Indonesia is too unstable, anyone heard of the Bali bombings and the Jakata hotel bombings? There are a lot of people who suggest Indonesia but just can't see how they can do it in the current climate.

Last time I checked, the Bali bombing took place in 2005 and the Jakarta hotel bombing took place last July in 2009. Since then, no bombings since those. Indonesia is not a unstable country, they are improving their security and making it more safer for tourists and locals.

For those speculating in the Sightings thread about Nueva Germania. The original blog made a reference in Spanish to "Alemania," so the reference was definitely to Germany and not to some German area of South America.
Paron:
Aw, I really wish we had more sightings to report. It'd be easier to see who was really in or out at a certain point.

Indonesia is NOT currently on the US State Dept list of travel warnings and alerts: (But Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar are...)

Oh, TAR can do TBCs any time they want. I just can't see them doing one that has a flight in the middle of the leg, as that can post a problem for the production and Phil's filming schedule.

TAR 9 TBC leg did in fact involve an international flight mid-leg. Teams had to fly out of Moscow (Red Square) to Germany and rach the BMW test track. True, it was the longest leg in TAR history in both distance and duration, but nonetheless TPTB did it.
