Let’s just put it out there: Being stuck on this side of the noodle-curtain while the biggest sports event in the world is about to start in your country SUCKS!

Therefore if somebody is running a competition that promises 2010 tickets, flights AND accommodation, here at Howzit-HongKong.com we are bound to notice. 

And enter.

Problem with this Hyundai competition: we’re rather stumped as to just what we’re willing to part with in return for said prize.  Unlike the folks in the video below, we don’t own a bike we really love, we don’t have roommates we want to get rid of (do the Missus and kids count?) neither do we want to spoil anybody’s life by passing on our ex-girlfriends.  Nonetheless, tonight we’re going to don our creative hats and enter this great competition.

What would YOU be willing to trade to attend the 2010 World Cup in South Africa? 

Visit Hyundai on FaceBook and tell them.  Who knows, maybe you’ll win and take your best friend on the trip-of-a-lifetime! Nudge, Nudge,Wink, Wink!

Hyundai is an Official Partner of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The South China Morning Post (SCMP) has one last chance for readers to score a couple of Cathay Pacific/Credit Suisse Hong Kong Sevens tickets:

The South African community in Beijing are organising a Potjiekos Competition! How cool is that?!  Why don’t we Saffas here in Hong Kong have events like this?  Other than the yearly Sevens Dinner and hike/spitbraai, we have precious few community activities that can help to bring the community together.  Having said that, let me put on my parent-of-2-kids-hat and add: precious few activities geared towards South Africans with families in Hong Kong.
