little by little this trip is falling into place. i just chatted with an hp technician who told me that that big thing on my power cord is an adaptor that can support european voltage and frequency. all i need is an italian plug, of which i should have at home since i bought a set before our london trip in january. can you beleive it, i will have spent the last two new years in flight or other countries. i'm amazed. i'm bewildered. i'm a travelling man. i'm awesome.

now, it's over and i have to worry about classes again. it was cool while it lasted.
