How does a water crisis make the city unsafe to visit :groan:

I would like to see Nepal, because we can have a Pit Stop overlooking Mount Everest.
nrh2110:
I do think Nepal is coming, but just not yet. I see CBS grouping Nepal with the likes of India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka in that it won't do more than one of those countries in a given season. Of the last ten seasons, only once has India been visited, and also Bangladesh and Sri Lanka once each. The last time time India was visited was season 27, so it's overdue for a visit again. Bangladesh is also overdue; Bangladesh appeared for its second time four seasons after the first time it appeared, and they have yet to go outside of Dhaka, so there's a chance next season could go there. Either way, I don't think Nepal will be happening just yet, sadly. I hope they prove me wrong though.
Laos I could see happening very soon. Of the past ten seasons, 27 was the only season to not visit Southeast Asia. It's unlikely they will do Vietnam or Thailand again so soon. I'd like to say the same about Indonesia, but then again, of the last ten seasons, 4 featured visits to Indonesia, so it's a big possibility next season will return. Malaysia hasn't been done since 24, so it's almost time for a visit there. Singapore they might do as a beginning leg, especially now that there is direct service between LAX and SIN. So that just leaves three Southeast Asian countries, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos. As much as I would LOVE to see a visit Myanmar, due to the Rohingya situation, I don't see that happening right now. Cambodia, honestly, having gone there, doesn't have much. All of y'all want Siem Reap, but the only things to do there really are Angkor Wat and Pub Street, and seeing as Angkor Wat's already been done, that leaves pub street and I doubt they'll make a leg out of that. Maybe they'll visit Sihanoukville, but I don't see that happening. So that leaves Laos, which is untouched and was almost visited anyways back in 19. You have Luang Prabang, Vientiane, Vang Vieng — so much to choose from.
We shall see. Maybe they'll skip Southeast Asia completely next season.

4 seasons since Japan, 5 since Philippines...could be.
One thing I found interesting is the past couple of seasons have been Europe-heavy:
- TAR 30: 5/12 legs in Europe + 1 in Tangier like 20 miles away
- TAR 29: 4/12 legs in Europe (techincally 4.5)
so I'm leaning toward less Europe, whether it's to include Oceania / South America / Africa in some capacity or else loading up on Asia legs. I think the only country to exclude is Bahrain because lol. I *would* say no China but three of the past four seasons have had penultimate legs in the Pearl River Delta so clearly the well hasn't been run dry there. Perhaps that random partnership with the Taiwan tourism board will bear fruit somehow? (flight to TPE + train to Taichung would be a pretty good opening leg :2hearts:)

China and Taiwan are definitely speak the same language with the same culture.
