OK, it's almost 8:30 and I'm absolutely starving. I'm in my hostel in Budapest and will be heading out for some food in just a moment, but i noticed that the computer here was free so i figured i'd post this first. i'm dead tired, hungry (worth repeating) and totally disoriented and pretty much alone. There's a bunch of people around here, yes, but i'm so whacked out right now that I can hardly stand straight never mind hold down a conversation. I'll leave that for tomorrow. not sure how long i've been awake, but its gotta be over 36 hours now. I did manage to scrape up the energy to have a shower. that was nice, even as it alternated between scorching and freezing. yes, I know i'll have to get used to that.

Lots of weird things happening so far; maybe I'll be able to describe them in more detail later, but they involve an emergency ipod replacement and subway evacuations due to suicides on the tracks in Toronto and a steep fine for misunderstanding the Budapest metro system (there's no transfer from one subwayy train to another on a single ticket, apparently)

k, that's it for now. Rico's good, btw. his new place is cool.
