When I did eventually get back I was so pissed off I was f-ing and blinding for a couple of hours, it wasn't that the single event that was so annoying, it was that it was the second time it had happened to me, last time was just before the earthquake. I was calmed down and spent the rest of the night chatting to a really cool American guy telling me about New Orleans and some other places I plan to visit in the States. I remembered that I had a been given a fake $20,000 note at some point and gave it to a friends friend who was a local, she gave me the change for it as he had managed to use it, result, at least a little good came of the night. The fake is really obvious to spot, in hindsight I should have know better, it was a piece of paper with the money printed on it, no hallmark or anything.
