Trivia Tuesday

To celebrate the Southern Hemisphere spring, today’s Trivia Tuesday comes with open-toed footwear. That’s right kids – if you are one of the first ten people to answer these five questions correctly, you will win a pair of Dupe thongs – huzzah!

What are Dupes? They are the super soft Brazilian sister brand to Havaianas. They are really comfy and they come in lots of nice colours.

So without any further adieu:

1. Where were thongs (otherwise known as flip-flops or jandals) invented?

2. If you were at the Sakura Matsuri Festival, what would you be celebrating?

3. What is the current estimated population of the world?

4. Is Kokomo a real place? If so, where is it?

5. What does the Hebrew word ‘shalom’ mean?

Travel stories with a twist

By Maggie Videan

Corban & Blair purveyors of fine stationery products have launched a brand new set of Travel Stories ‘conversation starters’. These nifty little sets of cards get people talking about their trips away.

We liked the idea so much we snaffled a set to giveaway – that’s how much we love you!

All you do is gather a few friends together, grab a pack of Travel Stories (available from David Jones for RRP $25) and off you go, with or without your passport.

Each card has one question and the pack spans everything from quirks you may have when you travel, to budgeting tips, to favourite destinations. Bring out the pack after a few red wines the tall tales get even taller.

In order to win a pack of these fun cards, all you need to do is answer this randomly selected question from the deck: ‘What is the first thing you do when you get home from a big trip?’

Weirdest answer wins!

Win tickets to the Bondi Bergstation at the Bondi Winter Magic Festival

Want to go ice skating at Bondi Beach? Umm, sure, and then we’ll fly to the moon on the back of a big, sparkly unicorn and the stars will turn into Torville & Dean and the whole cast of Glee will sing ‘Like a Prayer’. Wha-hey!

Sounds a bit ‘kooky dream sequence’ but the first part, at least, is possible.

After a sell-out season in Sydney last year, The Winter Festival organisers have wizarded up the ‘Bondi Bergstation’ at Bondi Beach from July 16th – 25th, 2010.

You: WTF is a ‘Bergstation’?

Me: The German word ‘Bergstation’ refers to the highest spot reachable by snow transports (ski lifts, cable car etc) in alpine ski resorts in Austria, Switzerland and Germany.

Mountain terminology aside, there will be a 600m2 outdoor ice rink overlooking the ocean. This will sit inside an authentic European style ski village complete with its own original Alpine Ski Hut.

Tickets for the Ice Rink are $17 + $5 skate hire for adults and $12 + $5 skate hire for children.

But you know what? The delightful people at Bondi Bergstation are giving you the chance to win 3 x double passes to the ice skating rink simply by telling us what your favourite Winter activity is. All you need to do is comment at the bottom of this post and they will choose the winner based on a highly scientific process. Mush, mush …
