--- Quote from: Marionete on September 06, 2017, 05:38:29 PM ---Yeah, I've thought about it, and Taiwan, although an under-visited country, wouldn't stand out too much from other Asian visits.
So removing one of Taiwan's legs and keeping both of Colombia's would probably be best. :P

--- End quote ---
When I traveled to Taiwan last summer, I took a guided bus tour up to Keelung City and along the northern coast. Beautiful hills with buildings and points of interests adapted into the terrain (Jiufen Old Street, Zhongzheng Park), numerous fishing and crabbing villages spread along the slopes with family-run shops, the seemingly glamorous Tamsui district and Lover's Bridge, the islet into Yehliu Geopark was like a forest blended in with Arizonan Red Rock sandstone, and I also was told and then researched about the dark culture behind those betel nut kiosks planted along the rural roadsides. So many vantage points and a more diverse look into Taiwan. I am surprised The Amazing Race has yet to travel into that region.

georgiapeach:
Taiwan needs a "country" leg. I researched the air options thinking we might see it on 30, and the "other" airport has surprisingly good air connections.
