The Nokia Wireless Adventure in Asia-Pacific will occur simultaneously in six markets with India coming in a bit later. Each market will have its own module to have the public ‘discover’ their own city. “Yes, it’s useful for the traveller as you can load up the map and guides of wherever you’re visiting. But also it allows you to discover your own city on a day-to-day basis. Like, did you ever know there was an Agora Hotel in the middle of KL? Or the many thousands of restaurants you didn’t hear of before?” asked Wong. “It’s only through an actual experience that you can discover what the technology can do for you. That’s how Discover the Soul of KL came about. There’s clue-solving and tasks to complete and all involves the N95, so participants can experience the features of the phone firsthand. “Even if you don’t get to participate, at least you’ll be able to watch it on TV and see how the device is being utilised. We want to educate our consumers and with this two-day event, we want to showcase and highlight these elements,” she added.
The big surprise though, for those who have signed up at wirelessadventure.nokia.com.my is that the final 16, selected after auditions with 8TV, will be given the N95 for keeps instead of just the winners. But that’s no reason to not want to win the race. There’s still the all-expense trip to Rome and also the special prize for Best Video Editing which is a similar trip to Prague —- where you should be sure to pack your N95 as well.
So on May 26, eight pairs of participants will team up with eight journalists and eight celebrities to form, yes, eight teams that will vie in a battle of discovery. Time and quality of completed tasks will decide who gets to Discover Rome/Prague.

From 1400 applicants, Soon Min and I (hereby known as 'Kaki Sampai Mati') were chosen to be part of the final 16 (after auditions). Daymn! I just hope we get Hannah Tan as our celebrity teammate. Heheh. If there are tasks like jumping off buildings and eating 'shite'. Then I'm screwed. Please don't kill me Soon Min. Besides we already have our RM3000 phones. *grin*
