helped myself to all four seats across the atlantic. yum thanksgiving dinner.
watched goodfellas - timeless. best line: "whoever sold you those suits had a wonderful sense of humor." also decided the best line from any movie, ever, is: "do they speak english in what?"

buildings out of place anywhere but here
the choicest street names..
..but so much for communism. nothing says 'every man for himself' like de-centralized air.
stark gender disparities
sewage system pizazz
i know a few hermit crabs back home who would love to try on that outfit..
..and for upper-body strength, nobody beats this critter.
summertime christmas lends itself to all sorts of new interpretations of santa
noted only two modes of transit. the wedding brigade..
