I am interested in geography and has been reading atlas book since I was 7 or less. Also, I sometimes like to draw some fantasy maps on HVS paper with pen.

Same same! Accurately describes me too! :colors

Me too! I think are interests in the Amazing Race correlate with love of Geography/Travel.

Brittany the Instagram model's "What country is Switzerland in?" quote wins.

I have to say TAR has had an exceptional influence for my love of geography and traveling. The show has taught me more about how to pinpoint cities, countries, and landmarks on a map than any school has ever done. The fact that the show travels to beautiful cities I have never before heard of such as, more recently, Chamonix and Valletta, makes me believe there are hidden gems everywhere even in the most unlikely places. Plus, the routes for the show are usually more exciting for vacationing than typical (boring) guided tours.

True. This is what makes me think TAR is educational in a way.

So, how many teams will not know about Armenia and/or Georgia?  I could see one team confusing Georgia with the U.S. state.

I only know of Armenia because Charla & Mirna are Armenian, so I predict: all of them until the end of the leg there. :)

I'm currently watching TAR Aus 1.

Sam & Renae

"We're going to Hong Kong."
"What's that? I've never been there."
"Where is it?"
"I don't really know."
"In Singapore?"
