    I thought Petronas Towers would do me a massive favour. Growing up my best mate's dad was from Kuala Lumpur, I thought I had insider knowledge!

    LOL you'd think as a former Digital Content Specialist I would know how to clearly articulate a post, but no.

    Those four are the ones who aren't in.

    Ecto, EN, Osh and Choccy are all in.

    Yeah, guess they must be. You know when you come to knowledge in an obscure way though, you just assume no one else knows :p

    7 out of 10. I had a RTW ticket that was based out of KL so I stayed in the square outside the towers a few times. It took me longer than it should have to get that one!

    Haven't visited mount rushmore. Machu Picchu and Ayers Rock (Uluru, Tusk ya heathen!) are on the list alright. :)

    Do I get a bonus point for showing my working?

    Answer: 2,678 hours

    over 13,109KM

    which means they calculate the average walking speed at: 4.9kmph

    Pretty sure it would take me double that!

    Anyways, we have our Winner of the Inaugural WTF Championship...
