I hate to admit it but I might just wait TARA2 out until our TAR12 is over. Who would have known that CBS loves us :hearts:?

Peach, you make an excellent point. I had been thinking about the Bangkok reference when I selected Thailand as my choice for FINAL COUNTRY, but i lost sight of it when I selected far north and far south points. that won't do, so I am revising my selections. Here are 8 tourist attractions within 125 miles of Bangkok, each of which comes with a 5 star rating:
Ayatthaya
BangPa In Palace
Chainat
Lopburi
Nonth-buri
Pak Chang
Saraburi
Singburi
I am now substituting these and withdrwing Chiang Mai and Phuket as proposed locations for the Finish Line of ARA2.
I personally am rooting for Ayatthaya. It is the closest to Bangkok of any on this list. Also, I visited there in 1978 as a stopover on the way to Chiang Mai. It was very impressive then and I am sure that it still is.

There is news from Indonesia reported at SUCKS that Kinar stated the length of ARA2 was 24 days. Let's see how my latest Timeline hold up. July 29 - July 5 = 24 days. Just lucky I guess. Let's summarize it in one place since it is now in 2 segments:
July 5 - ARA2 begins in Singapore
July 6 - Manila
July 10 - Rotorua
July 12 - Korea
July 15 - Frankfurt
July 17 - Prague
July 19 - Budapest
July 21 REST DAY
July 22 Budapest to India (choice of Mumbai, Calcutta, Chennai, Delhi)
July 24 India to China (choice of Beijing, Shanghai, Xian, Hong Kong, Macau)
July 26 REST DAY
July 27 China to Tokyo
July 29 Tokyo to FINAL CITY
July 29 Bangkok to one of these relatively close places in central Thailand for the FINISH LINE:
Ayatthaya
BangPa In Palace
Chainat
Lopburi
Nonth-buri
Pak Chang
Saraburi
Singburi
Of the above, the India, China and all of Thailand are speculative. All the earlier legs plus Tokyo are confirmed, although the timing of Tokyo is not.

Hi, people of RFF! :waves: Been a lurker for a pretty long time and all I can say is that you guys are awesome. (=
Anyway, with regards to the TARA2, I think I have identified the starting line for TARA2. :yess:
Haha. Based on a screencap from one of the promo trailers, I've obtained this image:
..And I found this image from Flickr,
With some aid from Flickr and also Google Earth based on some of my own local knowledge (hehe.), the building has now be identified as the "Asian Civilisation Museum". Based on the promo, "cross-refrenced" to Google Earth, it should be right and should be at the back of the musuem compound, with the grass patch and the mysterious black column structure thing there, where the view of Boat Quay can be seen. (this was seen in the background as Allan was giving the "intro speech" to the teams at the starting line.
Additionally, I think everyone knows Suntec City will be featured again. (3 times... TAR3, TARA1, TARA2.) This time, however, it seems there's a pretty decent task of pulling yourself from one building to another. Kinda like TAR5's. Well, I hope I've been of help and once again, good job everyone. :wohoo:
TARAsia Fan:
Good job, Dragoondaniel. Thanks for coming out of lurkdom and posting. You'll find we have a lot of TARA fans here. :tup: :tup: :waves: :waves:
