They went beyond Asia. They went to Europe.

Shot in Asia and Europe, the series featured contestants from Hong
Kong, Thailand, India, Korea, Singapore and the Philippines. The
Asian promotional tour of Season 3 began in Hong Kong, after
Bangkok, the original starting point, was ruled out because of
political turmoil in the Thai capital.

Moving on to this picture:

There are texts there right? Are they in Chinese characters or in other form of writings?

Can someone enlarge the photo? Phe?

Hi jon, my parent just came back from taiwan.. I saw their pics. It happens that my dad took some pics wif some cars (taxies) and the number plate is exactly the same as this picture. (same = in the way they put the numbers in front, n 2 letters behind, eg. XXXX LL, XXXX GG, XXXX HH,

JonL0ver wrote:Okay so how can we trim down our option to only one country?

Look at this:

We have noted earlier it looks like Taipei 101 but for me it looks like more of an Arabian Dome or Mosque. It's closer also to the temples in Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia and Thailand.

If we can figure out that replica then definitely we are in that country.

Hi jon, this is my guessing only... The 'statue' on the food don't look like a mosque to me, it looks like GODDESS OF MERCY or another Buddha or a pagoda. If it happens to be at taiwan, it could be one of the famous pagodas or famous temples in taiwan or taipei.. But GODDESS OF MERCY is a vegetarian, could the food to be vegetarian? (what kind of vegetarian food can make them vomit!!?? )hehehe

this is the picture of GODDESS OF MERCY..

I mean, it looks like the "statue" of GODDESS OF MERCY*

by **ahdeng88** Wed 01 Oct 2008, 2:36 am

Maybe they r eating raw vegetables, vegetable without cooking could taste horrible!! hehehe

by **JonL0ver** Wed 01 Oct 2008, 2:39 am

Ahdeng,

very much for the informations. So the car really has a Taiwanese plate number. So it is confirmed, next leg is in Taiwan.

Ahdeng, I think you have "bionic eyes" just like Superman. I looked intently at the food and I see the Goddess you were talking - Goddess of Mercy but not Goddess Camomile - she's sitting on a platform. And the plate contains vegetables.

Thanks for the tip Ahdeng and we try to look for pagodas or temples of the Goddess of Mercy in Taiwan.

clap

by **ahdeng88** Wed 01 Oct 2008, 2:45 am

LOL... Jon, you're welcome.. But u r funny lah, wat bionic eyes.. Cam

. It's just happened that my parent just came back from taiwan n i saw it today!. But the statue reali looks like GODDESS OF MERCY or Kuanyin to me lah...

by **JonL0ver** Wed 01 Oct 2008, 3:11 am

Great! Can your dad identify by any chance the restaurant in the videocap? Hmm probably they ate there also during their stay in Taiwan.

From Michael McKay:

5 hours ago, Michael_McKay says:

The next couple of Legs are going to be tough for the Racers, there is no let up for now and they will be tested yet again. I am not so fussed about big travel Legs in this third series, in fact we deliberately went for short, sharp Legs. We wanted this Race to be relentless and I think we've succeeded. So don't expect the focus to be on long travel sectors (unless it is in a bus or something like that).

I think Allan Wu stayed at the Hotel Saigon Morin. It's near the citadel and the bridge.

by **Avalanche** Thu 02 Oct 2008, 2:07 am

Thank you Banzai.

Yes, I agree they slept in that Hotel. Good job Banzai. clap

Ahdeng, we are still looking for a pagoda like what you have suggested.

Kapil: We quit!
Niroo: We want to go back home...that's all

JUST A THOUGHT TO PONDER:

Do you think the show is deceiving us to think they are the last team to check in?

For me, this is just an attempt of the show to portray Niroo and Kapil as the weakest this episode but we'll be surprised tomorrow they aren't eliminated.
Very Happy

by **ahdeng88** Thu 02 Oct 2008, 11:10 am

@ avalanche, i'm just guessing... seems to me tat there is a Buddha sitting/resting on a building/temple... But it could be just something to make the dish look nicer lah

What makes you think this will be next Friday? It could be next Friday after this coming Friday.

by **JonL0ver** Thu 02 Oct 2008, 7:58 pm

The timing. There is a fix time of 5:30 - 6:30 pm. The previous weeks the time varies. This is an appointment depending on the availability of the racers. Pailin just had her chance an hour ago. If this is for next week, it's too early to fix for the time.
