Don't…read moreget me wrong, there's a fine line between a souvenir shop and a tourist trap, but Global Culture stands far above the other nearby touristy-junk shops in their quality and design. It's the NZ-themed sweatshirts that pulled me in, but I walked out with three pillowcases, a tea towel and an apron. If you're looking for a gift to bring home, skip the stereotypical Starbucks mug and head here. You'll pay a bit more, but you'll get some beautifully NZ-designed, high quality items. Just know that it'll be tough not to grab one for yourself while you're at it!

I had checked their Instagram out and loved the styles! When we arrived, the staff member had stepped out so we had to return ~20 minutes later to be let in. Upon entering, the shop was much smaller than I'd expected. The shop items were very cute, with cool designs and great options. I just wish there was more! There were probably 5-6 womens styles of shirts and hoodies, 6-8 mens styles, and a few hats. I would have loved to see more variety in colors and design: some I loved the design and not the color, and vice versa. They do offer one small changing room with a curtain, but with many people in a small space, a line starts to form fast. I ended up trying a hoodie on just in the store and guessed on the shirt. I ended up getting a soft t-shirt and SUPER soft hoodie for myself and a corduroy bucket hat for my brother. I had a bit of sticker shock at the register: these prices are not cheap! I had gotten accustomed to the NZ dollar pricing, but these were especially high. I will say, they are not skimping on the quality of materials! Service was a bit short and not as friendly as we'd found throughout NZ - they seemed a little annoyed by customer questions. But overall, a great spot for souvenirs you won't find at other shops! PS - there's a ROAM shop in Te Anau that is much bigger and great variety / changing rooms / customer service!

While I normally steer clear of "souvenir shops" as the merchandise is usually just junk, this one was different as they carried a wide range of jade and paua ( the pearlized shells) made into costime jewelery that was of the same caliber as other shops in town, but with a more reasonable price. Service was spot on, too, as the woman helping me went out of her way to find me just the piece I was looking for. She also was helpful to convert my US ring size to the sizing they use here. It may not be for everyone, but I was able to get a couple of things at a reasonable price to take back home with me. And that was exactly what I was looking for!

In A Nutshell:…read more -Queenstown, wow such a hidden gem. -If you've ever been to Lake Tahoe, Yosemite & Colorado Springs, imagine all those places merged into one. -Queenstown has the blue lakes, crystal clear rivers, sky-high/snow capped mountains & wineries. -If you are the millenial-outdoor-hippie-wanna-be-type then this place should be on your bucket list. -Tons of outdoor sports galore, this is your ultimate playground. -There's even a casino in town. Overall, I would visit this place again once later in life, but I recommend that you visit soon if you haven't been to Southland, NZ.

If I were to choose any place to live in New Zealand...it'd be Queenstown, but I'm only really familiar with Auckland, Te Anau, Rotoura, and Queenstown. The lake view is almost visible from anywhere in Queenstown. The mountains are amazing, the food is amazing, and you're living with some of the nicest people on the planet. The adventure capitol of the world has everything from hikes, outlooks, bungee jumping, river speed boating, to mountain biking. Spend some quality time here and enjoy this wonderful city. You definitely won't regret it!

While I do not support Lululemon's attitudes toward full figured folks, it is hard to deny that their clothing is well made and functional. When I went to this store yesterday, both J and I bought clothing because their sale section was so large!!! It was awesome. I've never seen one of the American locations with even 1/4 of the amount of sale/clearance merchandise. They also had a teapot for free samples of their blood orange tea. The pot was almost empty, but boy were those last few cold drops tasty! And if you're American, the prices are in NZD roughly what they would be in USD. A top that is $99 USD in the United States would still be $99 NZD here. That means that you get an additional discount if you're American because the current exchange rate values NZD lower than USD.
