delay

I'm gonna apologise, i promised photos from my last road trip but my computer still hasn't gotten up to speed yet. i had brought my old windows 98 laptop with me this trip to donate to India when i got there, but it looks like i'm making good use of it now, in lieu of my mac. i don't really believe in luck, but i always get shafted, the one rarity that goes wrong with anything happens with me. like a few years ago, when i bought my first car, within the first month, the ignition switch blew out on me. who's ever heard of an ignition switch breaking down? and then when i got my other car, the fuel pump konked out. apparently for hondas, that almost never happens.

so yea, i'm back at things at the 'port. its been pretty stressful. work in new jersey was great, you come to work, things are fairly predictable, you do it. sure days might get kinda long but its good. since i've been back i've encountered one after another of unforeseen issues. here are a couple examples:

the dates of my india classes have changed to jan 5-25th now. as opposed to the original 9-28th. and its too late to change the flights, i've having problem after another finding a place to stay since i've been back. i had a bed and dinner booked for this saturday, and i thought i had sorted out my living with other people. but things keep changing. thankfully a neighbour just moved out, so i'm sleeping in their empty apartment right now. its not that bad, and it was better than trying to squeeze into a small two bedroom apartment in the living room

so yea, thats my week so far. when i get my computer back, i'll post those pictures. actually when i think about the pics, i think half of them are pictures of food. i should be a food critic or food photographer or something. I dunno there's something about food that helps me learn and appreciate a culture and new place better.

agreed with you on the food. in my case, i'm learning that a lot of Ecuadorian food is very similar to Asian cuisine - complete with wierd stuff too!

aight, we'll make deal - you photograph, and i'll write the critique. we'll call it "DnD's pick of the Week"
