The Amazing Race 14 Schedule *updated*

<< < (4/24) > >>

apskip:
We can take a brief vacation from Amazing RAce spoiling, but please udnerstand that we have 5 legs (or 4 if you believe it will be only 11 legs) of AR15 left to find. We have the first 4 legs up through Romania in hand and we have the Phuket and Guilin legs. We do not know the following:

the 2 or 3 legs after Romania and before Phuket
the leg between Phuket and Guilin
the final leg Finish city

For the leg between Phuket and Guilin, there is a weak data point for Shanghai. For the final city we believe it's in Hawaii although we don't know which island yet. For the legs between Romania and Phuket we know nothing other than a sighting of Phil changing planes in Delhi airport. As a Christmas present to ourselves, let's see what we can do to fill in the blanks.

"So I sat next to a guy at the wedding yesterday who is a cop in brasov and was assigned as a driver to some of the supporting crew for the amazing race when it came through. from bucharest they had to take the train to brasov, and they went to the black church where they found out their road block. i don't remember what the first one was but the second was something to do with a gypsy village. he didn't know what else they did in brasov but from brasov they went to bran and he said he didn't think they went to Bran Castle but they did have their pit stop. in all he said they spent about 3 days in romania and from here they went to russia."

Sounds like a maybe to me! Russia is of course huge. Amazing Races have visited Moscow and St. Petersburg and I doubt that either one will be on AR14. Many of the neat places to visit are now part of the Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia or Azerbaijan. The other major cities in the European part of Russia(west of the Ural Mountains) are:

Krasnodar
Volgograd
Rostov on the Don
Smolensk
Gorky
Yekaterinberg
Omsk
Novosibirsk
Novgorod
Samara
Chelyabinsk
Kazan

There are no other million-plus population cities in the southwest quadrant of Russia. The two I like best for an Amazing Race visit would be Volgograd(formerly Stalingrad and before that Volgograd) with great history and Rostov for being a center of leisure activities.

Do we have any RFF members in Russia?

Whats a good backpacker destination in Russia? Seems to be the theme of things. Even Guilin! I did some research and didn't know it was a so called backpacker friendly place.
