OUTSTANDING! :yourock: and you're way too modest concerning your own contribution to this.
Much appreciated.

the first greeting is Spanish, followed by Japanese and French! We already know about Japan this season as well Cambodia, a former colony of France. So the Spanish greeting could represent the Philippines since due to the known fact that everything after Cambodia towards the final leg has been spoiled. And the unknown destination after Tokyo and before Vietnam has been remained unsolved. The Philippines is the only known place to where Spanish could be a major language in Eastern Asia and due to the fact it has alot of Spanish influences. This is my only guess since no other country in Eastern Asia speaks Spanish, another possibility could be the Pacific Ocean region of Micronesia "not the country" due to the Spanish influence.

If Philippines is visited and no such clues popped up... I don't know what to say, Filipinos love TAR, as by TARA applications, AXN has said (I think) that most auditions come from the Philippines...
I sure hope so they go to the Philippines!

I agree with mjriches about what is called the Spanish East Indies to describe Spanish territories in Asia-Pacific which lasted over three centuries (1565 to 1899). It encompassed the Philippine Islands (Las Islas Filipinas), and its dependencies including the Mariana Islands and the Caroline Islands, and for a period of time, parts of Formosa (Taiwan), Sabah, and parts of the Moluccas. It also included Guam, where Spanish is still a major language.
Now, I would say that this might be a hint about where a leg after Japan was going since there are no other current Spanish speaking countries outside the Western Hemisphere except Spain, the Balearic and Canary Islands controlled by Spain and Ceuta and Melilla (Spanish city-states on the Moroccan side of the Straits of Gilbraltar that I tend to forget about - and you do too, admit it).
The inclusion of Allez and of Cambodia, a French colony until 1953, makes it likely that those languages shown are indeed markers of where the race went. This has altered my thinking to the extent that vamanos could be telling us that a Sapnish language country was included in AR15. it could also be an instance of misdirection, but I don't think so. I think the meaning of this is that the Philippines was the missing second leg. We'll see no later than October 4.

If the Philippines is indeed a destination, I don't get it why no one blogged or posted about it. :duno: (considering the Philippines is loves TAR) No media whatsoever... and something "Spanish" in the Philippines could be the Ilocos Region, which has houses still related to the Spanish Era...
