Topic: Retrace the Steps of The Amazing Race Contest

[SuperTux]

Maybe I can start it with Cui Ping Jiu Jia shown in leg1 (Shanghai) in TAR21 where contestants had hasma (the fatty tissue found near frog fallopian tubes). After this episode was aired many fans in Baidu forum (especially those from Shanghai) were surprised at the crew choosing this place for the challenge because this restaurant received bad reception online. We have a website where people can rate restaurants, and this restaurant received many 0 points... People blamed this restaurant for its low speed in serving the meals, bad serving attitude, and poor dishes.

This is what it was like when S21 was aired. Don't know the circumstances now...

ETA: Latest news--Cui Ping Jiu Jia has been closed. The boss owed a lot of money and hence the court decided to confiscate it.

I think this could go in the RETRACE THE STEPS OF TAR CONTEST

Wow at the restaurant being closed.

And I think we have a thread called retrace the steps of the racers somewhere.

What happened?! If the entire village burned down, then the Songwe Museum where leg 2 visited is gone too. I've always wanted to go retrace the full Zambia adventure.

it happened in 2008 I think, I don't remember exact details, just that there are no plans to rebuild

Awww... that sucks. I wonder where all the villagers relocated...

[Neobie]

I believe it had always been a touristy thing rather than a real village.

What are some other places the race visited that don't exist any more? The Thu Thiem Cafe (TAR 3) was a wrecked shack when I visited five/six years ago - I'm not sure if it was a legit cafe in the first place though?

Traced throughout Chicago (homey ) already:

Buckingham Fountain - went there a month ago for a friend's wedding photo op
Chicago Water Tower - See it in the skyline almost everyday
ORIGINAL Gino's East - live a few blocks from the place  They serve great pizza, but the deep dish pizzas are rather pricey.
P.T. Park (Ping Tom Park) - The only enjoyable park I've jogged in.
