TAR Wishlist - locations, routes, twists, teams, tasks & dreams!**NO SPOILERS**
DavidJunior:
so with TAR 15 filming way past done and getting ready to air, and with TAR 16 gearing up to film later this Fall (October/November, i can't really remember which month), should we start looking at other new possible locations?
One obvious place to look is in Eastern Europe.
it seems they've used at least one "Eastern European" country in every season since season 5.
this does exclude TAR 13 (Kazakhstan came closest to new Eastern Europe, but is in fact, in Central Asia), and to some extent TAR 7 (although Istanbul is in Europe, Turkey is part of Asia Minor)
so here's my list of possible countries (most to least likely IMO):
Bulgaria
Slovenia
Latvia
Montenegro
Serbia
Slovakia
Azerbaijan*
Uzbekistan**
Cyprus*
Macedonia
Bosnia
Albania
Belarus
Armenia*
Georgia*
Tajikstan**
Turkmenistan**
Moldova
Kyrgyzstan**
* goes along with Turkey in the Asia Minor "Europe"
** goes along with Kazakhstan in Central Asian "Europe"

You might want to correlate that list with the State Dept list of travel warnings and alerts:

It is HIGHLY unlikely they will go anywhere on the current list, although Israel is there....

David Junior, a small geography lesson is in order:
The Republic of Turkey is a Eurasian country that stretches across the Anatolian peninsula in western Asia and Thrace (Rumelia) in the Balkan region of southeastern Europe.... Separating Anatolia and Thrace are the Sea of Marmara and the Turkish Straits (the Bosporus and the Dardanelles), which are commonly reckoned to delineate the boundary between Europe and Asia.
I have been to Istanbul, which is European on the west bank of the Bosporus and Asian on the east bank in the same city!

haha
that's why i put uzbekistan further down, although not at the bottom.
i still think they'd at least consider going to a potentially dangerous country over some other places on the list, but then going with safer of the options :res:
