Lenneth: I have really weird dreams to, mostly about me having my teeth fall out because of how much sugar I eat.

I was driving down a French motorway with someone, and we decided it would be a good idea to stop at a hotel/motel kind of place on the side of the road for the night. The hotelier in very broken english advised that it would be about 300 EUR per night - and by this stage it was already 1 or 2am so we really didn't care, but still were relatively shocked at the price all the same considering it was just a small not-too-flash place...
Then all of a sudden, at whatever time in the morning, a bus load of Japanese tourists arrived. If we booked the rooms all together, the hotelier said, we could book out the entire complex for 20,000,000 Japanese yen per night (which seems rather steep, considering that's about a quarter million NZD) - but in the dream the Jap tourists jumped at the chance and even paid for our room too.
Once in the room, I proceeded to rip out everything electronic, including the phone jack, and attempt to hide it all in a tiny little chest of drawers (I still have no idea what the purpose of this was). However, the next morning, the hotelier was very greatful for my "renovations" - but he said he didn't have any yen left to give to me to show his gratitude, so asked if "twenties would do". I said sure, to which he handed me a supermarket bag full of NZ 20c pieces, and we were on our way again.

willnz: I'm so glad I moved away from HB - breeding ground of loonies I tells ya!
However, I have also been having some insanely odd dreams lately, (which probably stems from being born in Hawkes Bay :p).
