Here you go Coutzy.

http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/tw/tw_1764.html

Let's go to spec with this?

surprisingly, the only one on the list is the Philippines, and that's only certain regions

but, like WP was saying, we could probably rule out Russia, Mongolia, and at least the northern half of China (if the local time really is 5:45pm)

you could possibly rule out HK, Macau, Malaysia, and Taiwan (all of which were used in recent races, but i guess that never stopped WRP before...)

the same could probably be said for Perth (doesn't mean I don't think they'll go to Australia this race tho)

so that leaves us with the possibility of Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia, or Philippines (at least in my book)

or it could just be waiting for a flight connection which puts HK, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, and Macau back on the map

 :cmaslol  Not to overlook the obvious about the Phil sighting @ McDonalds, but the short sleeve shirts suggest a warm climate (probably closer to the equator than not), the travel bag suggests an airport restaurant (possibly), not to mention the sheer size of the place.  Not sure if the red uniforms of the "burger flippers" indicates anything.   :cmas22

Even in McDonald's over here, employees are in red shirts. So I don't think that's going to help. (Just sayin'.)

 :cmaslol  FWIW, I don't think he had a Big Mac... the mustard colored package indicates a "chicken" product.  :groan:

This may or may not be off topic for 16 but this may help confirm drydenfire as a staffer:

183 days ago would be roughly TAR 15 filming no? and toward the end of that race? how long was TAR 15 in the can before airing?

IIRC, when I was 6 I'm pretty sure I threw a fit in the Perth Airport because they didn't have a McDonalds (what can I say? I was a picky eater...and a brat  :cmas19)

What about the red and white baggage tag on the bag behind Phil? Think that could help at all?

Yeah it could.  Also try looking up airports with mcdonalds in asia/pacific to see what could be found.

All further discussion of the McDonald's sighting should be in the speculation thread please.

We are trying to keep this thread only for the live incoming info, discussion of those sightings should go to spec.

Thanks guys! :waves:

I'm sorry if this was already posted, this place can be a little confusing, but someone at our site found this sighting of a clue box in Singapore. I think i read in one of these threads that you guys already had some leads suggesting Singapore, so maybe this was what you were referring to.


i just saw the amazing race cluebox at bukit batok, between bukit batok and jurong east, so might be wondering if the new season of amazing race 16 might be stopping in singapore for race

Not sure, this kinda sounds like the first eppy of TAR15, but maybe they are being made to do a similar challange

ntn amazing race pas tantangan makan wasabi jd mau nyusi..nyusi nyok @ankiharry @rithadewi.. http://myloc.me/26dhr nyokkk!!

Translated:
NTN amazing race challenge fit to eat wasabi nyusi .. jd nyusi nyok @ ankiharry @ rithadewi .. http://myloc.me/26dhr nyokkk!!

or

ntn amazing race pass challenges like eating wasabi jd nyusi .. nyusi nyok ankiharry @ @ rithadewi .. http://myloc.me/26dhr nyokkk!

Which makes it sound more like they are referring to past seasons.

Also this tweet, could be anything cause i have no idea which airport she is at:

@hmzacarias
Seeing this one white man waiting at the same gate as us, I can't stop thinking that he is just a contestant on the Amazing Race.

Probably Philly and a tweet sent from the afternoon said she's going to the Philippines....maybe there's a layover in Philly on the way to another American city? not sure, the detectives around here would know more than me I think.

They will probably go to somewhere more touristy, unless another stupid dry/wet detour.

This won't happen, obviously, she's going to the Philippines from the US, so that is impossible if TAR teams are speculated to be in Asia right now...

Found this on Facebook, from someone in Malaysia, posted an hour ago (9:50am CST):

Today -> AMAZING RACE!!pit stop-*tuaran-inanam-bundusan-lintas-sempelang-tg aru-wisma merdeka-karamunsing-lintas-sempelang* =.='

The best that Google Translate can do:
Today -> AMAZING RACE!!pit stop- Tuaran Inanam bundusan cross sempelang tg aru Wisma Merdeka Karamunsing cross sempelang

Wisma Merdeka Karamunsing is a shopping center in Kota Kinabalu City, in Sabah.  

Can anyone get a better translation?
