Hi, I'm from Hong Kong and this is my first post. I think the dragons are from Hong Kong instead of Vietnam. The place is the harbour front of the Cultural Centre. I have searched some information about this picture. It is the opening ceremony about the fire safety campagine 2006 - 2007 which is held on 10 Dec. You can see the arch in the picture has some chinese words. It is "家居防火靠你我" which means the "preventing fire at home depends on you and me". And there are buildings behind. The tallest one in the picture looks like the Central Plaza.
I was shocked when I saw that scene.
Ok, it's 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui (here (http://www.centamap.com/gc/centamaptogoogle.aspx?x=835601&y=817269&sx=835601.54203&sy=817269.31339&z=2&brtype=1)), on the other side of the harbor from Shau Kei Wan. Looks like the racers might need an octopus card after all :lol:.
And here (http://www.housingauthority.gov.hk/en/aboutus/resources/archivepublications/housingdimension/0,,5-0-15775,00.html) is a confirmation of the Dec 10 date Schwarzmoor mentioned (next to last entry).
:happy: episode title!Probably Cha's. It sounds like something they would say.
I wonder who says it ???
It looks like everything will be on time for this week! (the press release and the phils preview!)
Shau Kei Wan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shau_Kei_Wan) is just a little northwest of Siu Sai Wan; it's another residential area with shopping areas, a fish market, docks, and some more hiking trails. (kmz attached)
Here is the hau Kei Wan Government Secondary School in Hong Kong. It's kind of close to the other one by the stadium.
Charla and Mirna are still in only cus of that HUGE lead they got around 2 eps back and ED are seeming to self destruct.
CSSVT this (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,8579.0.html) is where you can find the Hawaii/leg info and welcome to the forum :yaya:
Good point good point. The airlines have really been worse for teams this season it seems. Either way, next leg is almost obviously a Non Elim and if you ask me C/M are the next to go and my final order is Beauties, ED and Chas
The reason the Road to Hana leg would be so intreguing is this: if you arrive in the middle of the afternoon theres a LOT of traffic. I drove it at the end of my spring break, getting on it at 3 PM and arriving in Hana around 6. Left Hana around 6 30 and got in around 8. There's a LOT more traffic in the morning/afternoon.
Another possibility with this location is a detour, take a boat of some sort to get back to the "civilized" area of the island or drive back. with the winding road it's probaby a good 15-20 extra miles on the road than just following the edge of the Island.
I'm glad with the way C/M and D/K are running the race. While they might not be getting along, we finally have TWO F/F teams who are both capable of winning.
Nope, they yielded E/D
WEB CLUES ARE UP!
he he ... trying to get D/K out of the race...not going to work...same thing happened last season..
The last one is interesting, kung-fu warriors?!
but I just woke up
The preview looks awesome.
It looks like the episode title is courtesy of Mirna during the kung fu task.

As a Hong Kong local, I try to help as much as I can...(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/ep10/00274-9-2007.jpg)
Just find this place on this page http://www.pbasehk.com/Macy/Macy2232/DSC00505 , note that the phone number matches! This restaurant is at 120 ,NGA TSIN WAI ROAD, Kowloon City, you can find the exact location from http://www.ypmap.com/en/viewer.asp?mapService=LocationMap
I know this is just some random photo, but since this place is also near Kai Tak where Neobie suggests for the location of the car thing, it is highly possible that the place of that task is at Kai Tak.

It looks like Eric is climbing at night,
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/ep10/00264-9-2007.jpg)
Can someone please post the web as a video on here?
It looks like Eric is climbing at night,
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/ep10/00264-9-2007.jpg)
To me it looks like the sun reflecting off the building, thus it is not at night.
I meant to mention this last night.....in Phil's explanation of the YIELD, he specified there are "2 opportunities" throughout the race to use a YIELD. I took that to mean there are only 2 Yields through the race so does that mean there are no more Yields? Wasn't this the second Yield to show up on the race?
gman, i don't think that ended up being a FF after all, it didn't look like it anyways..
Due to D/K sighting in Shau Kei Wan, I think that the Kung Fu detour is located there, maybe near the Shau Kei Wan Government School mentioned by another poster months ago.
(http://mud.mm-a3.yimg.com/image/2752906477)
It looks like this is the background where you can see Kandice climb up the building, but I don't know the exact location of this place yet.
I'll include some Chinese signs later, but here's two I can decipher :lol: : Swindon Book Co. is at 13 Lock road, not far from the Star ferry; and "Kiss My Kids" (frame is flipped for some reason) is an educational toy store that, according to this blog (http://www.travelpod.com/travel-photo/rbisset/rtw05-06/1127102400/100_0472xsized.jpg/tpod.html), is on Nathan road. The HK yellow pages lists the address as "Shun Lee Disciplined Serv Qtrs Coml Shopping Arc, Kwun Tong," whatever that means.
I don't think there would be a NEL before a TBC because the penalty would be so drawn out then...so it's probably going to be
TBC
NEL
ELIM
:welcome2: annielhy! We are glad you are here!
I take it you are in Hong Kong too? You guys are doing great!
Have a look around this thread --we have a lot of the street addresses posted. Is Milan station a subway stop?
I'm working on a list of what we still need to figure out--so we can for sure use your help! Stick around! :waves:
FLIGHTS TO HONG KONG
Teams arrived at the Kuala Lumpur pitstop between about 2pm and 5pm on Dec. 10. I assume that they will be released 12 hours later and have the chioce of the earliest flights from KL to HK:
CI654 departs KUL 0750 arrives HKG 1155
MH72 departs KUL 0915 arrives HKG 1300
CX720 departs KUL 0935 arrives HKG 1330
There is also a CX flight at 1755 and a MH flight at 1845 if it happens to be a 24 hour extended pitstop. Each takes about 3 3/4 hours.
Also, they HAVE to go to one of the following places to go to Macau
1. Sheung Wan (Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Pier, by TurboJET or helicopter)
2. Tsim Sha Tsui (Hong Kong China Ferry Terminal, by Ferry)
We know the teams have to go to Macau, and we have them returning on the morning of the 14th with Phil on the Ferry.
Annielhy says:QuoteAlso, they HAVE to go to one of the following places to go to Macau

