Weird tourism sight of the week: An Asian tourist strolling through Queenstown, on a glorious Central Otago day, wearing one of those face masks designed to spare your lungs from a bird-flu pandemic in a major city.
I was tempted to ask: How much further from pollution do you really need to be?
Perhaps it was about the familiarity of home. Like a Kiwi traveller wandering the streets of Athens looking for a bar that will show the rugby.
Second weirdest tourism sight of the week: Still in Queenstown, a tourist steps out onto the road in a roundabout right in front of a giant bus so he can take a photo of the stunning scenery.
The driver stopped, waited for him to get his shot and walk off, then drove on.
