Day 1 : United Nations

After a very long and tiring flight through Frankfurt, we landed in New York on 30 Dec 2000. We took a taxi from the airport to the Intercontinental The Barclay New York hotel. The hotel lobby was very nice and elegant. The room was very small, but clean and comfortable.

After a short rest, we went out for a walk. The first place we visited was the United Nations. It was within walking distance from our hotel.

This is the famous General Assembly of the United Nations.


The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA / GA) is one of the five principal organs of the United Nations and the only one in which all member nations have equal representation. Its powers are to oversee the budget of the United Nations, appoint the non-permanent members to the Security Council, receive reports from other parts of the United Nations and make recommendations in the form of General Assembly Resolutions. It has also established a wide number of subsidiary organs.
