Double Up

Yesterday was very interesting for Tyler and I. We left the apartment at around 4 to head to a bar where they were playing live music. Unfortunately we only had American money so we had to ask around to find an exchange center to be able to buy our beers. For the next two hours we went from place to place trying to find someone open to exchange our money finally after about a 2 mile walk and un countable rejections we ended up at the Sky tower, Auckland’s version of Seattle’s Space Needle. There we found a bank that was open till 11pm and they finally exchanged our money. We only exchanged $27 because that was all we had unfortunately that would buy us about 2 1/2 beers. Coincidently we stumbled across the Sky-Tower Casino, destiny…..I think so. After a short deliberation Tyler and I decided to put our luck on the line and try to double our money. We used the ol’ kerlin Black Jack sure fire way of winning (family secret, If I told you we would have to kill you). Anyway, after a quick hand, we had $67 in our pockets and we were out the door. Finally we ended up back at the bar found a seat and ordered our beers. They tasted just a bit better today than they have in the past. It was not more than 5 min after we sat down that a group of Kiwi’s (locals) invited us to sit at their table and bought us drinks. To sum it up, it was about 3 hours later that we left the bar with a whole new group of friends and a full belly. Next time life throws you a hand….double up!
