Just got off the phone with a friend of mine. Apparently - though I can't prove one way or the other because they don't have a camera and I'm stuck at uni - there's a flag on top of an office building on Elizabeth Street right now. The only likely task, if any, would be one of those 'look out the window and find a flag' deals. I'm thinking there's also a cluebox set up right now on the Rialto Towers Observation Deck, which would make sense because there's a new tower with a higher observation deck, and this gets fewer spoilerhunters like myself.

Firstly, crappy task, even if it's one I just speculated about, and secondly, evil making them visit Melbourne in the middle of a cold snap - currently it's around 1:20pm local time, and temperature is 10.2 degrees Celsius. [Americans, that's just a tiny fraction over 50 degrees Fahrenheit by my count - and yes, that is a cold snap by local standards.] Still, both Sydney and Cairns (and Darwin too?) were rainy when TAR came, so I suppose I shouldn't complain.

Cambotja: país de temples

Avui hem arribat a Siem Reap, poble al costat dels temples Angkor Wat.

Ha estat un dia tranquil, ja que després d’aixecar-nos a les 4 del matí per agafar l’avió hem arribat rebentats a l’hotel i hem fet una mica d’espaxurre a la piscina. Després hem acordat amb el nostre conductor del tuctuc ( versió cambotjana) el que visitaríem durant els tres pròxims dies que ens esperen a Angkor Wat.

Per acabar el dia hem vist la posta de sol al temple principal d’Angkor Wat i quina ha estat la nostra sorpresa que ens hem trobat al presentador del nostre programa preferit de la tele ( Amazing Race). Resulta que estan preparant la pròxima temporada del programa que tracte sobre una gimcana pel voltant del món i el guanyador se’n du un premi d’un milió de dolars ! Ha estat molt curiós la trobada i hem pogut parlar una mica amb el presentador i l’equip del programa ( la veritat gent molt encantadora i simpàtica). Un dia amb un final inesperat !!!!

Només dir-vos que ja hem actualitzat les fotos al Flickr del nostre pas per Indonesia i Malaisia:

Hey everyone. Glad I could help with the Bangkok pics and info. As Peach posted, I can definitely identify 5 teams and think there was another but can't be sure. I know that sucks because you guys wanna know if people got kicked off recently. Sorry about that. Actually, I was chatting with a crew member in the customs line when they told me it was a documentary and I asked how many people there are in the "movie" and just threw 10 out there as a number and he said yeah so maybe there are only 5 teams left.

I can definitely say that the frat guys are the guys in my second set of pics, one with a yellow headband, one with a yellow hat. They were doing pullups on the bus ride from the plane. The 2 girls, one blond/reddish hair, one brunette, both from Texas. The couple with their backs to me in the other shot is a team, they had a number on the packs. Don't remember what it was. Then there's the young guy with the spikey hair and his mother and another M/F who are together but almost positive they're not a couple. That's all I saw in terms of contestants.

I can definitely say there was no african american team. There was one african american guy but he was a sound guy. That's it.

And the girls definitely passed through customs when the rest went another way. And in the picture with them, the black line to the left is the back of a thai lady's head. Airport security or information person trying to help them. I left them when they were still by the baggage claim trying to figure out what to do.

What else? ummmmm, I didn't see any older couple with the group. We were pretty much waiting in the small Siem Reap airport together for over an hour so I got a pretty good look at everyone that was there.

Again, glad to help as much as I can. I'm offline for a bit so may not respond quickly if anyone has any questions. I guess I'll have to start watching TAR now

You remind me of amazing_dean at AXN forum. Hehehe

JonLover wrote:He fooled us at AXN forum. He mentioned that he and his father was called in by AXN for an interview. Then Mr. McKay wrote a comment that it was a fake. How is he? Is he a forummer here? I know he is your friend at forumsnet.

JonLover wrote:Yeah, I go there also every now and then. I have seen your races. You and EragonDk and amazing_dean. Wow, that is great if he copied it. It's flaterry. Hehe

Do you go in Forumsnet Jon?


Hahaha, i remember it. Amazingdean is the one who gives fake spoilers...



Anyways, Amazingdean copies your idea of Idol Online game..

So it is not a mother and son tandem but sibling tandem (,)

Amazing Race in Dubai

Oh my goodness. I think I've just heard the most frustrating news in my life.

I am a big fan of reality shows especially the Amazing Race. Though I only watched few seasons, I can say the show is great.

Hindi ko inaasahan ang aking narinig kagabi, as in kagabi talaga. My high school friend who is also in Dubai paid me a visit in my flat. So kailangan ko talaga mag-order ng tequila ng palihim since bawal sa Arab countries.

While we were having shots of tequila, medyo tipsy na at ala-una na yata ng umaga (eh, may pasok pa kami kinabukasan) naalala niya na hilig ko manood nga ng Amazing Race.

Then he began telling a story he heard from his friends who are working as ground stewards sa Dubai International Airport 2. My God.....I have been dreaming na makita ko rin sila while filming at dumating na nga sila sa area namin eh hindi ko pa rin sila nakita. So sabi ko that is the most frustrating news I've heard that day.

Sana, nakita ko mga contestants ng Amazing Race. So I eagerly asked and grilled him.

