Caelestor:
Could we be in for another TAR 2 route then?
I take back anything I said earlier. We're probably going to be in for Asia, Australia, Africa, MAYBE eastern Europe (unlikely). South America may be back in the ring so that teams can get to Africa (an eastward route seems more likely now).

I agree with no India this season (this warning has been in place for the last two cycles and has prevented a return to that country), but I think Sri Lanka and the Philippines are feasible. The travel warnings are for certain provinces, not the whole country.
inomu:
USA's travel warnings are little overprotective. In their standards India is always dangerous country because there is always something happening but in some spesific areas not everywhere. Also Israel is perfectly safe I was just there in March visiting in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. And last summer I visited in Georgia (btw amazing country and very European). In Mexico there is always some drug wars going on, it's probably on the list because some rebels killed those Finnish and Mexican human rights workers in April. I love also how on the website they make my home country sound more interesting than it real is, like: Elements of organized crime groups operating in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe are present in Finland. B:)
But lets stay in topic
East: Madrid or anywhere in Spain! (and hopefully in late-June or July because I'm going to be there then :jumpy:)
West: South Korea because it's less visited country in that direction.
Sandra1991:
I would love if they came to Lisbon, because I study there, so I'd have hopes to run into some of the teams while using public transportation! LOL
However, since this is not a "wishing" topic, I think they will start with either Australia or New Zealand :)
