Previews for leg 7(episode 6) do not look like Frankfurt. They look like Seoul! I now believe that the next episode takes the train (72 per day) from Busan to Seoul and has tasks in Seoul. Timing goes something like this:

July 12 Episode 5 continued
Departure from Fukuoka to Busan 1215

Arrival in Busan                            1510

Tasks, ending in pitstop ranging    2100 to 2200

Episode 6 should start JUly 13 with a late morning train trip to Seoul, then afternoon tasks in that area, ending with a pitstop in Seoul that evening.

Release from that pitstop will be the morning of July 14 and teams will find afternoon  nonstop flights from Seoul to Frankfurt:

OZ541 1300 1635
KE905 1315 1705
LH713 1435 1825

Here's the latest update of the ARA2 TIMELINE:

Here's an updated ARA2 TIMELINE:

July 5 - ARA2 begins in Singapore

July 6 - Manila

July 8 - Auckland

July 10 - Rotorua

July 11 - Tokyo TBC

July 12 - Fukuoka ferry to Busan, Korea, with tasks and pitstop in Busan

July 13 - Seoul

July 14 - fly Inchon airport to Frankfurt 

July 15 - Frankfurt

July 17 - Prague

July 19 - Budapest

I am going to speculate that it ends with this:

July 22 - Bangkok area

 :stirtp: The jars look like the jars used to ferment kimchi (very pungent stuff); a lot of jars can be seen, so maybe it's a find-the-right-container type of task. You can see what looks like kunettwigi (Korean swing) in the background, but I can't find any reference to Korean games involving throwing sticks at a stump.

Thanks.  :tup: The airport of course is Incheon (source page); the rest of it looks like Prague, but there's not much to go on.

They're most likely going to Prague. But I found this "spoiler" on the TARA Forums:

I live in the Czech Republic and actually I've discovered the following:
- the scene shooted near Hradcanske Square was partially pretended - I mean reading the clues, running for cluebox...

- after that (?) team headed to Ice Arena in Letnany, Prague, where team had to score a goal. That remings the victory of the Czech Republic during Olympics 1998 in Nagano, Japan

- the Pitstop was located along the river Vltava, with a beautiful castle panorama

- as i know, people slept in Admiral Botel - that's a accomodation located aboard a ship

That's all I discovered... if any questions, write'm down.


I'm not sure if it's true though.

Let's get this clear:

The Amazing Race Asia 2 IS going to Prague, but it's going to Frankfurt first! Who hasn't been reading this thread carefully? I went back in ARA2 Spoilers and discovered that we knew Prague on or before July 28 and Frankfurt on or before Dec. 9. ARA2 is also going to budapest after Prague.

Jetgabriel, it's important that you learn what the entire past history of the ARA2 Spoiler and ARA2 Commentary is from July 5, 2007 forward.

Actually, I live in the Czech Republic and I have some info about next episode. Some new facts I always post on AXN-ASIA.com forums , so check'em out.

I investigated the followings:
  • there is the intersection near Prague Castle. Locale taxi driver told me, that teams had to go to Letnany Ice Arena. I think that they had to score a goal there (in 1998 Czech Republic won Ice Hockey champs in Nagano Olympics
  • teams slept in botel (hotel on water) in Prague
  • teams from Amazing Race Asia met some teams from CBS's Amazing Race at Prague's Airport Ruzyne
  • just because Czech History i think there is gonna be challenge with knight stuff - probably Roadblock
  • the costume, that wears blond lady at the pitstop is faked. I mean it has nothing to do with Prague, it's Moravian. It's something like Chinese lady wears Japanese costume and no one in Europe will notice that
  • I'm sorry for misinformation that pitstop will be at Vltava's riverside - according to photo from pitstop (that with lady in "traditional" costume) - the pitstop is located in Petrin Observatory. You can find a mirror maze there and with the rest of Prague it's connected via cableway

If you have some questions, post them down. :-)

Petr, welcome to RFF. However, you as a new person are not reading this thread anymore than others who have been requested to read it carefully. Prague is NOT the next leg.

Hello!

I live in the Czech Republic and today I spoke with a taxi driver who participated at shooting! He told me that a group of Asiatic/Caucasian people and crew were acting 'How people find each other'. That was happening near Prague Castle (photos from Prague posted here were taken there) and after that they gone to Letnany Ice Rink. I have few contacts yet, so I hope that I can find out even more info.

If you have some new spoilers or you want to ask me something, write me at petr@petrnovak.cz

[edited to fix your link petr, puddin ]

This picture Petr?

ETA: Budapest  ;), thanks to Slowhatch!

Compare Yves' shot below with this photo of the Elisabeth bridge in Budapest; note the pointy building in the background. It shouldn't take long to figure where the pitstop/greeter was.

:bump pictures dated July 15th~

Look what else from another Croatian Picasa album!  July 15

Labelled "Actual amazing race contestants!" And "we tried to catch up but couldn't!"

And it is all mixed up with pics from Frankfurt and Croatia and Trogir!!  FRANKFURT??






Compare the backpacks with the video Puddin found. I think the team might be Paula/Natasha.

Peach gets credit for these, because she suggested I look at Prague. Two blog sightings:
Is it possible both crews went to the same city?  ???

From Slowhatch's Prague Blog find, the author of the blog, Emma, has been kind enough to share her photos of the Amazing Race that she took in Prague.

From the photos, it is clear that  this is TARA, especially as she was lucky enough to also get what we believe is the TARA producer, Michael Mckay (thanks again to Slowhatch for the producer link and to puddin for the producer spotting!)

I'm awaiting further confirmation of the exact date, but does seem to probably be 7/17.
