The big smoke.

Had a night here stopping over. I really don't like this city apart from the funparks which we didn't have time to go to. The beach is good though as theres only about a bum-to-normal person ratio of about 1/10 so you don't feel tooooo guilty. Oh yes.. also felt compelled to mention that my first strike of bad luck occurred when i was stuck sitting next to an overly odorous (yet nice so i just couldn't bring myself to hate her) greek women for the 12 hour auckland-LA flight. Found myself hoping for the plane to depressurise just so the oxygen masks would fall graciously from the heavens. Again, no luck there.
