yea no kidding, the helmsman position is very hard are requires a lot of concentration and coordination. i have been on a dragon boat before. pretty cool. also, the festivals in china and taiwan are going on around this time of year so the dragon boat task makes a lot of sense.

Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duan Wi Jie in Chinese falls on June 6th this year. (2011)
They're late by just a few days but the mood is still there, with all the decorations and some after races going on.
Now I've been to Xi Men Ding but i'm not sure if the shops/crowd is there that early in the morning before 9am?? :umn:

Maybe they went to Xi Men Ting to red pavilion for a route marker?like TARA S3...since they visit Core Pacific City later,I don't think they go to any shop of Xi Men Ting.

You will realize that it's all in the same district and that travelling within the district is extremely easy with either subway or taxis.
The only problem I can see teams having trouble with is the pitstop, which the cabbies could have brought them to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, which is TAR 12's pitstop or any other memorials for other Chinese historians, which I think the city of Taipei itself has a few.
To the team who got lost: Really really bad luck. Taiwanese usually speak A LITTLE English these days. It's easier to converse to the people in Taiwan than in Hong Kong, IMHO.
&... while they're at Taipei and so near to the location, i'm quite shocked they didn't go to the Taipei Arena! :ascared
