Trivia: Guess what I did on 21st of July
Hi everybody!
I have a tough one for you. The first person to guess precisely what I did on July 21 will win a prize. I want someone to get this prize, so I will daily add hints and photos so you can get closer to the truth. Any answers can be entered in comments to this post, or on Twitter, or on Facebook. On the photo above I am in front of the building where the “activity” took place. You can ask hint questions in the comments and I will answer to help you get closer to the answer (without giving it all out at once). Good luck! See below for hint photo(s)

A pity nobody guessed, I’ll keep the prize for next trivia competition.
So here’s the answer: I was taking part in the TV show “Intervilles” (International), the Russian name of the show is “Большие Гонки”. It’s a TV game show that started in 1962 (mostly in France), and quite well-known.
The city in which the filming took place was La Ferté-Alais, see

As for the actual episode where I participated (and my team Russia won!!), it will come out sometime in the season 2010-2011, if I get a copy I will post it!
Thanks to all for participating and best wishes!
Alexandra 🙂
