Queenstown, not exactly a bed of roses

So end of the first full day in Queenstown and all is not really well. The first time i was here i thought i was not too fond of the place cuz i had just arrived and was not really used to the place. Now, after nearly 2 months in the country i still get the same feeling. I liked Dunedin, it was a city and really just got on with it, there was expensive places, cheap places and lots of different places to go and things to do. Queenstown is different, i do not get the whole friendly vibe here half as much. There is no such thing as cheap here, everything is based on extracting as much money out of tourists as possible and if there is one thing i hate its the feeling that someone is goughing me straight to my face. There is not as much kiwi hospitatility because everybody is like me, foreign and just here for a short time. Dunedin was a student town but this place is just full of gangs of young sports bums hanging around. I know it is a bit of a black pot/kettle situation but i dont consider myself like them. I came here for the snow and stuff, not the constant drinking and crazy nite-life. I think i am just kind of missing the set-up i had in Dunedin, in the hostel at the minute they have their own drink so you cant bring cheap stuff from supermarkets, you have to buy it from them.

As for the whole job and accomodation thing i am not sure how that will work out either. I am in the hostel for two weeks but at the ewnd of that time a friend is coming over ot visit me for two weeks so i cannot really get a job if it means that i will be working the entire time she is here. Accomodation is something else that i dont know about. The average price at the minute for a cheap old apartment is between 140-200 dollars a week. At that price it would be cheaper to stay in the hostel. Not that i have seen any apartments to rent however, every notice board around is covered by notices from people asking for rooms rather than people offering them, they are golddust at the minute. That and lots of them are unfurnished or looking for 6 month minimum contracts.

Mah, i think i might just be making mountains out of mole-hills but i am just not i the best of moods at the minute. Back to not really knowing anybody again and having nothing to do with my days, god bless the regular get-up, dress beds, go on internet, go to gym, have lunch, hang around in cafe, have dinner, hang around in cafe, drink beers and watch DVDs time in Dunedin. Just cant get my priorities right at the moment and not sure what i should be doing. Hopefully things will be better on the morrow.
