Newspaper collection? This?

Oh, and public transport from KLIA to the city is tough enough (if you want to save money and skip the express rail service). From the city to Batu Caves using public transport? Close to impossible..! (Being the cheapskate backpacker I was, I tried searching and failed miserably...)

yes it appears the batik task is the same from TARAsia.


--- Quote ---the making batik one looks pretty hard.

It wasn't all that hard really from what I recall.  Each racer was given  a pattern of flowers that they had to trace out on a piece of cloth (silk I believe).  Once the pattern was traced they had to use paints to color in the pattern.  The colors had to match the example perfectly before they were given a clue. It took time and patience but it didn't appear that difficult.  There were a couple of teams who didn't follow directions and did random colors and they had to redo their the task.

I tried finding the clip on youtube but I couldn't find it.  I have the episode here on dvd.

festive cookies... could be for a malay, chinese or indian festival. generally these cookies are not that exotic where teams would not be able to indulge in it. my best guess would be Durian flavoured dodol. Not exactly a festive cookie but it is a local delicacy. I brought this to some international conference and most of the delegates there could not take this.. haha just my guess anyways

michael:
haha, again, THANKS ROMEO:



OK, so maybe it's not EATING the cookies, they just have to search through a lot of them!

OK, my supplementary flight analyses are complete. First comes the background. The Salt Mine Lunch can only be explained by an Extended Pitstop in the Krakow area. The question is for how long? My answer to that question is that it must be only a 24 hour extended pitstop, not the 36 hour variety and I offer as a rationale the need for Phil and the crew to get some rest after the breakneck speed and extended hours of episodes 7 and 8. Phil, the crew for the Guidos and the crew for Eric/Danielle had just over 1 hour between the pitstop ending 7 and the beginning of 8. They needed more than the usual 12 hours.

I have examined all routes from Krakow to all cities having long-haul nonstop flights to Kuala Lumpur. This includes Vienna (OS1), Zurich (MH9), London (MH3), Paris CDG (MH21), Amsterdam (MH17), and Frankfurt (MH 5). On Saturdays, Vienna and Zurich don't have those flights and they can only redirect traffic to the other gateways so they are out. The action starts around 7pm Saturday night which is the earliest that Uchenna/Joyce or Oswald/Danny could be on a flight. If they can get it, this is a fabulous combination:

OK537/OK770 departing KRK 1905 through PRG arriving FRA 2255
QF6 departing FRA 2355 to Singapore arriving Dec. 9 1800
SQ616 departing SIN 1915 arriving KUL 2015

Either something must happen en route or no team is able to make these flights, as a team that did would invalidate Izad's observations.

The morning of Dec. 9 all teams that haven't left will be at KRK airport ready to get on the earliest flights. Their choices revolve around OK771 deaprting at 0530 from KRK arriving Prague 0640, which connects with these flights:

BA853  arriving LHR 0910  connecting MH3 departing 1200 arriving KUL 0725

OK758  arriving CDG 0905 connecting MH21 departing 1200 arriving KUL 0635

OK534 arriving FRA 0835 connecting MH5 departing 1230 arriving KUL 0625

For AMS, LO3910 departed KRK 0600 through WAW connecting with SP2365 (code-share with LOT) arriving AMS 0945.
MH17 then departs AMS 1200 arriving KUL 0605. This is the earliest possible arrival on Dec. 10 from Europe. Unless the teams were released prior to 1230am from the Castle pitstop, there is no way I can see for the 3 trailing teams to get to KUL any earlier. If it were a Friday, it would be different.
