TAR 35 (formerly called 36): Bitch, Moan & Squeal Here! *POSSIBLE SPOILERS!*
Malcooolm:
Let me preface this by saying I am NOT trying to be a whiner and I am just happy to have the race back. Buuuuuut seeing the first three countries visited be Thailand, Vietnam, and India is just a little :groan: to me! They seem like the basic countries (in addition to China and Japan) that TAR alwaaaays seem to hit when they go to Asia. I understand that there are still plenty of travel restrictions and such and that it’s still a miracle we can have the race going on but I’d love to see something a little fresher

I'm actually very happy for India to be on this season especially with a Jaipur visit, a city that hasn't been visited by the US since season 14.
I'm guessing we have something around:
Leg 1 - Bangkok, Thailand (June 15th)
Leg 2 - Thailand (June 17th)
Leg 3 - Cần Thơ, Vietnam (June 19th)
Leg 4 - Vietnam (June 19th/20th)
Leg 5 - Jaipur, India (June 22nd)
I wonder if India will be only for one leg or two. I'm leaning toward two, but that would be six legs in Asia. I will say I am a little annoyed by that, but I guess that makes up for 33 - 35.

Agreed. Very glad that TAR is back to pre-Covid standards but it’s disappointing when we know that such cool and interesting countries were lined up for 33 and 35 that got canceled last minute.

You know, I do wanna bitch a little. I think my standards are too high for this route. If that 2nd Thailand leg is not rural and just another leg in Bangkok, I will be disappointed. I'm also very annoyed at two legs in Vietnam especially if leg 4 is in Ho Chi Minh City due to having two legs in 31 that were kinda whatever imo. I really don't want to have half the race be in Asia especially South and Southeast Asia. 32's India legs were fine, so I have faith that India will be okay.
I just hope we get something very good like Mauritius, Kenya, or South Africa next. I hope this season doesn't get more than three legs in Europe, two would be best. I hope that they visit the Balkans, Nordic, and/or Ireland.

5 legs in Asia coming off of 2 Eurocentric and 1 LATAM centric route is not the most appealing. Hopefully we get non-Eurasian locations.
