A Longchamp Le Pliage Tote Might be Yours Courtesy of FP

Image courtesy of www.longchamp.com

The 1st city is the financial capital of this country.

The 2nd city is the capital of this country.

The 3rd city is the capital of this country.

The 4th city is the capital of this country.

The 5th and last city is the capital of this country.

I usually spend the Holy Week in Europe with my best friend, B.C. almost every year. I am sad though that this year he will not be coming along because he is going to the U.S.A. in May to watch a concert.

On Monday, some family members and I will be flying to Europe for a ten day vacation. In line with this trip, I am giving away a Longchamp Le Pliage Nylon Tote to one lucky reader who can identify the five cities that we will be vising on this trip.

Email the five cities in chronological order to micsylim@gmail.com with your name on or before April 22, 2011, 11:59 pm, Manila time and get a chance to win this prize. Each email address is only allowed one entry so in case you submitted several entries using one email address, I will automatically honor the most recent email. This also gives you a chance to supercede your previous answers. The winner's name will be picked from a bowl containing the names of the readers who got the five cities correctly. I also suggest that you follow micsylim on twitter to get additional clues.

Fashion PULIS has surpassed its 500,000 pageviews very and this is my way of expressing my appreciation to all of you. Even my closest friends B.C. and S.M. do not know where exactly we are going so this contest is open to everyone. I suggest you try your luck and participate because I might just end up giving away more than one Longchamp tote depending if I am feeling generous when I do my shopping in Europe. Also, let me clarify that the design and color of the Longchamp tote that will be given away might not be identical to the one shown in the photo above. It all depends on what is available in the Longchamp store. I will be waiting for all your entires and rest assured that this will be a very fair game. By the way, feel free to also post your guesses in the comment section so that you can get the inputs of the other readers. Happy guessing!

    Hi Mr. Michael Lim! This is a good game :) Sent my entry/answers. Goodluck to us! The most difficult is the 4th map..but thanks to the previous comments and hints.

    Have a safe trip.

    God bless.

    FP, just a comment, i think you should have set an earlier deadline.
    While the rest of us researched thoroughly to get the answers, the ones who submitted late got your first two cities already just by waiting for you to post photos and entries from where you are.

    Just my two cents, i find it unfair. :(

    Dear Anonymous,
    I thought of it as a way to invite readers to view the travel posts. Don't worry, city no. 4 is the hardest and photos for this city will not make it within the deadline. That was also part of the plan. Good luck to all of you who sent your raffle.

    I just need more time because I received so many entries. I have to do them manually. FP has no assistant. =) Thank you for understanding.
