Some of you may have heard that we were meant to be on different flights from Taiwan, with Greg staying a full day. However, it turns out the flight I was booked on didn't exist... so now we're on the same flight. Although all this was fixed at the counter for free, it does mean I miss my flight to Wellington by a day, and then the bastards charged me $120 to change it. I don't know if EVA Air fucked up, or if it was STA Travel, but someone is going to give me that money back or their offices will be torched. Not by me... By someone else... Who looks like me on security cameras but isn't actually me. Honest.
So today we are in Taiwan. I didn't have any money, but then my parents gave me some as emergency because I thought I was flying straight through. Taiwan uses dollars, but its 20:1 to NZ$ so I feel rich. We are going on a free tour, after free night in 5-star hotel, with free buffet breakfast and now I'm using free internet. Taiwan is a cheap place.
Also, Laser Mission is a sweet movie. It was the classic on the flight over. Classic.

Team New Zealand may have sold out
We are in Valencia. It is very nice. Warm and stuff. Not warm enough to swim, but we did do that at a beach in Tarragona next to the old amphitheatre on the way down from Barcelona. Pretty much Spain is awesome.
We went down to the America's Cup village today. It isn't finished yet but I think it will be pretty good. There was no one at the Team New Zealand base -I think they might be training in New Zealand. Most of the other teams are. Actually I should call it Emirates Team New Zealand, because that's its official name here. And also, Steinlager has been cut as a sponsor to make way for the Spanish (and pretty average) beer Estella Damm. Selling out to the man, or the senor perhaps.
We are going out tonight because one of the guy's we are staying with, his home town football team in Italy won it's first game this season (18 matches so far). He says we can't leave because us being in Valencia has been a goof luck charm.
