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!

Actually, I am on vacation. Net connection is there, but very slow. I only have my phone, no laptop. So, lots of tasks coming up I guess.. Reply #21. Mar 18 18, 1:40 AM |

The Evolution of the Sydney Opera House (#392044) has been submitted for editorial review. Reply #22. Mar 18 18, 3:54 AM |

Vast. Arid. Full of dangerous things. There are a lot of different images evoked by our next destination: The Australian Outback. As we leave Sydney, we could easily take a ride into the great beyond, Down Under and stop off at one of may unique locations in the Outback from Uluru to the mining towns to the mountains. It may seem foreboding, but it's got a rich wealth of interesting factoids all its own. Just bring the sunscreen. Reply #23. Mar 18 18, 3:21 PM |

Let's head northwest. Once we get out of the Outback, we're going somewhere completely different; somewhere a bit more packed. The next stop on our trip is Hong Kong. Part of the Pearl River Delta, Hong Kong is one of the largest financial districts in the world and boasts the largest amount of skyscrapers in its core area. Despite this, Hong Kong is also rich in natural beauty, is home to a well-steeped history, and provides a great spot to investigate the clash between Eastern and Western culture and the arts.

Part of me is wondering if I should hold onto all of the submissions for this one and release them in order as an unbroken block at the end or if I should just queue them up willy-nilly. About halfway through my Sydney submission. Reply #28. Mar 20 18, 1:10 AM |

I'm lagging, both because I am very busy at work right now and because I decided my Commission quiz should come next. But I am noting them all (and have ideas), and plan to get there eventually. Reply #29. Mar 20 18, 3:06 AM |

Which destination is that for Lady_Nym? Reply #32. Mar 22 18, 9:21 AM |

My (educated) guess would be that divas are for the Opera House. Reply #33. Mar 22 18, 10:36 AM |

Yes, the "divas" in the title refers to opera heroines :D! Reply #34. Mar 22 18, 11:42 AM |

I apologize for being late to join, but the demands of daily life have kept me busy the last couple of weeks. I have submitted "Who's Who: Famous Sy(i)dneys"! On to the Outback! Reply #37. Mar 25 18, 12:32 PM |

The main difference between GlobeTrotter 1 and GlobeTrotter 2 for me is that GlobeTrotter 2 is covering places I personally have very less knowledge in. I guess I should scrap the plan of 15 categories for GlobeTrotter 2. Reply #38. Mar 25 18, 12:52 PM |

Just to note, we'll be visiting at least one country we've already visited in GT1 in GT2. Reply #39. Mar 25 18, 9:30 PM |
