Big Boys Toys

This morning Anisha and I went to The Coffee Club in Botany Downs. Not a minute went by after we made and paid for our order, the lights went out. The Coffee Club had a power-cut. When I investigated a bit further, it looks like a large selection of the shops on one side of Town Centre Drive has also been effected.

I had paid for our breakfast on my MasterCard, but due to the power outage, had to accept refund via cash. Once we left, we looked around and ordered our breakfast from Robert Harris.

After Breakfast, we went to the Big Boys Toys show. It is held at the ASB Showgrounds in Greenlane, Auckland. It is held from Friday 9th November to Sunday 11th November. Entry is NZ$18 for adults.

Interesting Highlights from the show included my opportunity to ride on a Segway, and the BMX stunt show (BMX Freestyle Team) that was held in the Arena.

Later in the day, I took Anisha to Harvey Norman in Manukau City to look at some cellphones.

One other thing, on Friday night I went to Harvey Norman in Botany and bought a new cellphone. I bought a Motorola RAZR V3x for NZ$299. I used the NZ$50 gift voucher that Charlene and Nick gave me for my birthday.

Useless Information: It is believed that in a small town in North Eastern part of India (Jatinga) birds commit suicide in a particular 1.5 km long and around 200 meters wide strip of field area. These birds are not suicidal since their behavior may be attributed to heavy rains and floods and submergence of their natural habitat in the surrounding areas. Also the local villagers light torches which attract the birds migrating at night. They then clobber them to death with bamboo poles and eat them!
