BINSUS AMAZING RACE PHOTO HUNT 2011

Hello everyone! Have a blasting holiday !
Today i am so excited updating my blog, because today i was joining BINSUS AMAZING RACE PHOTO HUNT 2011
it's kinda similar with Amazing Race TV Show that airing in AXN, but with a smaller map. the clues spreaded all around my hometown, Manado, North Sulawesi. It's a race and photo hunt that held by the graduated student (alumni) of my Highschool, SMA BINSUS SULUT. 5 team join and race against each other to be the first, and it's so tiring, but super fun!
ok, my team for this race was actually a random team because we're merged from 2 different team.
and here we are


we use B_06_o! as our team name, means Binsus 2006 Go ! hahaha

the race started 10 am at Lapangan Basket Megamas. The weather is kinda nice and good, until it came to 12 pm and we got a sunburn. hahaha



the first clue is "welcome to manado!' with a photo of KFC signage.


it's quite easy, the answer is SAM RATULANGI AIRPORT! there's a KFC reataurant with that kind of signage, in SAM RATULANGI AIRPORT. in front of the KFC, there's a large signage board that said ' WELCOME TO MANADO'. haha me and krisna always pass this place everytime we back to manado from jakarta. beside that, jos and ichad know this airport very well because they live near from this airport, so we finished this clue easily.we took a public transport to get there.





but the problem is, when we arrived, the KFC is missing! then we found a fact that the KFC was being moved to the 2nd floor. we ran and found the committee! haha they said sorry for the mistake. nevermind! :D
and surprisingly, we were the first team that arrived in the 1st stop! yaaaayy



we met another team when we left the airport, and they were going to find the KFC. even we're in the 1st line at that time, but we must be hurry or they will left us behind. luckily, we found an empty public transport called mikro or angkot, right in front of the airport. we need to catch the next stop very soon, and it helped much. Jos also very good in identifying the photo of the clue and find the best and fastest route so we're so thankful to had him in our team.
the next clue we got was..



' INDEPENDENCE DAY ' . of course it is ' 17 Agustus '. it's the independence day of indonesia and name of a street in manado also. The photo show a TransKawanua shelter. We know it placed in front of the Governor Office in 17 Agustus street! yeey we were going to catch this place and solve the next clue :D
when we arrived, the committee told us to remember the 'Sumpah Pemuda' script. it's easy, right? but it's not easy when they told us to take turns, one person have to mention one words in chronological order. seemed so easy, but it wasn't as easy as we thought. haha we just looked stupid there. here is the picture showing our effort




picture above : the answer of 1st stop's 2nd and 3rd challengge

we were in a good mood and burning spirit (yay!) then we took a public transportation to the next stop. how we found the next stop? with the help from the 3rd clue of course!


where was this photo being taken? yes it's Bethesda Church. it's near my house, and actually quite near from our high school. here the committee successfully made us tired (for the first time). They asked us to figured out how many floor that GKN have. GKN is 'Gedung Keuangan Negara' that built next to Bethesda Church. It's easy, beacuse we just only have to ask to security about this thing. but when we are going to told the committee about the answer, they asked us to searching for the function of each floor. luckily, it's written on the lobby's wall.and once again when we are going to told the committee about the answer,they asked us to remembering the function of each floor, with their abbreviation. it's hard, but also fun! hahahaha



we have to catch the next stop, the 4th stop. and for us, it's the easisest clue ever!

actually, it's Gelanggang Remaja KONI, an open-space sport centre, usually used by students around Manado. there's a sport hall, swimming pool, running track, soccer field, function hall, and scouting secretariat. We always been in this place for at least once a week when we were in high school, for sport subject. And the photo shown the running track that we used to use every week when we were in high school. that's why it's easy for us.



the picture above shows the moment when we were trying to answer the question from the committee. Not only one question, they also gave us another clue and we had to find the answer. they told us that the answer is located near us, and we have to find it. 11091976 what's that? if you are curious, it means you have to be here for BINSUS Amazing Race 2012 next year!
