Before I announce the winner, I just want to thank everyone who joined and played along with this crazy contest. I know the questions can be pretty tough (specially the busker’s song), but I designed this contest to reward Just Wandering readers, not rabid contest joiners. If you’ve been reading the useless crap I’ve been dishing out in this blog, the answers would’ve come to you easily. <\/p>\n

I’m sure you’re wondering about the answers, so here they are:<\/p>\n

1) What is traditionally served for lunch among the Portuguese?<\/strong>
\nAnswer: Cozido a Portuguesa

\nWe headed to the Macau Military Club for lunch. What was waiting for us was the traditional Portuguese Sunday fare: Cozido a Portuguesa.<\/strong> It\u2019s basically a meal that combines different kinds of sausages and meats, chicken, pork and beef. It was a buffet so you can pick your choice of meat. It was our first encounter with Portuguese-style sausages. I couldn\u2019t remember the names of the two other sausages served, but I took quite a liking to the Portuguese blood sausage. The cozido is quite a heavy meal. Traditionally, it is followed by a siesta. Thankfully, our itinerary allowed us to have a siesta \u2014 we had free time after lunch.<\/em>

\n2) In which book can you find this paragraph:
\n\u201cTourists, of course, are always other people; never us. We are different. We are travellers \u2013 intelligent, well-mannered and cultured, a blessing on our chosen destinations, a delight to have around. It\u2019s a common attitude, and one that I have always found condescending and offensive, as well as inaccurate. If you travel away from home for pleasure, you\u2019re a tourist, no matter how you like to dress it up.\u201d<\/strong>

3) Who was my guide at Angkor Wat?<\/strong>
\nAnswer: Kim Soryar
\nSource: Day 3: Angkor Heritage Park, Siem Reap, Cambodia<\/a>
\nKim Soryar came highly recommended online.<\/strong> He was mentioned in the notes my sister-in-law\u2019s officemate\u2019s Cambodia trip research document. I googled his name, and found several forums that has members raving about his services. So I took a chance and e-mailed him, inquiring about his rates and itinerary. It turns out he\u2019s available for the dates I needed a guide,<\/strong>and that his rates (and the tuktuk and driver\u2019s) is within my budget, so I went ahead and booked for today.<\/em><\/p>\n

4) What song is this busker singing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Answer: Proud Mary
\nSource: The video of the busker singing can be found within the post “Hong Kong, the second time around<\/a>.” He’s hard to understand due to the accent (when I first heard him singing, I didn’t even think he was singing in English). If you’re a Glee fan, you’d probably have guessed it upon hearing the chorus. But if you’re not, one way to find out is to Google “lyrics “rolling on the river”” Unfortunately, there’s a bit of a mix-up as some websites list that the song’s title is Rolling on the River \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
