"You're Like Jason Bourne, Right?" (Malaysia) — Teams find that luck doesn't pick sides in a sweat-drenched test of endurance where they must choose to face a 153-step climb or take a 35-foot-high lesson in Chingay, on THE AMAZING RACE, Sunday, April 4 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Hey all. I can share this with you all if it matters much at all. Being from the Penang island myself, there isn't that many tall buildings around to do a 153-step climb up. One I suspect is the one that's called KOMTAR, Penang's tallest building and 6th tallest in Malaysia. The building itself is a 65-storey tower, and I would think the detour requires a climb up the building and some other "chores" as well.
Besides, the chingay field and KOMTAR is just about 5 minutes apart by car.

I found a reference to 152 steps at the Ban Hood Pagoda.

It needs to be close to Padang Kota Lama (flag field), right? Only a couple of structures I see nearby--the Jubilee clock tower and the fort lighthouse--but neither look tall enough. I agree with Neobie: there must be a catch.

152 steps>> this is very interesting because this is where we have the tourist video of teams arriving and quickly leaving, as though they were at the wrong place...perhaps to get to the steps they have to go around to another side or something??
