Lost in Auckland and just saying yes

So I'm sitting in a little internet cafe on the super busy Queen St. in downtown auckland. I just finished up the worst white choclate mocha I have ever tasted in my life...I got in at 6:30 or so this morning after 18 hours in the air...Im super awake which is weird...Waiting in the airport in Charlotte I met Debbie and Shelby (mother daughter duo) and talked with them for a bit...they concluded that I am a bit crazy but wished me the best....On the plane I sat next to a recent dental school grad and we talked for a good hour about her family history and the complexity of her religion (Hinduism)..It was interesting...I eventually made it to LA where met up with my uncle jason for a bite to eat....On the plane from LA to Auckland I sat next to this lady from Pittsburgh who was coming to see her son and daughter-in law in Auckland...She cursed a ton about how long the flight was and kept complaining about how she couldnt pop her ears....it was entertaining to say the least....after going thru customs and getting my bags I met up with Jason B....yes the guy that my sister met on facebook...he turned out not to be a serial killer or anything haha...I got a ride back to his flat, he gave me the 411 on stuff and headed off to school....then i wondered around the streets near Mt Eden until the bank opened...once I got some cash in hand I hopped on a completely random bus and luckily landed in downtown Auckland....I drank a real bad coffee, tried not to die crossing the street, and now am sitting in this little cafe....oh and pay phones here are the more confusing than algebra.....overall im stoked about finally getting here
