Last night I got into Tauranga and stayed at Owen's place. Today I took the van into a mechanic and had some basic things fixed that he thought might help. Spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, etc. Unfortunately $200USD later it didnt help much. Tomorrow I will have an auto electric place check it out and plug in a scanner. I drove back to Owen's around 6 and arrived just in time for dinner. He has a very nice family. His dad used to work at the Tui Brewery in the mid 70's and he had an interesting view of the New Zealand Maori situation. After dinner we went to EZ video and rented 6 movies. Three of which I really wanted to see: Once Were Warriors, Donnie Darko, and Whale Rider. We watched the first one which was a depressing realistic view of Maori living in the south Auckland ghetto. Next we watched Donnie Darko which was an amazing film that I highly recommend. It was very intense, I want to watch it again. Soon it was past midnight. We each made an amazing sandwhich and decided to watch the other popular NZ movie, Whale Rider, which was also good. 3 great movies in one night, it was sweet as.
