First day in Auckland

Okay, as of today, I'm two-thirds done with my Auckland trip. I've met a lot of new people, I've hung out with ladies that are sooo not the type I hang out with and I've met a lot of poker players and made new friends.

Anyway, my first night here was interesting in itself.

The original plan was that Devin was going to pick me up from the airport and take me to the place I'm staying at and then take me to the casino where we'd have a meal before I play. But it turned out to be far from what I'd expect thing to turn out.

When Devin picked me up, he got called to a job at a hospital so I ended up watching him work for two hours. On the way home, Devin's friend Dave drove and on the highway, he might have cut into some dude who ended up chasing us till we found a public place to stop. When we did, the guy got out and started bashing on Dave while me and Dev kept breaking it up. We ended up in a police station giving our statement for about two hours.

Finally, I made my way to the casino and won 300 bucks on my first night.

It wasnt how I envisioned my first night would go.. but it was eventful at the very least.
