Title: My daughter won a trip to TOKYO!!
Post by: JBMarigold on Friday 16 July 2010, 05:04:01 pm
FINALLY, DD has caught the comping bug and in her FIRST MONTH of entering off her own bat has picked up a mobile phone and now

a trip to Tokyo!!!  (with another phone!)

It's this competition...
http://sushiplane.com.au/#/landing
that was listed here: http://compingclub.com/index.php?topic=155243.0 (Great work, bindieye!)

BUT she entered a separate competition as a Telstra employee via their internal site, not this public one - 2 Telstra 'reporters' are going too and she's one!!!

This is what she gets...
A Tokyo adventure, valued at $6,601 (including GST), consisting of:
(a) return economy airfares for each winner from the winner‟s nearest capital city to Sydney on 9 August 2010 (unless the winner‟s nearest capital city is Sydney, in which case this component of the prize is forfeited), then on to Tokyo, departing on 10 August 2010 and returning on 16 August 2010 valued up to $2,900.00 per person.
(b) one night shared room accommodation at Novotel Darling Harbour in Sydney on 9 August 2010 and then four nights shared room accommodation in Tokyo between the 11-14 August 2010, valued up to $740.00;
(c) transfers to and from Sydney and Narita to the airport, valued at up to $400.00;
(d) some meals, drinks in Sydney and Tokyo for the duration of the prize, valued at $1,782.00; and
(e) an HTC Desire Handset, valued at $779.00.

So excited! (And secretly just a bit green that she's surpassed her mother so soon! And wondering whether I can go along...)

Congratulations to her, Hope you get to go..... you're lucky she's caught the bug, I've been trying to get mine on to comping too but both very half-hearted about it.  I'm taking them both on the trip to Sydney I won so maybe once they see the benefits up close they'll change their minds.

Congrats to your daughter. Japan is a place whose culture, customs and ethos are completely different to our own. If she goes on the bullet train, tell her to look out for the conductor as he bows to the carriage as he arrives and departs  :shock: If she's one that loves her meat, tell her to eat up big before she goes, as meat comes in small portions and is very expensive   :shock:
I'd go back in a heartbeat, any room in her suitcase  :lol:

Thanks all, on her behalf. Such a kind bunch in here.
She's a picky vegetarian so meat's not the issue... more like can she survive on just rice for a week?!!
Not sure that she has time for the bullet train either... it sounds something like "The Amazing Race"/Big Brother Friday night games for the contestants and she's won a filming/reporting/Facebooking role. Finally FB pays off! (Hoping SHE'S not in with the electric eels, etc!)  :shock:

I'll post anything pics that go online when she gets back if possible!
