Based on this wishlist, I will do another for the worst despots in history.

Leg 9 - Manila, Philippines (for Ferdinand Marcos)
Leg 10 - Taipei, Taiwan (for Chiang Kai-shek, the Butcher of Taiwan)
Leg 11 - New York, NY (for Boss Tweed) :lol:
TARAsia Fan:
By the way, in each leg, the racers will have to visit memorials in each city for the thousands and in some cases, millions who died at the hands of these dictators.
In NYC, they'll visit the 9/11 Memorial.

Ferdinand Marcos' hometown is actually in Ilocos, Philippines, but I don't know where there. But the place is nice! They could actually go to his mausoleum! :lol: Or even have a roadblock involving finding the one shoe among thousands of Imelda Marcos' shoes! :funny:

And wasn't Idi Amin Ugandan as well?
apskip:
You bet and he wasn't Kenyan although Idi Amin Dada did spell a bit of time (I guess in exile) in Kenya. He is clearly Ugandan, so Ken needs to either substitute Kampala for Nairobi or find a suitable Kenyan dictator (I considered several but none has been bad enough to make this cut).
