I'm hoping to get my Central Park quiz queued tomorrow and am thinking of a Movies quiz for J-Burg. Similarly though, I'm biding my time. :) Reply #21. Jan 04 18, 1:45 AM |

Wish I hadn't already written a quiz on the history of Jo-burg. Reply #22. Jan 04 18, 3:45 PM |

Surely there are other J-Burg topics out there. :) Reply #23. Jan 04 18, 10:39 PM |

The whole Witwatersrand Gold Rush (which was what led to the establishment of Jo-burg) could make an interesting quiz. I focused on a famous sporting venue. There are several others with international reputations and interesting histories. There are a number of parks that could be visited on a family day out (with pictures). Soweto, now a part of the city, was the site of a significant anti-apartheid uprising, so could be the trigger for a quiz on apartheid. Or maybe one of the suburbs visited in a consideration of the demographics of the different parts of the city. What about men with the name Johannes, who have been suggested as being the source of the city's name - there are four mentioned in the Wikipedia article, so a couple of questions on each would make a quiz. It was involved in the Boer War fighting. There are a bunch of Africa's tallest buildings to visit. There are also, of course, a bunch of museums. A number of reasonably people were born there. It might be interesting to compare and contrast Jo-burg with ten of its twin cities. Whew, I'm exhausted just contemplating all the quizzes I could write. Better go work on my Commission quiz. :) Reply #24. Jan 05 18, 12:01 AM |

Alright! Queued up my Central Park quiz! I was originally going to write about buildings surrounding the perimeter of the park, but I figured this was a bit more interesting. I'm off to Joburg. :) Reply #25. Jan 05 18, 9:40 AM |

I have an idea about Joburg, but wanted to give someone else a chance! Will start writing and see what happens! Reply #26. Jan 05 18, 1:47 PM |

If ,in the future, we decide to write a quiz for any of the places visited previously will it go on the list? Reply #27. Jan 06 18, 3:44 AM |

Yup, but it won't contribute to our progression around the globe (ie. we won't move to new destinations faster). Reply #28. Jan 06 18, 6:31 AM |

For anyone curious about the globetrotting, there is a set amount of destinations on this circumnavigation (that is posted for the editors for posterity). Pending the success of this, we could do further trips this year with the goal of seeing how many times we can make the circuit by the end of 2018. :) Reply #29. Jan 06 18, 8:21 AM |

Since I go back to work tomorrow and won't have time to polish up my Jo-burg quiz, I will do so today and submit it - there doesn't seem to be a rush of people desperately trying to be one of the first two. Maybe other authors will be more excited by some of our future destinations. Reply #30. Jan 06 18, 6:00 PM |

And now our itinerary is taking us to the nation of Zambia! Hop on a charter flight; it's time to go on safari! Or perhaps, your trip is going to lead you to Victoria Falls and the Zambesi River. Either way, it's time to dig deeper into this African nation. Reply #33. Jan 07 18, 1:27 PM |

I'm hoping to get my Joburg quiz done today so I don't fall behind too much. Very excited for the next stop when we finish our tour of Zambia! Reply #39. Jan 08 18, 6:50 AM |

You're keeping me on my toes! Looks like we're already moving onwards, and it means a lengthy flight north-ish to the City of Lights. That's right-- we're going to the city of Paris, France! There are too many possibilities for topics about this City of Love and Romance and its sights, sounds, and people. Everything from its history to its future; it's all fair game. Reply #40.
