TAR 15 Speculation on Spoilers
apskip:
I am going to make a guess with the hypothesis that teams stayed in Japan and visited somewhere (Mt. Fuji, Kyoto, Nagoya or Sendai are the top 4 on my list. I've been to all except Mt. Fuji (sort of visited in AR9) and they are all worthy of an AR15 visit.
From Kyoto or Nagoya, teams would go the short distance to the Osaka airport. There is an airport at Sendai, but it is possible to get to Narita airport so either one could have been used.
The Sendai airport flies only to Dalian and Beijing on Tuesdays and only twice on a Tuesday morning to Narita, but there are freqeuent flights to Osaka. So it looks like the Osaka to HoChiMinh City would be likely either way. I found only one flight combination that made sense:
AN 6064 operated 0810 to Okinawa
Change Okinawa to Taipei to CA121
Change Taipei to CA783 arrives SGN 1620
I am not saying it did happen, but it is logical and could have happened. Another possibility is that teams went to Okinawa or Taipei from Tokyo, did a leg and then sent on to Ho CHi Minh City. Nonstops from Taipei to SGN are CA 781 0730 0950, Eva 391 0920 1140 and CA783 1355 1620.

Neobie speculated that the logical places for leg 2 are Japan itself, Taiwan, South Korea and China.
My answer is this is right. The East Asia geography is simple enough. If you evade China there is only a narrow corridor heading south from Japan, which catches Taiwan. If you go straight west from Japan you get ot South Korea. If you go anywhere south of the westward line, you end up in China. If you include islands there is always the Philippines, but I don't think that leg 2 went there.
I favor the concept that AR15 stayed in Japan for leg 2 before heading for HoChiMinh City. Taiwan, South Korea and then China are all lower probabilities.

I do not think that they stayed for 2 legs in Japan to cut cost. But a 2 legs in Japan for a 2 hour season premier is possible. But definitely not 2 weeks worth of Japan because they would want to fly to as many places as possible when the season just premiered, just to spice things up and not to make the season appear as if it's boring by not flying to another location.

If it was a spoiler for us don't you think I would have posted it here? The last thing I need today is for someone who didn't take the time to read the thread to go moving my posts around. Honestly! :meow:
And NO, there is no evidence that they are racing in Singapore. Guess I'll see this quoted at sucks next. (:;)
