The adventure continues!
With Globetrot Trivia, we visit fifteen destinations all around the world. Sometimes we learn about those locations, but sometimes they inspire something more.
For this challenge, a destination is posted here on this thread. Sometimes that destination will be very specific and sometimes it will be very vague, but either way, we’ll need to have two quizzes queued up before we move on to the next location.
So if we use an example: ‘Central Park, NYC'. This means we need to queue two quizzes— anyone can submit them— before we continue on. The quizzes can be about the park...or parks around the world...or Manhattan...or Central Perk from 'Friends'. As long as you can justifiably link the quiz to the locations, it’s good!
Once we make our trip around the world, we’ll return to our starting location in some way. Last time, we started in Central Park and ended the route in New York City.
All you need to do is post when your quiz is submitted, and when there’s two we’ll move along. The quiz doesn't even need to be online yet! Think of it as a teaser for the players. ;)
Let's see the world again!

My Hong Kong quiz is in the queue still but I finished my Namibia quiz. Can I submit it or I am only allowed one at a time for this particular challenge? Reply #102. Apr 04 18, 9:13 AM |

I'd still assume, based on the amount of time it took us to go through Hong Kong, that we won't be finishing in a week and a half unless a few people really pull out the stops. Reply #106. Apr 04 18, 12:09 PM |

Our next stop brings us to Cape Town, South Africa. While this may be a revisited country from our first GlobeTrot tour, Cape Town is a much different place from Johannesburg. A beautiful city on the southwest coast of the African continent, Cape Town is home to Table Mountain, Robben Island, Cape Point and Clifton Beach. Besides the famous people who've made their home in Cape Town, it's also known for being a trading post, a harbour, and a multicultural haven. For those reading up in the news the past year, you may also be aware of the Cape Town drought and water situation. It may be a good idea to hone in on that as well. ;) Reply #107.

My Hong Kong quiz is sitting in VG. Heading to Chiang Mai and, probably, the General category. Reply #108. Apr 04 18, 1:25 PM |

Well...The destination that put us in a deadlock for the maximum time has suddenly become the most written-for destination! Unless I write about Australia xD...And my Hong Kong quiz is still sitting in Entertainment... Have anybody else experienced that the urge to write a quiz is more when your queue is empty? And you feel lathergic when your queue is full? Reply #109. Apr 04 18, 1:47 PM |

Correction: Sydney will become the most popular destination. Player 1nn1 has picked up 'Going to Australia'. I wonder if he wanted to add to Australia's tally... "I can't let Australia lose to Hong Kong!" Reply #110. Apr 04 18, 1:48 PM |

Re: "Unless I write about Australia xD" Aren't you already up to twenty-quizzes-in-waiting? That's more than you've written in the past year. :s Reply #111. Apr 04 18, 3:14 PM |

I will edit your quiz in the Entertainment queue when I have time to devote to it and the ones waiting in the queue before yours. I've already noted your mentions of it and this and your earlier post today; I can't get to it quicker. Reply #113. Apr 04 18, 3:21 PM |

I'm not sure what my plans are for Namibia, but I'm expecting to get it done after Thailand. I know exactly what I'm doing for Cape Town though; should be a sequel to a previous quiz, and one I've had in the works for a while. Reply #118. Apr 05 18, 3:35 PM |
