by Cheryl followed by some nice Massaman Thai Curry cooked the next day by Irwin.

Second day day had lunch at Irwin's parent house and had a typical mauritian dish - Rougaille, Giraumon, Gros Pois dans Massala,Kutcha and Puri. Was so great to have some good mauritian food after a while before coming back to Mauritius - a good transition period :)

While in London I also met up with my neighbor deepti, with my cousin Ravesh, sister in law Nirma, cousin Kevin and family and friend Smeeta. Assorted pics attached.
