I’m not sure why I am so bad at getting things. I crack under pressure. I go out and buy the things i think are cool then i think about them and i wonder if anyone else would like them. For instance, i totally missed the chance to bring back Japanese candy. DUH! Why would i not pick some up. Okay, i had all intentions of picking some up but I thought it could wait for the airport. My train ended up being canceled while i was waiting on the platform and the other came an hour later. In that hour, I was walking around totally confused and thought i missed the train. i just hopped on the next train heading to the airport and hoped that the ticket man would let me be. I had to do a mad dash through the airport to get to my gate on time.
Anyhow, here are most of the things i brought back. Some stuff i have people in mind for. If someone is really expecting a good gift from me (dad, ebony, mom, snipper, loren, aileen, mari, marcia, ajana, jillian, tyler, sonya, add your name here, etc) then my bad. come over and pick up something or just consider my steady blogging and staying up late to post photos my gift to you. it was a lot of work 
I’m so nervous no one will like the things i even considered not giving any of it out just to avoid letting someone down. oh man, why is this so hard?
i didn’t think till i got home that i should have picked up this hat for Snipper (my step-dad) as well. ARGH!
mom, you like tea right? It came from the National Art Museum. I walked a LONG way to go to this place on tuesday only to find out they were closed. I went back the next day (be for my flight) to look for something.

i’m adding my name for the monkey. though my name should be there already.
yes i’m in holland. so?
i’m just joking.
(not)
you got it ouxu.
I hear what you’re saying but based on your photos, it seems as if you’ve joined the black market or something with the amount of stuff you brought back, lol.
haha, yeah but umm it was all under $375 (what i said on the customs form)
i think that from the pics of all the “stuff” — i’m going to just stick with the photos of the trip and enjoy that. it seems a little less complicated that way
thanks though! it was definitely the thought that counts.
wait…i think i misread - i would much rather take the thing that you thought i might enjoy. i thought it was a free-for-all(if it is…then you have to pick something and tell me the story behind it) i trust your taste
You are absolutely right I love tea! Is that a teacup I see for me???!!! Cigar for Snip?
I agree with Ajana, the photos and documentation of your trip, and your safe return are more than enough.
note: If you think you want to copy a poster-sized copy of the picture of the bambo that would be absolutely lovely!!
hey…where did you get that orange watch?
Yes yes yes…it’s just the thought that counts and the fact that you came back is your gift to us
Hey, has anyone claimed that giant bottle of liquor…just kidding 
Can I have a match box? lol.. I’ll take whatever is left… if im in the gift giving loop.
life is a photoshoot.. BK taught me that one..
John, that orange watch is from nooka. you can find them on amazon.com they’re pretty hot. I’m kinda regretting not picking up 2 or 5 other watches i came across though
