Auckland, New Zealand

Im not liking the idea that we leave South America on a Thursday, and arrive in Auckland NZ on Saturday morning. This means, for those of you sharp enough to work it out, that i have lost a whole day of my life crossing the date line. As i was not really aware of this before i bought my STA round the world ticket, i feel somewhat robbed of 'a day in the life'. I do feel very unhappy with this situation, but i am told that i get to collect the hours back as i work my way back to the UK. Phew. So keep an eye out by the end of this trip for bonus hours of fun that should have been here. Enough waffling done,

It was a bad day, I wandered on The Quarter Old Street and Hoan Kiem Lake all afternoon. On the late afternoon, I wanted to find a quite place for my dinner but I changed my idea when seeing Kiti Restaurant on Hang Hom street. There was a buffet party in the restaurant, and so many people joined, they were funny to talk together. I wanted to join it because I thought I should have change my bad feeling. I came in and joined the party but I didn't talk to anyone, I only listened to their talking and I felt more funny. I called one big beer, after two beer, both drunk and saw everyone telling together. There was a waiter coming me and asked what I needed and she invited me try some dishes in the buffet party. At the time, I was hungry and I wanted to try some dishes although I didn't have mood to eat.
The girl catched talk to me, she both asked how I felt the dishes and told me about mean of dishes. I felt more funny and felt dishes delicious. Then I ate quite much. After the buffet party in Kiti, I came back home with good mood.
It was surprised that I had only to pay 200,000 VND for my pax. It was so cheap with so many dishes.
Wandering on The Old Quarter Street and enjoining the party in Kiti Restaurant helped me come back. I felt well and smiled with everybody, everything was easier to me. So more and more I love Hanoi and The Old Quarter Street where I am living near.

I want ´that day´ back.
