New Zealand: Queenstown - The Town

Ok Queestown!

The most busy town in south island (my ranking).

So I dislike Queenstown.

Well have a night stayed in Queenstown because the nearest immigration department is here and Aston need to got her visa fix.

Alright for those who're ready to go for working holiday in New Zealand, bare in mind when you are entering to New Zealand, REMEMBER show your working holiday visa to the custom officer. Don't assume they've your record and not showing them your visa, or else, they will give you a wrong visa stamp, like Aston got.

Luckily the other day i took out my passport and Aston accidentally saw the stamp of mine is different with hers. Then we called to immigration and check out what visa Aston is holding, finally the custom of NZ gave her a visitor visa which can only granted her 3 months stay and she couldn't get a job with a visitor visa either.

Aston said she didn't show her visa document to the officer because no one bother to ask the purpose of coming to NZ. And Aston assumed her name should be in the record of immigration, just like ETA in Australia, that you don't need to show anything because once they scan your passport they knew you're holding what kind of visa.

This is a BIG WRONG! Just bare in mind show all the document you have when you're entering to NZ, and make sure the stamp for working holiday visa is square in shape with the date you're entering and the date of expired. For visitor visa, there have no date nothing.

The officer told Aston to go to the nearest immigration department before xmas holiday to change her visa, so we decided to stop in Queenstown for a night just to fix her visa problem.

Frankly nothing interested me as long as it is a big and crowed city, but yea this city is small yet handy, you can get almost everything in this city. Shopping, food, drink, club, office, bank, everything in EXPENSIVE PRICE! Especially petrol, heck i got $1.97 per litre in other town yet i paid $2.50 per litre in Queenstown!

So pump a full tank in Invercargill before you heading to Queenstown or Lake Tekapo, so freaking expensive petrol after invercargill and Christchurch toward the middle part of south.


On the way to Queenstown



Quite a nice lake though


I heard some friend told me that's a super big burger in the town. I don't go for shopping (ok i did, i got all the souvenir sekaligus-ness in Queenstown and i delivered them back to Malaysia there. I spent like $200 there. WTF.), so i spent my money in makan.

Ferg Burger the name. In the city centre and always crowed.

There is one in Christchurch though, somewhere near the cable car but i never been there, Aston been there and she said the one in Christchurch is nicer and bigger.

Oh i love the slogan : In Ferg we trust.

WTF. Hahahahaha.


Lotsa people ALL THE TIME!



Not a big shop but nice deco.



The menu, self service like Mc. Donald.



I love the Ferg with middle finger lo! For sell in the shop but darn expensive. Every employee wore this t-shirt in the shop.



I spotted a good looking man, and Aston turned to excited.



So she went close to the bar and captured his photo! Walaueeee...

Big burgers indeed.



Its bigger than Aston's face.



And bigger than Julien's boob. LOL.

Not i don't want to post the photo of me and the freaking big burger, just I CANNOT FIND IT! I don't know with whom camera lo. Ju if you have my photo send to me please. :D

I regret i saw the Big Al burger after made the order, that's best selling burger in the shop, and that burger is even bigger! Of course la, more expensive too la, its like $16.50, but trust me, 2 ladies cannot finish lo.

We order Bombay Chicken and FergBurger with cheese, 3 of us full like hell and cant finish the fried. Frankly not extremely delicious but this is famous though. I love Bombay Chicken more although i ordered the FergBurger lo. :D

So after lunch? or hmmm dinner? We went for walk in the lake side, saw a super big and curve rainbow and hell it so beautiful.


This is not the water of some pool, this is the real lake




Nice weather =)



I love this photo in Queenstown the most.



If you have sharp eye you will see the rainbow. If you don't have just kiss your ass :D.


But for your information, chance of seeing a rainbow is as much as the sesame on a bun lo (ok i hungry liao). Sometime i saw 3 times per day and no kidding wei!

Sign.. i miss the heaven liao.. =(
