Where in the World is This?
When you’re on the road and need to stay connected, Opera Mini is just the thing to have on your phone: Opera Mini saves you money and gets you on the Internet fast!
Adventurer and traveler Ian Wright (pictured above) knows this better than anyone else - he's always on the move, going from one city to the next, all around the world... Which makes him pretty tough to track down!
Think you can keep up with him?
This is our challenge for you, starting right now: Follow along with Ian Wright in his journeys right here from Choose Opera and see if you can guess which city he turns up in from one week to the next. If you guess the right city, you can enter a drawing to win a weekly Opera prize package consisting of a solar mobile charger, Opera t-shirt and Opera stickers!
Here's how it works: every week we'll show you a video and give you some clues about the city Ian is in. Then you have to select the right city from a short selection of possibilities, like a multiple-choice quiz. There are 10 cities in all, meaning 10 weeks in all, with a new quiz released every Thursday.
Now comes the twist. In the final step of the competition (which is not until the very last week!), you need to arrange the names of all 10 cities in the crossword puzzle as shown in the video. When you have all the names going across, they should spell out another word going down. (You will not be able to spell this word until you have the names of all 10 cities!) So at the very end of the competition, once you've seen all the videos for all 10 cities that Ian has traveled to, you will be able to arrange the 10 city names going across in the crossword puzzle, and you'll see the word that the city names spell going down. At the end of August, in the final week of the contest, you will have a chance to submit this word for a chance to win the big prize of a Galaxy Nexus.
Good luck, and happy travels!

Unfortunately, this remembers me about the Opera Mini flowchart contest from last year which ended-up mysteriously with NO winners announcement.
Anyway, the Opera travel/vacation flowchart I made then, still comes in handy now.
