Bourkie, Melbourne is ranked #1 in the most habitable city in the world according to the Economist Intelligence Unit for seven years straight in a row. I would love a visit to Melbourne. The Race has surprised in the past. I would not find it shocking that the next visit to Australia will include Melbourne, day or night. Just wanted to say this and now onto my route for TAR 31
Starting Line: Hollywood Sign
Leg 1: (Los Angeles, California---> Nadi, Fiji) Pit Stop: a beach area
Leg 2: (Nadi, Fiji---> Launceston, Tasmania) Pit Stop: Cataract Gorge
Leg 3: (Launceston, Tasmania---> Melbourne, Victoria) Pit Stop: Shrine of Remembrance
Leg 4: (Melbourne, Victoria---> Vientiane, Laos) Pit Stop: Patuxai
Leg 5: (Vientiane, Laos---> Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan) Pit Stop: Burana Tower
Leg 6: (Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan---> Doha Qatar) Pit Stop: Pearl and Oyster Fountain
Leg 7: (Doha, Qatar---> Johannesburg, South Africa) Pit Stop: Cradle of Humankind
Leg 8: (Johannesburg, South Africa---> Montevideo, Uruguay) Pit Stop: The Hand in the Sand
Leg 9: (Montevideo, Uruguay---> Cuzco, Peru) Pit Stop: Machu Picchu
Leg 10: (Cuzco, Peru---> Belize City, Belize) Pit Stop: Xunantunich
Leg 11: (Belize City, Belize---> Winnipeg, Manitoba) Pit Stop: Assiniboine Park
Leg 12: (Winnipeg, Manitoba---> Minneapolis/St Paul, Minnesota) Finish Line: Spoonbridge and Cherry
So that is 5 new countries: (Fiji, Laos, Kyrgyzstan, Qatar, and Belize)
1 country that's been visited once: (Uruguay)
2 countries that have been visited twice: (Peru, Canada)
1 country that has been visited three times: (South Africa)
1 country that has been visited four times: (Australia)
Then lastly Minnesota will become the 25th state to be visited in the race.

Not sure if Fiji would visit by new teams, since we already have French Polynesia since TAR22. My guess is that Australia is a high possibility so it should be looking like this:
Pre-Leg: Los Angeles, California, USA
Leg 1: USA 》 San Jose, Costa Rica , Pitstop: Parque Nacíonal Manuel Antonio
Leg 2: Costa Rica 》Hobart, Tasmania, Australia , Pitstop: Port Arthur
Leg 3: Tasmania, Australia 》 Melbourne, Victoria, Australia , Pitstop: Royal Exhibition Building
Leg 4: Australia 》 Penang, George Town, Malaysia , Pitstop: Kek Lok Si Temple
Leg 5: Malaysia 》 Luang Prabang, Laos , Pitstop: Mount Phousi view
Leg 6: Luang Prabang 》 Vientiane, Laos , Pitstop: Patuxai
Leg 7: Laos 》 Kigali, Rwanda , Pitstop: somewhere in the streets overlooking Kigali Tower
Leg 8: Rwanda 》 Lalibela, Ethiopia , Pitstop: Rock-Hewn Churches
Leg 9: Ethiopia 》 Ljubljana, Slovenia , Pitstop: Prešeren Square
Leg 10: Slovenia 》Faro, Algarve, Portugal , Pitstop: at a nearby beach
Leg 11: Portugal 》 Dublin, Ireland (with Blarney & Kilkenny) , Pitstop: Kilkenny Castle
Leg 12: Ireland 》 Cleveland, Ohio, USA ,
Pitstop: Cleveland Museum of Art

Minnesota would be a good place for the final leg as the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area is considering very likely and safe that TAR will visit the West North Central region of the USA. It would be the 25th US state to visit TAR, enough of New York, Nevada and California final leg visits.

--- Quote from: nrh2110 on March 16, 2018, 02:59:52 PM ---I totally agree with a visit to Laos. They can do a leg in Luang Prabang and then do a visit to Vang Vieng, kind of similar to TAR 29's Hanoi then Ninh Binh. Vientiane, according to several people I met while backpacking around Asia, is pretty boring compared to the rest of Laos and I think those two places, or maybe even Phonsavan would be really cool. Keeping to Southeast Asia, I'd really like to see a visit to Myanmar (I just did one in my fantasy game :lol:) and go to Bagan, which would make another incredible Southeast Asian leg.
We also haven't had a visit to Russia since 21, which is kind of understandable given the current relations between us and them. In my opinion, the Russian legs always seem to have at least one difficult task :
5 - Caviar task (would LOVE this as a Switchback, even as just a fast forward)
9 - Russian nesting doll task
13 - the entire penultimate leg
14 - wood stacking
17 - music/film detour
21 - synchronized swimming, time zones
I would like a visit to St Petersburg! It's been a bit, and then we can do the Caviar task again. If not, I'd really just like to skip Moscow altogether and go somewhere new. Maybe a visit to Vladivostok? A winter leg in Sochi would be cool, they can do Olympic tasks.
What do you guys think?

I'm not sure about the prospect of going to Myanmar. Right now there is kind of a civil war and there is a lot of civil strife between the Muslim and Buddhist communities in Myanmar. Look em' up : Rohingya Muslims.
As a result of internal violence and discrimination, The Rohingyas are migrating to Bangladesh where they are being massacred for illegally entering the country for refuge. Plus, I think Aung San Suu Kyi is being prosecuted, and there's just a whole lot of drama going down there. Besides, Myanmar and Thailand and their neighbouring countries are sort of similar. I'd seriously opt for Laos instead.
Yes! I agree with Russia. I did a fic with Vladivostok, and there's enough for 2 legs in Vladivostok. I highly recommend the race visit Russia again.
