Queenstown is basically a small resort town with amazing views and plenty of trendy bars, yuppie cafes and pricey boutiques. There are tourists from all over the world and they are everywhere you turn. I have been especially surprised by the number of Chinese here as well as the huge amount of Brazilians. The hostel itself is a mini international hub and on any given day you could have breakfast with a Dutch, lunch with a Chinese family, "tea" with some Brits and finish up with dinner alongside some Swedes and Canadians. Some are just passing through, others are staying for a few days and many are looking for work and rooms to rent just like us.
When Sean and I aren't looking for jobs or rooms to rent we get out and walk around. There are lots of trails (or "tracks" as they call them here) in and around Queenstown that we have explored. Another place we have enjoyed walking is the Queenstown Gardens. In this city it seems very popular to just hang out in a park or on the beach in the sunshine. I hope we can find some sort of employment here so that we can actually stay longer than just a week or two.
