And then there's best friends Zev and Justin from Los Angeles. Justin works for National Lampoon, and Zev has Asperger's syndrome; despite their differences, these two have an unbreakable bond of friendship that was forged via Zev's unexpected (and wicked) sense of humor. Look for this duo to face down some challenging odds and hopefully come out the other side even stronger.

Last team to arrive? saved by NEL?

maria probaly got it cause she can reconize chinese/japanese
she got the right one...  :jumpy:

That would be awsome! But just because she's Chinese, it doesn't mean she can read Japanese. Both are written in different characters.

On the clue it says 品川,well I used a chinese keyboard to type that.

What I'm trying to say is that there are alo of similarities

Yes jerry, Slowhatch as well  :tup:  :jam:

Thanks, Puddin. The plate on the ground and the one upper-right might be prefectural plates.

I noticed something!
The second to last picture,right above Jessica's head?
I saw Japanese 品川 and 北县(?) I'm sure about the first one,it's Ishigawa or something.Same name with TARA2 shinkensen station from Tokyo to Fukuoka.

Zev's got an unexpected (and wicked) sense of humor?  I wonder where he got it from?  I don't have a wicked sense of humor (usually), but I've got a good one courtesy of a nutty dad.  Don't worry, Dad's not nutty in a bad way -- his sense of humor's nutty.

Finally!! Cai Be!! I thought we were going to be stuck in Tokyo forever!! :funny:

If anyone can read this, it might tell us exactly where we are.



But after TARA 3, I know that Cai Be is a floating market town. See how that ramp slants down? I'll bet $$ that they are heading to a boat/boats.

But do we see everyone there? Counting noses....


Oops...puddin is way too quick for me...more pics!! Yippee!

When I was groe\wing up, our next door neighbors had a Beijing duck as a pet along with their beagle.  That was before my family adopted our first schnauzer. And that was a smart duck. (It even protected the beagle one time from a large German Shepherd by nipping it on its snout!)
So I suspect we'll have trained ducks and not-so-well trained Racers. That will be interesting.

The kanji, by itself--品川 (Shinagawa ward)--doesn't appear to be meaningful. Tokyo tower is in the Minato ward. From the wiki:

Shinagawa is also home to the main motor vehicle registration facility for central Tokyo (located east of Samezu Station). As a result, many license plates in Tokyo are labeled with the name "Shinagawa."

Thud is the sound you hear when they pull the rug out from under you.   :groan:

The clue-for-show says "When you land, make your way to the Tokyo Tower Studios."

So that means get there any way you can right?  But, we know from the LAX UA gate area that the teams are required to take a taxi to get there.   :duno:

So that requirement must be written into the additional information.  But I always thought we could go by what the main clue says.
