try not to open any doors

Some trips just don't end the way you'd like. 

Upon arrival we made our way over to the car parked at the airport. After stripping down every piece of luggage, we sadly realized that my mum misplaced the keys somewhere along trip. 

This caused a lot of hair-pullage because we were so ready to go home by that time, and that is a rare thing because my mom and I are the two most easy going people on the planet, especially my mom. 

Example:

In high school, I once thought that somebody had stolen the car. I called my mom and told her that the car was taken, and she told me to relax and not to worry about it. Most parents would castrate their children over the phone, but my mom just kept cool. I found the car later after realizing I'd parked it elsewhere. 

Long story short, my mum and aunt were towed away and spent the night in Mississauga, where they would await a new set of keys the next morning. My mom cried because she felt so stupid, and I hate seeing my mom cry. I'm sure once she ate a Bounty bar and drank a Diet Coke everything was cool. 

or lack thereof

friends!

i'm sorry, and not sorry for the absence of postage on this blog.
my main reason for this is because I poorly planned how I would keep the battery on this infernal machine charged. i'd heard there would be converters brought with us, but only of the two-prong variety, and this thing needs the big juice.
so yes, i am sorry for the lack of entries.

apparently macs do not even exist in eastern europe. i've searched everywhere for a charger that would be compatible with european electrical sockets, to no avail. i concluded that these past few countries i've visited aren't quite as developed as those in the west, and there are no signs of modern gadgetry in sight. no mac advertisements, no computer stores, and no screaming spolied kids with ipods, which has been quite nice to be honest.

with that in mind, please be patient and treat every post as if it were a savoury hunk of gold, because holy shit is it hard to find adapters here. this has been my first charge since Berlin and i'm already at the Ramada Plaza in Budapest.
