Sean and I have today and tomorrow off together which means we get to celebrate Valentine's Day. Our plans include: a cheap bottle of wine, a can of olives, chocolate cupcakes from a box and a free documentary from the library (Shackleton's voyage to Antarctica). It's going to be a big night, obviously.
Since it rained all day, we spent time running errands and hung out in a coffee shop for awhile. At the coffee shop we got our highlighters out like big nerds and went through the Lakes Weekly Bulletin. The LWB is THE source for what's going on in Queenstown. It's full of classifieds, job ads, free stuff, promotions/coupons at local bars and restaurants and lots of pictures of random people around town. It comes out every week on Tuesday and people are so quick to get it that a lot of the good stuff is gone by the time we read it. This week we found interesting ads for: a bike for me, an electric blanket, a DVD player, half-used gym memberships and people who want to learn Spanish and English. We'll see if anything comes of any of it.
I also took some pictures of our room and bathroom - very exciting stuff. Notice the clothes rack in the bathroom - nobody uses a dryer here. All the stuff in the room we either got from the LWB, garage sales, from the previous tenant or from this big cheap warehouse store named appropriately, The Warehouse. Home sweet home.
