The Amazing Race Asia 3 Spoilers/Speculation
puddin:
Sounds like a Elim episode to me. Thanks banzai, kaad, & Anthony for the good info :)
puddin:
An old electric coal mining train. The museum guide proudly explained that there are only two of these in the world, both in this museum. They were built by the Japanese during their occupation of Taiwan. With only one headlight and an outer yellow body resembling the garment of monks, some nickenamed it the one-eyed monk. Taiwan Coal Mine Museum, Pingsi.

They do Detour and RB in Taiwan, then after evrything, they go to Allan and Allan tells them the race is STILL on, they have to fly to Japan, where they have to do ANOTHER detour and a extra task and go to the pitstop in Japan.....
Imagination...LOL :)
BUT in this "imagination" of mine, the window-knocking part fits in nowhere. Lol.
Oh! Maybe...
After the RB, teams get their clue that asks them to "Meet Allan on the mat", then Mai/Oliver lose their way (AGAIN!) and end u back at original RB place. Allan goes there and tells them tht they HAVE TO skip th RB and go to Japan...
Oh well, it's all my IMAGINATION..... :tup:

Ryaniez, you do have a fine IMAGINATION, but let's look at the logistical considerations for what you propose. Let's play out the scenario of a Taiwan leg ending in a TBC, followed by a Japan leg which then continues to Hong Kong where we know teams have to be:
May 27 12:00 to 2:00am teams arrive at fourth pitstop
12:00pm to 2:00pm teams are released from the pitstop
assume that tasks for leg 5 will take into the early evening
TBC starts at maybe 7pm to 9pm and teams immediately check flight options for Tokyo or Osaka (not Hokkaido)
last flight from TPE to NRT leaves at 1630 arrives 2040; best option is first flight May 28 is JL640 0820 1230
last flight from TPE to OSA leaves at 1605 arrives 1940; best option is first flight May 28 is NW070 0730 1105
So, this means no team can reach Tokyo or Osaka before noon on May 28. Tasks would take into the evening, say at 8pm. Release from the next pitstop could happen around 8am on May 29. The huge problem with that is that teams are supposed to be in Hong Kong then at the latest. First flight to arrive from NRT at HKG is CX509 0945 1325. First flight to arrive from OSA at HKG is NH175 1055 1345. The entire time frame of your proposed path does not compute. The reason is mainly the large time taken by even the fastest flights and the fact that schedules only exist for an 8 hour period every day.
