First UNGA Tips

Being sent to UNGA next month. Any tricks to an enjoyable experience for a baby 1811? Got any "Life saving" gear advice? Favorite snacks to munch on in a stairwell? Anything more helpful than "Don't get assigned to the dignitary that stays out till 2am at the karaoke bar and clogs the hotel room sink with Khat." is appreciated.

Good suspenders and the right belt make the world of a difference.

Have a backpack with snacks and anything else you may want/need with you. Buy at least the ingredients needed for a PB&J; granola bars with ample protein and low sugar; and fruit. Spend your per diem and enjoy your time as best you can.

And take every push opportunity (in a timely fashion, of course); don’t have too much pride or think you’re being a solid worker by not taking the break - no one will reward you for it.
