And hopefully they all changed lots of $$, as the fixed taxi fare from Narita to that area would be Y210,000, which would be approx $200.

Look's like WRP has a lot of budget right now... well, I'm pretty scared that if they waste too much the first few legs, we'll be seeing third world countries for the remainder... :( Adding Joab's entrance fees, that's a lot of money spent just for 1 clue... Hmmm...

nyydem:
This very well may be nothing, but thought I'd put it out there anyway...
I was using google translator to look through recent blog postings in Japanese and came across this:
http://aschwiiz.exblog.jp/10654362/ (original page)
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://aschwiiz.exblog.jp/10654362/&prev=http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch%3Fhl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26oe%3DUTF-8%26um%3D1%26ie%3DUTF-8%26q%3D%25E6%259D%25B1%25E4%25BA%25AC%25E3%2582%25BF%25E3%2583%25AF%25E3%2583%25BC%26scoring%3Dd%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN (translated version)
The translation is very rough, so it's hard to really say what the author is talking about, but it sounds like he/she went to Tokyo Tower last night (the blog posting is from about 9 hours ago). The post then says (in badly translated English):
--- Quote ---Inside, I was the TV coverage of California.
Travel programs to get the money? I like Shino Teru.
"What if I speak English, I ask, I have been traveling around Japan to collect money."
So. . . The coins were only 100 yen from 100 yen gave.
Out by staff.
Do you want to be out on TV? The paper called WATASA.
Signed.
California is not a distraction on TV.
--- End quote ---
Obviously, what stands out are the "TV coverage of California" part and the "travel programs to get the money" part (I have no clue what Shino Teru is/means). Is there anybody out there who speaks/reads Japanese who can translate this better than google can, and see if it may have to do with the race?
edited to get rid of stupid typos

Wonder if teams needed to pay their entrance fees? 1640 yen for both adults. Their opening hours are 9am to 10pm, so i think every team should be able to make it to the tower within the time limit.

Maybe the producer let them go free?? It may awful if you ask the team to spend their cash on entrance fee..
If not mayb the money they give will be more as Japan is a expensive country...
Jobby:
I believe a team asked the guy for money, and was filmed.. then the producers asked him if they were allowed to show him on TV.. if he does.. he has to sign an agreement (we know about this).. and he did?
