OBAMA
April 3rd : Today was an extremly exciting and hectic day. we all met up around 9am at the cinema with everybody looking very nicely dressed. the whole operation was a little unorganized but with three thousand people what can you do. they put us all on busses and we rode to an old ice rink where we waited for a bit then we walked over to the Rhénus where we waited some more for obama to walk out. everytime a black man wearing a suit walked out people stood up and cheered but only to be dissapointed haha. finally at about 2ish he came out and the whole stadium went crazy! of course my camera dies as soon as he walks out but i can get pictures from other students so its not so bad. he gave a 20 min speech then there was a 30 min Q&A session, he is a brilliant man and handled himself well. he did not say anything too controversal which might have been for the best but you could tell his main goal was unity and an all around peaceful world. a few kids got interviewed, some french and some american, i was one of the americans but i dont think i made it on TV, oh well. everything was finally over around 5 and it was an all around life changing day. :]
