being west

i'm home.

i didn't sleep for three days.

i was on airplanes or in airports for 27 hours straight. and for about 18 just the day before that.

belgium is/was a disaster. the taxi drivers drive mercedes and take credit cards and charge 38 euros for sixteen kilometers. i am never going back to belgium.

i will write more when i am properly awake.

meanwhile. i'm happy to be sitting at my computer in my bathrobe, although i very much miss the former yugoslavia. oh! i got an email from our bosnian hostel friends today!

oh yes, and i have strep throat again.
