¿Que haces en never never land?
Which of the following is a better translation,
- What do you do in never never land?
- What are you doing in never never land?
As in why are you in that horrible place!

Either one is a good translation and works, it simply depends on the context. The first one would be a general question: what do you usually do when you go there, and the second one is more like what are you doing right now in this very moment in Never Never Land.
So both are fine translations and it all depends on what you mean to say and the context of the sentence.

True - but in English the presnt continuous can be used to mean exactly the same as the simple present. - ian-hill, Feb 3, 2013
It could even be used to indicate the futture too ---- what are you doing tomorrow? - ian-hill, Feb 3, 2013
I agree with Pumkin Ian, although, you're rigt too, but Pumpkin is even more right! - annierats, Feb 3, 2013

I guess, "what do you do?" and "what are you doing?" - teasip, Feb 3, 2013
But didn't Pumpkin say "Que haces" can also mean "what are you doing"? - HackerKing, Feb 3, 2013

No es horible, es un típo de paraíso donde no nos enviejamos nunca. Puede que sea un poco aburrido.
