the arrival...

Yesterday I arrived in chisinau. Despite flying into Chisinau, it took quite awhile to clear the final hurdle of passport control, as it took another hour - let's just say that lines in this part of the world are more like controlled riots in which it is best to get behind an elbowing-babushka and wait for the holes to open up. it's like a marathon, except it takes an hour to move a few feet.

More in a bit, once i figure out what the heck i'm doing... and let me know who is reading this, either via facebook or the comment section...
