TAR 23 Speculation and Discussion **of Spoilers**
Declive:
Would be so awesome if TAR is really in Jo'burg!!! :hearts: :hearts:
Leilani:
It's also possible that his "jet lag" isn't jet lag from traveling across several time zones as most of us think of it. He might be using it as a figure of speech or descriptive phrase for how he is feeling. It could just be that he is really tired from all the travel. While I'm sure he has a higher tolerance for it than most who don't travel as frequently, I doubt it's easy.
DrRox:
Phil has always been very precise in his twitter posting, especially when he posts while filming. He takes great pains to not "lie" to his followers. His posts are "obtuse" enough to require careful thought to decipher his meaning. I have no doubt that if Phil says he is "jet lagged," then he has crossed enough time zones to really affect his rest cycle.
If a person flies 8,10, or 12 hours, you will be fatigued when you arrive. If one was flying N/S, then you arrive in the same approximate time in the sun cycle as when you left. If you fly to the east, then you have all those hours PLUS the hours for all the time zones you fly across. So you could arrive at you destination, feeling like you have been flying 12, 14 or 16 hours, with respect to the sun cycle.
Neobie:
One of these assumptions must be false:
1. Phil says he's jet-lagged, and hence he can't be in Africa or the Middle East (all less than 2 hours difference).
2. Phil tweeting in the wee hours of South Asia, when there are no good flights except backwards, so he can't be there.
3. No one has sighted them, which means they're not in East or Southeast Asia. (Laos doesn't work flight-wise.)
Can we figure out which one is a bad assumption?
Jimmer:
I think the jet-lagged one.
