We're actually one of the contestants for this comp: http://tiny.cc/vote4us Although the competition does have some drawbacks, we do applaud the Tawainese Tourism Bureau for organising this competition as it has generated some interest and media publicity. As an improvement point, we think it would've been better if it was cut down to 25 teams so the budget can be increased. We're currently researching on our itinerary and it's definitely a challenge! We're just a team of two people and don't know how the teams with more than three people are going to manage to stick to the budget. profile: http://tiny.cc/vote4us For every view on our video: http://tiny.cc/watchvideo we will be donating NT$1 to World Vision Taiwan.

But the one rule that I hate was that the round trip ticket is not included. you will have to pay that yourself. registering for a personal blog is the easy part part.
