Canada

 

Damn these US customs people. I had no problem at all but they’re so INTIMIDATING that I sweated more fluid than I thought was possible. I dread to think what it’s like when you have done something wrong.

They weren’t impressed with my iPod dock connector, I think they saw it as some kind of bomb detonator.

In other news I sat next to a lovely American man who sketched all sorts of wildlife and people from photographs, and who gave me a signed print of a dingo’s face he’d done, which was really nice. I just hope it’s in one piece when I get home…

Now, I’d better get back, I don’t want to miss out on anyone going out for dinner. A review of Tomb Raider 2 might be on its way, though obviously not covering any of the violent bits. What a strange world, where you just fall over after bad men walk threateningly towards you.

  1. Glad to hear you got in safe and sound =)
    I can’t believe you initiated conversation with the person next to you. I never do that, I always expect that knowing my luck I’ll get a creepy one so never bother.
    I have no idea what you’re on about with that ‘strange man walking threateningly toward you’ thing, but then, I haven’t seen Tomb Raider.

  2. They edited out much of the violence for the plane version, so often we’d only see the beginning and aftermath of any particularly brutal fight.

  3. You should have seen kill bill on the plane. It consisted of the Miramax logo and then the credits.

  4. Sounds like quite an improvement.

  5. No way! Kill Bill rocked! The first Tarantino film I’ve liked, but then I’d only seen Pulp Fiction.