2. Tsim Sha Tsui (Hong Kong China Ferry Terminal, by Ferry)
Is this why they are at the Cultural Centre? What times are the ferries? How much does it cost? Did anyone see anything? Can someone see if there was a filming permit for the ferries?
:hearts: thanks annielhy--you are one step ahead of me! The MTR info helps a lot because I hope the next promo will show some transport shots.That is "Central". Those buildings are Hong Kong landmark buildings. I doubt they went to there, unless they took cross harbour ferry (Star ferry, a must in Hong Kong) from Cultural Centre to "Central".
We did know about the Octopus card somewhere in here but nice to see how it can be used!
Can you check the link at the Cultural Centre above, and also tell us if the location in front of the Ritz is near anything else we have found? I'm thinking that will be either a cluebox or the Mat...

hm...if the car thing is in Malaysia i don't see how it can fit in!
It makes sense if it's in Malaysia though, because Danny is wearing clothes that you would wear in a hot country, and wouldn't it be cooler in Hong Kong at that time of year?
i'm confused :groan:
On the weather in Hong Kong, if it helps any: there was a miserable drizzle for three days, three days of rain in a month otherwise free from any precipitation! Poor racers...
Temperatures varied wildly those few days, going up as high as the 26°C range and as low as 12°C in a single day, if I remember correctly.
(Still can't believe I missed them after getting Izad's Malaysia spoiler, hearing rumours about them heading to Hong Kong, sending a friend off at the airport the very day they arrived, and taking the hydrofoil to Macau three days later! There is a God, and he probably hates me... :'()
CAR/Detour is in Shau Kei Wan, Hong Kong old Kai Tak airport

Michael the CAR/Detour is in Shau Kei Wan, Hong Kong old Kai Tak airport not Malaysia
Other Detour!
*Teams get a kick out of their next destination when they're challenges to break down doors and fight off Kung Fu warriors.
and as far as a fast forward this leg, there can't be one because of the TBC.
CAR is in Hong Kong old Kai Tak airport ("Kowloon City", Kowloon)OK I'm going back to sleep :lol: , no idea why I thought the airport was in Shau Kei Wan.

HONG KONG NEXT SIGHTING
I have received information that Oswald and Danny and Dustin and Kandice have been spotted in Hong Kong. There was no mention of any other teams.
Any racer is dumb to go to travel agent in a building.Were you talking about Malaysia? D/O found a travel agent inside the Lucky building in Season 2 and saved a lot of time on the trip to Australia. :plane:
At first I thought teams were using the Star ferry and just happened to catch the fire safety program mentioned by schwarzmoor. But now we have proof that they wander around Tsim Sha Tsui doing...something.Quote from: annielhyAny racer is dumb to go to travel agent in a building.Were you talking about Malaysia?

OK, I have something need your guys to sort out, as we (Hong Kong TAR fans) are sorting another strange problem.
For you guys:
Why the heck the promo has NO NIGHT LIFE in Hong Kong???
Hong Kong's nickname is "Eastern Pearl". It's because Hong Kong's nightlife!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v700/annielhy/easternpearl.jpg)
For us (Hong Kong TAR fans):
The direction of the following pic is strange.
It is not towards Cultural Centre, not from Cultural Centre to MTR station, not to/from Bus Stop.
Possible towards Hong Kong China Pier, Possibles ....... (we are discussing)
annielhy--look here where Slowhatch has Id'd the toy store. He says that the picture is "flipped" though, maybe so the map fits in?Yep, it is flipped. The walking direction is still strange.
Does it match up with a "Kiss my Kids" location?Haiphong Rd matched
D/O are looking closely for something...a name or address number or TAR flag maybe. I think they're close to the task spot.
annie do you or your friends recognize this elevator?
annie do you or your friends recognize this elevator?
Still check

