Close, but I don't think so Peach. All over Europe they have these machines, which sell parking stubs indicating a specific time that you paid paid until. You stick it inside the windshield of your car when you park on the STREET. It is the European equivalent of hundreds of parking meters. In the U.S. such machines are indeed found in many unattended parking lots and the meter maid will get you if you don't have a valid stub inside your windshield when they come.

Peach stated
but we think TARA 2 may have been in NZ around July 14 so Frankfurt is really prob TAR 12?
My timeline of New Zealand indicated July 10 for Rotorua. A photo labeled "Amazing Race Korea" was labeled July 12 - 16. ARA2 was not in New Zealand on July 14. They were either in Korea or leaving there on their way to Europe.

Sorry, but I want to throw a monkey wrench into the works. Compare the backpacks with the
video Puddin found. I think the team might be Paula/Natasha.

Your so smart Slowhatch!! Yes I just watched the video and it sure does look like them. Even the tall ones black leggin's are the same style and then the shorter one has the same color hair. If you all agree I can move this over to the Asia spoilers

Just a reminder that some of the conversations in this thread might not seem in
synch due to the fact that I moved what we thought might beTAR12 spoilers over to this thread after it was pointed out that we were on the wrong track and they were indeed TAR2 sightings.

PEACH, just for you I am going to reconstruct the ARA2 timeline which apparently has disappeared:

It's now crunch time, since there are only 3 days to go until teams are introduced in the special ARA2 Team Introduction show that begins ARA2 on AXN. I want to see if we can push to get some approximation of a complete route in the next 3 days.

Thanks for resurrecting this
apskip ! I'll be wishing TARA2 had figured out a way for us all to watch!
We also have this post from puddin:
http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,12553.msg234299.html#msg234299 So I am voting for salt farms in
Samutsakorn Thailand .
But for some reason I was thinking cabio said something about Singapore as end city too? But that was long ago and far away...

I hate to admit it but I might just wait TARA2 out until our TAR12 is over. Who would have known that CBS loves us
?

Peach, you make an excellent point. I had been thinking about the Bangkok reference when I selected Thailand as my choice for FINAL COUNTRY, but i lost sight of it when I selected far north and far south points. that won't do, so I am revising my selections. Here are 8 tourist attractions within 125 miles of Bangkok, each of which comes with a 5 star rating:

There is news from Indonesia reported at SUCKS that Kinar stated the length of ARA2 was 24 days. Let's see how my latest Timeline hold up. July 29 - July 5 = 24 days. Just lucky I guess. Let's summarize it in one place since it is now in 2 segments:

Hi, people of RFF!
Been a lurker for a pretty long time and all I can say is that you guys are awesome. (=
Anyway, with regards to the TARA2, I think I have identified the starting line for TARA2.
Haha. Based on a screencap from one of the promo trailers, I've obtained this image:
..And I found this image from Flickr,
With some aid from Flickr and also Google Earth based on some of my own local knowledge (hehe.), the building has now be identified as the "Asian Civilisation Museum". Based on the promo, "cross-refrenced" to Google Earth, it should be right and should be at the back of the musuem compound, with the grass patch and the mysterious black column structure thing there, where the view of Boat Quay can be seen. (this was seen in the background as Allan was giving the "intro speech" to the teams at the starting line.
Additionally, I think everyone knows Suntec City will be featured again. (3 times... TAR3, TARA1, TARA2.) This time, however, it seems there's a pretty decent task of pulling yourself from one building to another. Kinda like TAR5's. Well, I hope I've been of help and once again, good job everyone.
