Here's a little of local Queenstown, New Zealand life for you. This area has become Extremely Popular for Chinese tourists. I don't know the exact number, but it's in the hundreds of thousands, which is significant for a country of about four million people. Another thing I happen to notice a lot, perhaps because I'm a photographer, is a gaggle of Chinese wedding photographers with their couples. I don't know if you've been to a Chinese wedding reception, but they often run a slideshow of the lucky couple in love in exotic locations. It's all completely ridiculous, of course, but they've all bought into this silly fiction. Anyway, to scaffold that fiction, they are all over Queenstown and Arrowtown taking these sorts of photos. You can tell he's a real "artsy" photographer because he's wearing a hoodie.
