First day in Auckland

I Landed and after some time i got  through the strict securety, the biosecurity and the common passport check.

My taxi-driver was waiting for men and he were to take me on a holy journey. 

We walked out of the airport and it was here that it came to my mind that i might not now anything about cars here, I couldn't recognize a single one, there was a Mercedes but have not seen the model before, it was like a VW minivan but different, and then there was all the Hondas, Fords and everything else which were either a model wich have stayed in USA or a car that I have seen in Europe but with a different name tag on it.

We drove on and i waited to see the first BMW, before that happend we had a talk about the taxi-drivers car which he had converted into LPG(gas). We went on talking losely about Auckland in general until we hit the subject "Language". We talked about how the people in scandinavian could understand each other when speaking slowly and how the different regions of India(where he was from) couldn't, and all of this lead the conversation on to the one and only, god himself. There is often spoken about that you have to know your receiver to be succesful on stage, and I think what the problem was in the taxi is that I'm not a believer, and then its hard to follow op on the input from him, not saying it wasn't exciting I just lost part of the conversation and became a listener. THE FIRST BMW AND THEN ITS AN X6, not bad. Then we went back to talk about Auckland and why it is build as it is. 

I got to the hotel and the first problem was: how do i connect my self to the rest of the world. My mobile ran out of prepaid in Sidney and I have received a sms from a guy called Torsten who comes from Germany and also were to start at BMW NZ the following monday. So i had to get in contact with him so it would not be a solo evening in a foreign country. 

I managed to get a few tips and tricks of survival in Auckland by the taxi driver and ran to the nearest Countdown supermarket to buy a prepaid sim-card. 

I got in contact with him and we took a Taxi to the harbor to get a relaxing beer and enjoy ourselves. we then went on to find some place to eat and we found a place called Fox's Ale House after speaking to a local. We went inside and it was a nice Irish pub where we ordered 2 beers and 2 Radio sport burgers, and that was a burger with food in it and not the usual McD plastic. The cheese was brie, the bacon were tasty, there was an egg inside and rucola salad, just perfect end on the first day. Afterwards we had to go back to the hotel because I was about to fall asleep due to the traveling.

And that ends the first day the only problem was to chose which of the two double beds I would sleep in :)
