Golden Dragon

UPDATE April 2011: Race ending on 22 April 2011.
NEW GOAL after end of race: Return to BERLIN/Germany.

The Dragon Race - Three dragons, seven tasks!

Golden Dragon

Golden Dragon and his two fellow dragon mates Purple Dragon and Blue Dragon have decided to start a race and visit different dragon related locations.

Each one of them has to achieve seven dragon or monster related tasks. They have been released in Japan in April 2007, and the first one achieving seven of the dragon tasks and arriving in London UK Berlin/Germany wins the race!

UPDATE April 2011: I think it's about time to end the race, the dragons are losing too many heads, wings, legs... So the race will end after 4 years on 22 April 2011. If none of the 3 dragons have achieved the seven tasks by then, the winner will be determined with a point system.

Achieved tasks/points:

1. Thanks to funji (24 June 2007): Picture with Ryumon dragon in Japan. 3 points.
2. Thanks to snail CZ (10 December 2007): Picture with dragon sculpture in Czech Republic. 1 point.
3. Thanks to Ra Bob (2 July 2008): Picture with orthodox slavic dragon in Praha/Czech Republic. 2 points.
4. Thanks to JAAMMP (2 October 2010): Placed in cache In the Dragons Lair (Norway). 2 points.

Current total: 4 tasks, 8 points.
