Phone games

To shorten the time before flying to rome, we thought, a small game will help you spending the time wisely. So we will publish a question about rome (you’ll find the answer here on the webpage easily – however, you’ll also learn a lot about the upcoming trip, so it’s a win-win).

We got 5 cards, all of them starting with (plus) 49 157 – 30944

  • 402 Carlos
  • 518 Dado
  • 534 Carmel
  • 535 IC Matabang (free card!)
  • 682 Ruby

Meaning: 5 chances for you. You can comment below here, who’s first with each answer to a question can get a card in rome from us for 10 € each. Who’s to late for this one – there is only 1 more questions coming up. Who’s to late at all: Bad luck!

  • Question 1) There’s a nice name for the group from the philippines including Jennifer, remembering a nice fairytale. It’s found on the page. Please tell me the name and where you found it. Ok, the first might be a bit difficult for a beginning – so a little bonus: Select your number from above, and I sponsor the first SIM… but only if you solve it first – so better hurry up!
    Hint: It is NOT The wolf and the seven young kids Search for it, Enjoy!
    IC, right, it’s snowwhite and the seven dwarfs 😉

  • Question 2) We will need an audio guide für some of the sights. There are a lot of paid ones – but also free. I selected one and recommendet it. Find out which one (hopefully you have installed it already!! and downloaded the Audios for the Sights we are visiting). I wrote about this App in Context of a certain sight. The answer is the name of this sight… (sorry, this sim card won’t go for free anymore).
  • Question 3) Why don’t I want any of you walk around with a handbag – and what will you suspect, if a woman with a baby approaches you (begging for money)?
    Ruby, right, beware of thieves and pickpockets, please!
  • Question 4) We are looking for a big, impressive and famous church. While the Archbasilica of the Most Holy Savior at the Lateran, founded in 324, is known as the oldest church, the one we are looking for was started building in the aftermath of the Battle of Actium (31 BC). So it’s definitely older, but it was first a temple for all gods and only declared as a church by Pope Boniface IV on 13 May 609. Since that’s now all to easy, I want to know the (original latin!!) Name of the church, not the (wellknown) name of the temple.
  • Question 5) The last question will be about Amalfi Coast. There are a lot of escursioni (hikes) in that area, one with a nicer view then the other. Lily found two very nice and interesting tours (walking) there. We’re looking for the *Italian* name of *both* tours. Sorry, but no english, no german, no nothing else accepted. And “Amalfi” is also not the name of the tour. (and when reading about it – please think about, if you would like to join the tour, inform about area etc.).
    Better cross-check your answer at Amalfi (link)…

(Card from A ld iTalk, 12 GB, Flatrate within Europe to current country [Italy] + Germany, valid for 4 weeks (from tomorrow – so more then enough time for your vacation) in europe, you can also call italian and german numbers (so within the family owning a card, but also Lily / me – but also italian phone #).

    Tangay pozorrubio

    Sim 535

    1. Stefan Vermeulen avatar

      “remembering a nice fairytale.” – Tangay pozorrubio is not a fairytale as far as I know… and it stand’s for the whole trip, not the smaller group of the philippines incl. Jean. Sorry, try again 😉 Count, use your phantasy, look at the schedules…

      Congratulations, Toto. You’re the 3rd with that answer – but it’s still not a fairytale, and it still stands for the whole trip / all members 😉

      It is also NOT “The wolf and the seven young kids” – even though that is a fairytale and it comes much closer to the answer we’re looking for…

      Do we answer all the questions? 🫢
      No. 3 Because they will be stealing from you. The baby is a diversion while the woman picks your pocket.

      1. Stefan Vermeulen avatar

        Right. They often come with a motorbike, and snatch your bag. Don’t even try to hold it – you’ll just break your bones.
        Best store money in a belt, never all in one place, never all papers etc. together. Make copies of your passports and important papers and share them.
        So Right, Ruby, we have the second winner – you may select your phone number. Question 2 remains open.

    answer question no 4 – pantheon

    1. Stefan Vermeulen avatar

      “Since that’s now all to easy, I want to know the (original latin!!) Name of the church, **not** the (wellknown) name of the temple.”
      (pan- / “παν-” meaning “all” + theion / “θεῖον”= meaning “of or sacred to a god”) – that’s greek…

    sta maria rotonda no 4 quesrion

  8. Stefan Vermeulen avatar

    Pantheon is informally known as “Santa Maria Rotonda” (italian, non official). The official latin Name is “Sancta Maria ad Martyres”. Anyway, I honor your work and accept the answer as right.
    Which # do you like?

    Btw: Are the americans not interested in cards (do they pay roaming? Is it not more expensive?). Anw what about Agnes?
