speed blogging

I'm in an internet cafe on Queen's street and I only have 8 minutes left.

Why am I in a subterranean internet "cafe" (only, no food or drink ?!) hours after landing here when I could be outside trekking to a park or sitting by the harbor? Because our very brilliant plan failed. Jules and I made a fantastic plan, BUT I think she gave me her calling card number instead of her friend's number. (a perfectly ordinary error). The only problem is that I was supposed to meet up with Jules + friend by calling the friend. Whoops. So, I think I need to go BACK to the airport to meet up with J when she comes in around 5. This has been a real adventure. Auckland rocks so far. How did we live without cell phones!

Hightlights:
Instead of "Yield" signs here tell you to "Give way". They also entreat you to give bikes 1.5 m (!) instead of only three feet. The only news from the US that I've heard is about Tiger Woods' public apology.
