Maybe something to do with birds? First leg had the owl.
I thought it was a Falcon, unless you're talking about the Pit Stop

WHAT A LEG!!!

And Bangkok next week! There's a country we didn't see and expect!

Another international leg is good for me!

It was less "messy" than the article made the leg sound., the taxi thing was mostly the usual random TAR cab-luck combined with language barrier for non-English-speaking countries.
[Still would love to learn how they'd do leg, if the team without visas had survived up to this point - that's still too weird - but it has no direct impact on the leg, so end of this aside]

As expected they always find a way to tie it to Canada with the embassy visit.

Loved the Chinese Medicine task. It felt very familiar, I think we've seen a similar task elsewhere.

Curious if arrival times difference will actually allow teams to have different trains to Shanghai, or if that will just become another bunch point.

I'm proud of this cast for nobody even uttering the P-word since the first task.

And now that I say it, watch a three-way quit happen next week :lol:

I like the episode.

Karen and Bert are the second team this season to break a door out the airport.  :funny:

Korey and Ivana's taxi and the shade they threw at him. :funny: Korey is a good teammate.

The tour guide task had low standards to pass. As someone who can speak Mandarin, it was cringey to watch people butcher the language. :funny:

Sam and Paul looked hot in speedos, especially Paul. :funny:

The teams are growing on me!

Sam and Paul - Love this team! Paul is kinda of cute and I low-key have a crush on him.
Zed and Shabbir - Super positive. They are good human beings!
Adam and Andrea C. - Andrea is carrying the team with her positivity.
Kenneth and Ryan - Ok. Less annoying.
Karen and Bert - I like them. Wish they had more screentime.
Korey and Ivana - Korey surprised me with his compassion. They are the comeback kids for sure.
Andrea and Ebonie - I want to root for them but I just can't.

If you pause on the travel book they get in Vancouver, you see two of the countries listed that Sinorama tours, Nepal and Myanmar (Burma)

Double-ouch! Those are two oft-requested countries no TAR has yet touched :(
