I hope they will be back to my country Vietnam again but not in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh city. There are a lot of other good places for TAR.

And to go along with that winter-favored route posted earlier, a summery one <3

START: Gateway Arch, St. Louis, MO

Leg 1: to Calgary, Canada to Banff National Park, Canada
(Seriously, people have been complaining about Canada not having a "real" Pit Stop since TAR 9. Adventure sports, orienteering, possibly a rappel, y'know, basic leg 1 stuff)

Leg 2: to Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada
(So I WAS going to simply put in a Vancouver leg because that's what most people do but screw it, it's my fantasy race. Language tasks, dog race training, mining, y'know, basic leg 2 stuff)

Leg 3: to Chengdu, China
(blahblah China but Chengdu is fun and awesome and spicy and there HAS to be a forced game of baijiu roulette at some point in our edition of TAR)

Leg 4: to (+++) to Kratie, Cambodia
(the leg itself will be entirely in Kratie (your standard 'simple way of living in SE Asia leg') but the fun part of the leg is that teams aren't told how to get to Kratie - either through Phnom Penh or through Siem Reap. NEL because why punish people on a strategy-driven leg?)

Leg 5: to Bangkok, Thailand to Pattaya, Thailand
(...when we can punish them here   :snicker: Imagine the F4 elim of TAR 15 with the language difficulties and crazy mental tasks and alcohol and drunken locals, then imagine it with twice as many teams and with a Switchback to the Reclining Buddha FF (now a regular task)<3 )

Leg 6: to Doha, Qatar
(I mean if everyone here posts it enough, maybe WRP will actually host a leg here  :funny:)

Leg 7: to Bari, Italy to Matera, Italy
(whatever on the leg as long as the Pit Stop is here)

Leg 8: to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
(when is the last time we've had a good urban African leg?)

Leg 9: to Bahir Dar, Ethiopia to Gondar, Ethiopia
(coffee, goats, Amharic lessons, castles, and an NEL? why not)

Leg 10: to Toulouse, France to Andorra to Zaragoza, Spain
(rockets, product placed vehicles, and killer fatigue make for a grueling leg <3)

Leg 11: to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
(TIL: Santo Domingo is the largest city by population in the Caribbean. Imagine a less horrid version of the Panama leg in 19 with presumably a less awesome result)

FINISH: National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame Rooftop Terrace, Chicago, IL
(in 23/4 seasons I don't understand why the insanely spoilerphobic WRP hasn't yet decided to rent a roof out to host the final Pit Stop)
(also food-related memory challenge <3)

I hope Race come back to Thailand, my country, again. And make up with some good legs. The last one on TAR14 and 19 aren't really impressive. Especially the Bangkok II in TAR19. (:;)

The area they went is pretty redundant. They rarely touch the north amd northeast part of Thailand which had a lot of cultural things and specific traditions, but instead, THEY ALWAYS go to Phuket and Bangkok and those stuff. Which is really boring since it almost look the same every time.

Also, Had they ever done the Songkran things in the Race. It would be really cool to add a task with this water festival. Like seaching the clue in Holi festival in TAR13. This would be really fun to watch and can drive some teams to break down for sure.

Leg 1   Denver, United States → Ottawa, Canada
Leg 2   Ottawa, Canada → Edinburgh, Scotland
Leg 3   Edinburgh, Scotland → Liverpool, England
Leg 4   Liverpool, England → London, England
Leg 5   London, England → Maputo, Mozambique
Leg 6   Maputo, Mozambique → Hhohho, Swaziland
Leg 7   Hhohho, Swaziland → Capri, Italy
Leg 8   Capri, Italy → Plovdiv, Bulgaria
Leg 9   Plovdiv, Bulgaria → Kandy, Sri Lanka
Leg 10   Kandy, Sri Lanka → Colombo, Sri Lanka
Leg 11   Colombo, Sri Lanka → Melbourne, Australia
Leg 12   Melbourne, Australia → Seattle, Washington

Good route, but 3 legs in the UK is a bit much. Similarly, the first 4 legs of the race are in an English- speaking country, Swaziland and Sri Lanka have decent English-speaking populations, and Australia and USA speak English, so there aren't too many possibilities for a Language Barrier, which is disappointing.

So I was in such a wishlist mood today, I went and created two complete Legs complete with "episode caps." 
http://dryedmangoez.com/2014/04/15/the-amazing-race-us-finally-returns-to-the-philippines/
^These are the first two Legs in the Philippines.

And yeah, it's THREE! Legs in the Philippines since the first two Legs can be one super/double/TBC Leg and also since it will probably take 20 more seasons to return to the Philippines anyway.  Plus, it's just my dream to have TAR up where my family's from.  But also, we NEED Pig or Jig 4.0 Detour in Legazpi. lol

Also, I know it sucks that there's six Legs in Southeast Asia, but I definitely want a Nepal Leg and the only way to do that without having horrible logistics trouble with overly complicated flights (which we know TAR hates these days), I needed the Singapore and Mumbai Legs. 


Leg 1 - San Francisco, CA, USA > Bontoc, Mountain Province, Philippines
Leg 2 - Bontoc, Philippines > Tuguegarao City, Philippines
Leg 3 - Tuguegarao City > Legazpi City, Philippines
Leg 4 - Legazpi City > Singapore
Leg 5 - Singapore > Kathmandu, Nepal
Leg 6 - Kathmandu, Nepal > Mumbai, India
Leg 7 - Mumbai, India > Johannesburg, South Africa
Leg 8 - Johannesburg, South Africa > Maseru, Lesotho
Leg 9 - Maseru, Lesotho > Brussels, Belgium
Leg 10 - Brussels, Belgium > Paris, France
Leg 11 - Paris, France > Reykjavik, Iceland
Leg 12 - Reykjavik, Iceland > Denver, Colorado, USA

It would be more feasible if the they went eastward or westward rather than making a giant circle. ;)
