so after 20+ hours on planes and airports; i'm finally home! very excited despite the 90 minute interruption at customs where the contents of all of my luggage were conveniently put on display. i'm not sure whether it was my faux-hawk / the bags under my eyes from being awake for the past 44+ hours / or the fact that i just traveled through 4 countries in 4 weeks without spending more than 200 bucks in souvenirs; but something caught their attention. my bags were x-rayed (literally) three ways to get the right angle. after the first half hour i just gave up and tried to make light of the situation. i got the customs guy to crack the slightest of smiles but they've got those guys trained pretty good and i'm sure they could get through a north korean concentration camp without breaking. the best part was trying to explain van's bra that managed its way into my suitcase from the bangkok trip. it all turned out well, i imagine it always does when you have nothing to worry about; and instead of getting stressed i just allowed myself to joke about the entire situation.

highlight of the day: zen's first hug when i got home nearly cutting off circulation
