It was truly one of the most instructive workshops I worked in. I’m not “throwing flowers” to your team, although the female members of the American legislative group were gorgeous, smart, elegant and lovely by all standards. This is why, they would have deserved a full garden of beautiful roses and flowers for each of them.And I really mean it.I confirmed many of my positive thoughts for your Nation and I will continue to convey those to my people.
Read you soon and thanks.

I’m reminded of a story a Mongolian friend of mine told me about her first business trip to China. She didn’t speak Chinese, she had ok “Menu Chinese”, but her associates were mostly fluent. On the menu, she saw what she thought was a noodle dish, but was concerned because she thought one word translated to “worms.” Her colleagues assured her that it was a tasty dish, as did the waiters.

“Genevieve,” she said to me. “My dish came and..oh, oh, my noodles had EYES!” Oh my. A very good strategy, therefore, your “don’t order unless I know exactly what it is,” one is. :)

The togetherness you brought from the US was just amazing. How people from different states, different parties, different sectors of activity and interests manage to give such a UNITED “family picture”? And I said to myself:What A Wonderful World This Would Be! No, that’s a song. I said to myself that this is the way it should be! Technically, I did not learn much from that workshop. But I did learn a lot on other grounds. All I can say about the American team is BRAVO! I sincerely hope you cought something from what was coming in your headphones. No kidding! Hope to be there next time you come to Algeria for another workshop. Just stay as we’ve seen you. The May Flower, The Founding Fathers, The Puritain Dream and The Go West are still up to date. Wish you the best.

What a wonderful comment. I truly meant what I said–the interpreters were superb. We all learned a lot.
