Are we ready to start speculating more about Ecuador and the Atacama desert?
Sure peach..whatever you want .
posted by izad today in reply to a question on Poland..
I don't have much evidence on Poland.. basically that's what I think I heard. All I'm guessing is the teams must be from a really far place from KL for the fifth team to be so far behind the other four (if they were coming in from a much closer place/country, or if that place have lots of choices for connecting flights, I'm pretty sure the fifth team would've figured out some other flight options.. but they were at least 7-8 hours behind)
Lots of interesting places to visit in Poland besides Warsaw:
