Post by: deejay on Friday 30 October 2009, 04:50:01 pm
Whooo Hooooo - WPC - I won this:

http://compingclub.com/index.php?topic=131297.0

Off to Hong Kong (hopefully) - thanks hanky_panky for the post!

From my email:

Congratulations!

I am delighted to advise you that you are the winner of the the LifeStyle FOOD Channel’s “Win a Trip to Hong Kong” competition.

You have won a trip for 2 adults to Hong Kong including:

-          return economy class airfares from your nearest capital city to Hong Kong with Qantas Airways and return airport transfers to/from hotel (valued at $3000)

-          PLUS 4 nights’ twin share accommodation at the Novotel, Nathan Road, Kowloon (valued at $2000)  

I've been having withdrawal symptoms as I don't have much Internet access due to some house renovations, today I had my photo in the paper receiving $1000 in Wish Cards for Trolley Tracker, then I get blown away with a call from Lifestyle Food! What a week.

I've promised the family I'll stop being glued to the computer now, as my aim this year was to win a holiday. Just hope we can go as the block-out dates restrict travel time for me, but fingers crossed! Whooo Hoooo!!!

Thanks guys for all the good wishes  :D :D

And yes, I have been comping for years and this holiday is something I've been trying (relentlessly!!) to win.

I was in Hong Kong 24 years ago, so I don't think I'll recognise it.  Think I'll be into the champagne tonight.

Congrats on the win! Fantastic win at that!

I've just come back from Hong Kong and the same district your hotel is in... Wonderful place! Do yourself a favour if you can and head over to the W Hotel for dinner one night or even to their massage place (Bliss Spa) devine!

We didnt' stay at the W Hotel, we stayed at Langham Place... but still an awesome area.. if you need any tips just ask..

Enjoy!

I was in Hong Kong 24 years ago, so I don't think I'll recognise it.  Think I'll be into the champagne tonight.
Woo-hoo! Go girl!

I imagine the same in 2007 after 20+ years away, but I think you'll still recognise quite a lot, although the airport has changed! It's now on Lantau island and you might catch sight of the Big Buddha on the way in during day time. (Worth a day trip and continue on on the bus to Tai O stilted fishing village... about as unlike Kowloon as you can get!.. if you want to explore out of town.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tai_O
Also worth doing is the ride on the harbour in an authentic Chinese junk, the Duk Ling. Only on Thursdays and Saturdays and you have to book as soon as you get in to town to be certain of a ride. The office is on the HK Island side of the Star Ferry terminal. Sadly, used to be FREE but now HK$50 - still reasonable.

Enough now... turning TOO green! Have a great time!

Thanks for the good wishes everyone - I'm feeling excited as I've been arranging the dates with Qantas - whooo hooooo.

I didn't keep a copy of my entry but I remember that I called Hong Kong "Honkers Konkers" - and the girl who rang me said the entry stood out and had the whole office laughing! So it's more proof that our entries do get read with some comps.  :D
