TAR14 EP4: 'It Was Like a Caravan of Idiots'(Siberia)

--- Quote ---Are TPTB so insensitive as to introduce this term this season of all seasons?
--- End quote ---
You are forgetting how often they talked about winning a leg in Sarah's season :funny:
Slowhatch:
--- Quote from: Apskip ---I think a little more information about Ovsyanka is warranted. A tour company gives this half-day tour as part of a 2 day tour of the Krasnoyarsk area:
Visiting the old authentic Ovsyanka village. Siberian izba, museum, church and library. Visiting observation place “Tsar Fish“.
--- End quote ---
Not much to say, your description just about covered it. Ovsyanka ("oatmeal") started out a settlement guarding the approach to Krasnoyarsk. The Tsar Fish, on a overlook east of the village, is a reference to the most famous work of favorite-son author Victor Astafiev.

:groan: I give up..
65 writers gave their names to streets, lanes, passages in Irkutsk. For example, there are streets of Gorkii and Herzen, Goncharov and Dostoevskii, Chekhov
Or let us take A.P.Chekhov. He wrote about Irkutsk from his own experience. The memorial board on the house, along the street Furye, 1, reminds us of Chekhov’s staying on June 6, 1890 in the hotel "the Amur yard" to rest on the way to the Sakhalin island. The writer liked the city very much. ...

TARAsia Fan:
Or there's Ensign Chekov from Star Trek! :P

Can anyone decipher what Mark means in the cab? (Cheers to Puddin for helping me out with that video!)
--- Quote from: Mark ---We're leaving/leading in first place with Jennifer and Kisha and Jodi and Christie. And everybody else actually got stuck back in the other airport.
--- End quote ---
"The other airport" suggests they're using different airports out of Moscow, not a surprise since Domodedovo, Sheremtyevo and Vnukovo alternate best flights to Krasnojarsk. But are Mark and Michael in a cab going from one Moscow airport to another, or have they already arrived in Krasnojarsk?
Answering this question may help us figure out:
> Whether it was dark when the lead teams get to Moscow
> Whether Bran was an extended Pit Stop
> The flights available from Bucharest to Krasnojarsk
> The lead Mark/Michael have over the other teams
> When/whether Victor/Tammy get saved by bunching
> How long teams spend in Russia
> Whether the Jaipur leg was one day or two
> Are there likely to be stragglers going into Phuket
> How many teams get to Phuket
:groan: I've looked at shots of "the other airport", but I'm going nowhere! I can rule out Sheremtyevo, but it has similarities to all of Bucharest, Domodedovo and Vnukovo...
Domodedovo Airport? (Tiling)
Vnukovo Airport? (Chair design)
Or Bucharest Airport? (Long lights instead of circular ones, yellow on black and white on blue signs)
