pretty interesting contest.
too bad i’m not a citizen of any of those countries. =(
i wanna go!!!! too bad i live in the us! :’(
Interesting,…..so it’s not open to Mainland China contestants???
Nope, not to mainland Chinese people… if not mistaken the citizens from those six eligible countries/places don’t need a visa to enter the country; it’s probably one of the major reasons mainland Chinese are not included this time.
If this contest received well response from the public… they might have other similar contests in future which open to a broader mass.
Hi Yein Jee, I just hope next time you’ll be able to cater all citizen in asian countries. I really wanted to join but not just lucky to be a citizen in that six eligible countries. Hope you’ll also feature some articles about Filipinos such as our culture, food and best tourist spots. And you’ll find out that we have a very interesting culture. I always visit your website and I really enjoy reading all the articles. Keep up the good work!!!
esz… it’s not me who run the contest, I can’t do much about that.
The major challenge with Filipino news is that I can’t read the language; will try a bit harder to dig some info about the country.
Glad you like the site, thanks for the note.
