職権乱用？

One of the best things about my current job is that I have been given some opportunities to travel to other countries. Earlier this month I had two missions back to back- physically brutal indeed yet wonderful experience. I first went to Dhaka for a few days to attend a meeting. The highlight (of course other than the meeting on migration issues) was to see my friend whom I have not seen for almost a year. We just sat in my simple hotel room with lime soda, but it was great to catch up with her albeit a very short time- just over an hour before I ran back to the airport! Then I got stuck in a horrible traffic and nearly missed my flight to the next destination...... Morocco!!

I have been always wanting to visit Morocco. It was really a dream came true. I was there only for three days, most of which I spent attending a conference on gender responsive budgeting, but I tried to absorb "morocco-ness" as much as possible. The conference was inspiring, and I met many nice people, agency colleagues from other countries as well as strong Moroccan women. It was also so nice to (at least try to) speak French. I would say this trip was more like a teaser, and I definitely have to go back there some time with a large suitcase. And you know why!
