Today was a bit of a waste, it poured all day long and when I say poured I mean hurricane style rain. It was like a tropical monsoon that decided to unleash on Auckland. In either case I had checked my electronics and sure enough all of them except my phone was capable of converting 220v to 110v, now I only needed an adapter. $15 dollars later everything is charging and I feel much more comfortable about this whole ordeal.
On this day I also went down to the front desk and asked to stay until friday Mr. Trainee said everything was taken care of so I went back upstairs and made a little itenirary for the next day when Katy arrives.
Everything is fully charged and ready to go but with so much rain I decided it would be better off spent inside learning about New Zealand culture on the television. I watched a rugby game the Springbok versus the Wallabys... what masculine names for such a odd sport. This is basically how an entire rugby game goes:
Ref says "Crouch, Touch, Pause, Engage" and then burly men in tight clothes manhandle each other while a rugby ball rolls about the field until someone decides thats enough foreplay and picks it up. They toss it backwards get tackled, grope one another, and then repeat for 6 tackles, then the they repeat the whole thing again for the other teams possession. Why this sport is popular I have no clue. Sure it is non-stop action but I guess if your into that sweaty manhandling thing then by all means watch to your hearts content.
Also watched a movie called "Vacancy" about a couple whos car breaks down goto a motel and realize there are cameras everywhere that videotape people being murdered by the hotel owners.... prolly not the best movie for me to watch while I'm in a hotel. I thouroughly check all possible places for video cameras and nervously fall asleep.
