I am trying to get a better photo of the elevator at Time Sqaure, but I can only get this one....

Don't worry. I am working in Causeway Bay.
Give me a day to take photos.

That's great annie... although I have friend works in Times Square but I can't reach her....  :'(
But what are they going to do there? It doesn't make sense from the route.... "Shau Kei Wan" MiniBus or MTR to "Times Square" to get the next clue???  ???

This photo is labelled Times Square Causeway Bay but I don't think it is the same as the BQ's.

Just return from Time Square
NO.............

Not Time Square

Can everyone have a look on "IFC Tower 2" (Central) and "Central Tower" (Wan Chai. Last time TAR in Hong Kong went there.)

I just pass by IFC Tower 2 this noon when I go to buy lunch, and I have a strange feeling that maybe the elevator is located there, because I see the exit of the airport express there and there are two elevators very similar to the one shown in the clip, I will go there to have a look when I off work today.~ :happy:

Route in HK??
1. New Airport
-> Airport Express (MTR) or Taxi (a stupid choice) or Bus (a even more stupid choice) ->
2. IFC Tower II (Central) (** Should leave at "Hong Kong" MTR station)
-> Cross Habour Ferry (Good Choice) or MTR (bad choice) or Taxi (suck choice) ->
3. Cultual Centre (Tsim Sha Tsui)
-> Detour??

What about a repeat of the TAR2 clue, of going up the tallest building in Hong Kong?

The thing is, the IFC 2 has overtaken Central Plaza since a couple of years back, so this could definitely lead to a couple of Mary/Peach Central Plaza/Centre Building mistakes... :lol3: I've seen documentaries being filmed on the rooftop of the IFC before.

Not that Dustin/Kandice's lift looks anything like the one that goes up the IFC tower; if anything it's the IFC mall, which... doesn't make sense either... ???

Don't think so. specially you don't need to go to that Elevator  in arrival to HK to go to any transportation.

Thanks for looking all over town for us!

The airport one looks close...

I just looked thru a bunch of pics on Central Plaza but no elevators.

I am trying to work out the place for bamboo climbing detour. I start by looking the public estates in Sau Kei Wan and Kowloon City but there is no luck for me to find the match. Would guys from HK help me to locate?

IFC is most matched than Hong Kong Airport, please note there is directory board behind BQ. I don't really see any similar board near the elevator at the airport.

The scene behind is not too clear, I hope there is anyone who can recognize those buildings (looks like pink or coral colour) behind.

Shorter building looks like a school to me... Will search around the area! (Not Shaukeiwan Government Secondary School though, it's really out of the way! What are D/K doing there?)

The landforms around Shaukeiwan Government PRIMARY School look much better though!

It might help using this map engine.

Neobie, this is the info sunkid passed on, he had his "wan's" mixed up or so it seems?


Dustin and Kandice were spotted in Siu Sai Wan, Hong Kong (outside a school). They were holding a yellow clue (from my friend). I think it is a detour.

Well... This is how my friend's school looks like:

I'll try to grab it later but I just saw a commercial and Charla is kicking a down like we see Kandice doing above.

Ok, seems like all I've been doing is sleeping and working (back to work after being off 1 1/2 yrs).  Just got done reading all of the messages from the last 3 days.

My first thought when I saw the promo was that O/D and the van roll-over is a FF.  The pictures that have been available so far do not show O/D in any of the other tasks.  The roll-over in itself seems to be a FF task to me.

Pictures from Phil's web video will probably prove me wrong but I think I'll stick with my 1st instinct for now.
