My name is Jennie and i would just like to inform you that there now is a homepage called http://theultimatetourist.com, where tourists around the world finally can get some use out of all the photos they have, posing by different tourist attractions. Here you can choose from over one hundred attractions and typical touristic activities, upload your photos and collect one tourist point for each photo. Reach different levels and everybody over 80 points will become Ultimate Tourists (And of course, remember you have to be in the photos yourself, to prove you were actually there. The Forbidden City is one of the options.. :). So if you want to compete with your photos, or just spread the word, go into theultimatetourist.com Good luck with your travels!
