I wonder if they had any legs planned in the Middle East and now have to change.  Or I think before, they had to change a destination because a possible route had them flying near a conflict and they wanted to avoid it?

I think as west asia as India~surrounding etc then fly into Southern Africa like Joburg/Namibia/Kenya etc if its that much of an issue.

From the last tweet from Jakarta Airport, the most plausible destinations and/or connecting points happen to be Bangkok and Singapore with Colombo coming in a far third place. The other three international destinations within a logical timeline are almost unlikely: Taiwan, Brunei and Saudi Arabia.

Upcoming foreign destinations for flights out of Jakarta in order:

1) Riyadh
5) Jeddah
6) Bandar Seri Begawan
9) Colombo

2378 are Singapore and Bangkok which can be connected through Bali meaning no flight to Jakarta is necessary.

The first three are rather unlikely to be visited.

I'd go for the westbound one: Sri Lanka!

I wouldn't expect women in shorts racing through Saudi Arabia. Brunei is possible as it is just straight north from Bali, but I still say they'll go west.

Every time the race has visited Vietnam it has been a double leg

I think Vietnam is 1 leg this time in one of the big cities to do a really quick leg, and then off to south asia for 2 big legs :) There's no way they're skipping South Asia  :lol:

4 legs in 2 seasons. + Last time Asia-Pacific had at least 5 legs South Asia was skipped and it was straight to Malawi

Thank you very much for your translation and interpreting. So it is Denpasar-Vietnam. Any idea if it s Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh or somewhere else?

i don't know yet. but my speculation they go to Ho Chi Minh. Because they using Air Asia from Ngurah Rai, possible connection is KL or Bangkok going to Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh/Da Nang. And then i check flight status there are 3 flight from kuala lumpur using air asia to Ho Chi Minh and 1 flight from bangkok this afternoon until midnight. But None air asia flight from bangkok and KL today in Hanoi airport.. So i assuming they go to Ho Chi Min. *pure speculation*

But it will be different story if they change airlines in KL or Bangkok. They can go to other city

Chal_uf,

Do you mean Air Asia (AK) or Indonesia Air Asia (QZ)?

AK is not flying DPS to BKK on 11/21/12.

Important question: when were the teams seen?

If they made it on a 9.10am flight to Singapore they can make it to Vietnam before sunset. If not they'd be arriving in the dark!

Just tip-toeing over to the neighbour TAR International board, we've got our amazing member anhgau2007 who's always updating the TAR Vietnam discussion thread, hopefully our Vietnamese leg could be detected with his/her help and his friends  :hrt:

There is an Air Asia AK 1363 that left DPS at 1:55 pm/2:22 pm and arrived/arriving KUL 4:50 pm/5:17 pm
From that
AK 1454 leaves KUL at 6:50 pm and arrives SGN at 7:45 pm
From that
VJC 8386 leaves SGN at 8:45 pm and arrives DAD at 9:55 pm

DAD is Da Nang, home of the Nam O Bridge where there seems to be, imminently, the switchback for Basket Boat or Basket Bike.

Hahah I don't know those two is different. But I'm pretty sure thats is Air Asia (AK).. So they just connecting Via kuala lumpur

That guys tweeted about 4 hr ago in WITA (+8 GMT) time.. So its around 12.00 - 13.00 WITA (+8 GMT) / 12.00 pm/01.00 pm

The Amazing Race is filming in #Hanoi today!!! One of our fave shows and we caught them filming today! http://instagr.am/p/SUCJqvtgQd/

Teams in the top half of the photo:

1. Team Alabama
2. Team 'Not Asian'
3. Team Blondies (the blue backpacks behind our red F/F team belong to the blondes)
4. Team Red F/F (notice the names and number on their tops, obviously cast because of a specific sporting background - roller derby anyone?)
5. Team 'Florida' (don't know who they are so just calling them the speculated Team Florida right now)

6. A pair of blue/grey backpacks next to Team 'Not Asian'. They could be crew backpacks, but they also look identical to the Hockey Brothers' backpacks.

This raises the question if Bali was an elimination and who was eliminated, as our sighter claims either Team Florida or Team Hockey was eliminated, but both seem to appear in the photo..

 :duno:

In the BOTTOM half of the photo, it appears to be filming crew, as we have all our teams accounted for. Except the man in red on the far right could possibly be one of the hockey brothers.

Confirming is still in progress for the spotted florida and hockey teams, please give us several hours as our Bali's team are mostly at work and school this time around, :)



What strikes me as being odd is why are teams waiting at an hotel? Wouldn't a hotel be opened 24hrs a day?

I would spec that they're getting ready for the clue to be given/taken at some point nearby,

Can we have the time of that instagram posted? Local Hanoi time GMT +7 i guess,..
