TAR13 Episode Timeline, Route, Schedule
apskip:
Not quite. The TransSiberian express runs from Novosibirsk to Moscow in 46 hours or from Omsk in 38 hours. However, you still have to get from Almaty to Novosibirsk or Omsk, a bus or car run of more than 24 hours. The entire concept of going by train from the southeastern corner of Kazakhstan to Moscow by anything other than plane is ludicrous. It's 1935 miles as the crow flies.
apskip:
The information in the AP article of Derrik J. Lang(see Amazing Race in the Media thread) has only a tiny bit that is new. However the juxtaposition of Kazahstan with Cambodia has caused me to take a fresh look at the question of the missing leg. It has to be either a second leg in Cambodia, which I have deemed less probable, or a second leg between Almaty and Moscow (most probably Astana Kazakhstan), which I have deemed as more probable. Given the statements of Bertram van Munster about the time spent in the Cambodian jungle and the information we already have on tasks done in the Siem Reap/Angkor Wat, the probability of the two-legs-in-Cambodia (if so then probably using a TBC in order to fit time-wise) scenario has increased.
Another speculation is based on van Munster's statement that much Kazakhstan footage was shot in "the capital of Kazakhstan." Many people do not know that the capital of Kazahstan was moved from Almaty to Astana 11 years ago. That might include Bertram, who is traditionally suspect on much geography information or might just be using an old atlas(that happens to me on occasion).

From Puddin's post of the TV Guide blurb here http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,15354.msg347684.html#msg347684 BVM says something about "a mysterious floating city".
From an old news article http://www.turks.us/article.php?story=20050705095345754 a floating city was to be built in Turkey. The "Freedom City/Freedom Ship" has been pretty well debunked as scam/pipedream, but maybe some building did get started. It's definitely "mysterious".
Is there still a gap in the Delhi/Dubai/Almaty region? Turkey is in the neighborhood.
