If there are no 2 pitstops in the same city, then it's a TBC??? :duno:
I notice Allan didn't say anything about good bye to a team. Hmm.

I like the TBC, Banzai... solves a few timeline issues...
BTW, there is a SOGO in the Taipei 101 Mall. Looks like the previous pitstop at City Hall was not that far from Taipei 101. Can the next leg's first task be to find a clue at the SOGO in the Taipei 101 Mall? (Hours of operation of mall?) :angel:

There are several sogo stores around..
I think release will come on 5/27 NOT 5/28 banzai.
5/26 release from Pitstop in Hue--to Taiwan>> Pitstop late eve 5/26 or early AM 5/27>>agree with next release afternoon 5/27
Does Wu mean THIS Pitstop 15 hours or the next one?

The Sogo food court that matchs the picture is the Green Sogo, I don't know what the other Sogo food courts look like, lol
Taiwan
In Taiwan, as a subsidiary of Far East Group, Pacific Sogo operates 17 stores: eight in Taiwan and nine in China (three in Shanghai, one in Beijing, two in Chengdu, two in Chongqing and one in Dalian, as of August 2007)[3].
Pacific Sogo recently found itself in the midst of a corruption scandal over gift certificates involving the family of Republic of China's President Chen Shui-Bian; the case is still under investigations as one of the accused, Wu Shu-zhen has not appeared since the first trial was held.

I don't see this the same way you do, Banzai. Allan Wu was quite clear about a 15 hour pitstop, not a 15 hour leg. The problem is that there is a lack of clarity about which pitstop he means. I see the second pitstop in Taiwan as being either a NEL(most likely) or a TBC (and stated my belief in a NEL in my latest TIMELINE revision hours ago) which will then flow to Hong Kong. I see the first pitstop as an extended hour pitstop desperately needed by the remaining teams, but I will take Allan Wu at his word that it is 15 hours and not the usual 36 hours. It will last from teams still in reaching the pitstop between midnight and 2am (fairly close to what others have observed) until probably 15 hours later at 3pm to 5pm. Teams will then do another leg somewhere in northern Taiwan. It is possible to go from Kaohsiung and I will provide information on flying from there to Hong Kong in a subsequent post, but it takes too long to get to Kaohsiung even with the fast train. Let's asssume that teams carry over tasks from May 27 to May 28 and have a pitstop sometime in the afternoon or early evening of May 28. They then fly to Hong Kong after a 12 hour NEL pitstop in Taiwan that is located probably not far from the Taipei or Kaohsiung internaitonal airports.