May nakita raw ang friend niya na mga camera crew, may hawak ng camera at saka malaking mikropono, tapos may mga dalang malalaking back packs. May hinahabol daw silang mga grupo na parang nag-uunahan din. Akala niya daw kasi may gulo o di kaya shooting ng isang international movie pero nang magtanong siya sa mga kasamahan niya sa loob ng Duty Free, nalaman niya na mga members daw ng isang Travel and Documentary show. Pero suspetsa nila ay contestants sila ng Amazing Race dahil bakit daw sila nag-uunahan pagkalabas ng eroplano papuntang Customs.

Waaaaa, sabi ko, bakit hindi ako ang nakakita sa kanila. Definitely nakipag-unahan din ako sa kanila makunan lang sila ng litrato. At least kapag maipalabas na sa TV masasabi ko na "I was there" "I was there". LOL

Well, that is life. Kung ano yung gusto mo ay hindi mo nakikita. Hehehe. Sayang, that is a sighting din ng mga contestants for Amazing Race and I believe it is the Season 13.

Well, sabi ko nga kailangan ko makausap iyong kaibigan niyang iyon.

Oh, kung sino pa ang addict sa show,s iya pa ang hindi nakakita.

Sigh. Sigh

yeah, but it is not active. And my god, they went to Dubai. And I was there. Oh, I missed it it. Really, I missed it. (,)

Can you translate the blog? (,)

Alenn_wafu, are these the pictures you are trying to upload?

Last weekend mum and I went up to Siem Reap for a long weekend. We stayed in a great place near the Old Market and spent most of the time checking out as many temples as humanly possible, shopping in town and making the most of relaxing by the pool. We saw plenty more temples we hadn’t seen on our last trip along with the favs – Ta Phrom, Bayon and Angkor Wat. We also took a trip out to the Ruolos temples which was well worth it. Make sure you check out season 13 of the Amazing Race. We were at Angkor Wat on Sunday and found the clue box! They were filming for hours and we spent half the time stalking the contestants looking for the next clue, it was hilarious! I’m sure they’ll be spending plenty of time editing us out of the background.

Santa Cruz to Buenos Aires
Tuesday 29th April

Today we spent most of the day trying to get to Buenos Aires. Our flight was supposed to be at 1045, but on the way to the airport at 0900 - it started raining........and then came the thunder and lightning, and before we knew it we were in the midst of a pretty good storm. Oh well, nothing to do but sit and wait it out. Now, airports are not on my list of favourite places to be stuck at the best of times, and unfortunately Santa Cruz airport is fairly small, and thus lacks the distractions of copious amounts of duty free shopping, so we got very bored, very quickly, and basically sat reading our books for the next couple of hours - apart from when we saw Phil Keoghan (of Amazing Race fame) waiting for a plane too - now we are wondering if the Amazing Race was in town - that would be cool!

We finally took off at 1245, during a gap in the storm, and landed in BA at 1715. Flying over Argentina was completely different to many of the other places we have flown - for a start it was pretty flat. The agriculture also looked a lot more organised/westernised. It definitely looks more like a first world country. We are staying tonight at El Hostal de Granados in Sam Telmo (the artists/antiques barrio in BA) before flying to Puerto Iguazu in the morning. We had dinner at El Desnivel which is a Paradilla (Grill) Restaurant, where they serve huge chunks of steak which have been cooked over a wood-fired grill. Paradilla and red wine are the food that Argentina is famous for, so of course we had to partake in both. The atmosphere of the restaurant was pretty cool, very relaxed and laid-back, but still excellent service. The servings were huge, and the whole meal only cost us A$81 = NZ$32.

Long Weekend

I figuratively had a long weekend. I travelled around the whole of United Arab Emirates in one day. Driving was not that fun but by passing the great views of the dessert, I can say I had a memorable weekend.

We went to Abu Dhabi first to fetch some friends, then we headed to Al Ain. The breathtaking views of the Green Mubazzarah and Jabeel Hafeet mad our trip forgetless. On our way down from the top of Jabeel Hafeet, we saw some cameramen along the road. I was excited to see them anticipating it was the Amazing Race but it was only a shooting of a local show.

Then we had a camp at Fujairah and spent the night there before going back to Dubai by passing Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Qiunn and Sharjah first.

I recieved a letter from a someone who read my blog about the sighting of the Amazing Race at the Dubai International Airport. I did not know that people around the world will be talking about that entry as described by the letter sender. Hi, JonLover of entermyworld.heavenforum.

Well, to answer the questions raised by JonLover, I am not also in the position to confirm whether the sighting was really the Amazing Race productions or racers. It was only told to me by a friend who is also reliable. And to make matters clear, we were not that really drank when we were talking about it. We were in our right senses. I asked my friend again if it was true and he guaranteed me that it was also told by his friend who really witnessed the commotion.

My friend's friend is woring for Terminal 2 but that time he saw the the racers apparently was in Terminal 1. He just saw from about 200 meters away people who are running towards the customs. Some of them are holding boom mikes and cameras. Most of them are carrying heavy back packs.

He just asked some airport staffs at the Dubai Duty Free what was the commotion is all about. From them, he got the information that it was a shooting of a travel and documentary show by a network based in the US. But they were thinking it was a filming of the Amazing Race because they seemed to be outrunning each other.

I hope this will answer all your queries and I will send this also to your e-mail.