I need to sleep. It's 2am in HK
Yeah but you know Mirna! She's clearly good at airports so she could turn up anywhere. And since we don't know where or when D/O and the BQ's were seen, it doesn't help a lot in pinpointing a time or a task--it could have been anywhere. Unless you know more about your spoiler that you can share?
I just saw your request for EP11 Macau, peach ..there you go although I'd love to figure out this leg first, lol.
Maybe we had better wait! What if Leg 11 is part 2 Hong Kong?
HONG KONG NEXT SIGHTING
I have received information that Oswald and Danny and Dustin and Kandice have been spotted in Hong Kong. There was no mention of any other teams.
I do think that we have a screenshot of D/O waving a ticket so I do believe they got a flight, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the BQ's all the way!
Do you guys think this will be a NEL, and then there would be the TBC leg of Macau and Guam? This makes sense to me...
I keep searching for things along the lines of Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation - Elevators , but i'm getting nothing!Well only someone thats been in one of those glass elevators would know for sure, lol. Maybe they just go up there for a clue?
puddin--I think that "Central" area in front of the glass building is in front of the Ritz--I'm checking there...It is peach ..and there are plenty of glass elevators in Cental Hong Kong :lol3:. We really need someone thats been there and done that.
I think the D/O confessional was taken out of context, because in D/O mat chat they say they think E/D follow to much...That picture of E/D scares me ... it's like Danielle wants to kick my ass for liking the yield queens.You "think?" :CnJ:
"Pirate Hookers??? Eric couldn't be more wrong! Well... for the most part ;) jk I'm loving our Beauties taking first place on this leg, but i was a bit suprised to see them use the yield again. I know it is part of their strategy, but i would think after yielding Bama in our season only to end up last in that leg, that they would have been a little discouraged. My opinion of the yield is, it only fires up the competition and create more enemies, and rarely actually is the main reason a team is eliminated. But, all in all, they are staying true to their way of running the race and I think it's safe to say they are the STRONGEST all Female team on TAR ever!!! I HATE Mirna & Shmirna! could you imagine if they had been on our season? i think we would have all worked together to get them off on the first leg. THEY are the most selfish, ignorant team ever and I'm really hoping that i get to see Kandice b*&%h slap Charla in the episodes to come."
Word has it that one of the BQ's slept with James during TAR10 ;)
Charla /Mirna = entertainment gold! you can't pay for that kind of entertainment, lol.
For the elevator, I think it is very difficult to know the exact location, maybe it is just the elevator in KL airport? If it is actually the elevator of HSBC, I may go there to have a look tonight since it is just outside my office!!

Don't worry. I am working in Causeway Bay.
Give me a day to take photos.
Just return from Time Square
NO.............
Not Time Square
Can everyone have a look on "IFC Tower 2" (Central) and "Central Tower" (Wan Chai. Last time TAR in Hong Kong went there.)
What about a repeat of the TAR2 clue, of going up the tallest building in Hong Kong?I am thinking about the same thing!!!!!!!
The thing is, the IFC 2 has overtaken Central Plaza since a couple of years back, so this could definitely lead to a couple of Mary/Peach Central Plaza/Centre Building mistakes... :lol3: I've seen documentaries being filmed on the rooftop of the IFC before.
Not that Dustin/Kandice's lift looks anything like the one that goes up the IFC tower; if anything it's the IFC mall, which... doesn't make sense either... ???
Heres a few .. :js:
Cool Elevator at Airport, Hong Kong

Would it be a match?
I am trying to work out the place for bamboo climbing detour. I start by looking the public estates in Sau Kei Wan and Kowloon City but there is no luck for me to find the match. Would guys from HK help me to locate?
Shorter building looks like a school to me... Will search around the area! (Not Shaukeiwan Government Secondary School though, it's really out of the way! What are D/K doing there?)Neobie, this is the info sunkid passed on, he had his "wan's" mixed up or so it seems?
The landforms around Shaukeiwan Government PRIMARY School look much better though!
It might help using this map engine (http://www.centamap.com/gc/home.aspx).
Dustin and Kandice were spotted in Siu Sai Wan, Hong Kong (outside a school). They were holding a yellow clue (from my friend). I think it is a detour.
Well... This is how my friend's school looks like: (http://xb2.xanga.com/e27d0a4038330104247940/b73638634.jpg)
the school's web site: http://www.sgss.edu.hk/
oh, yeah, it was still a good job!
I loved the Kuwait and Train spoilers we got from TAR10 for some reason, I remember they got me really excited about TAR again..I wasn't really that into TAR9 after MOJO got eliminated :(
OK, back to something remotely on topic!!
In the preview you saw of Charla kicking down the door was Mirna any where to be seen? If not then that is more then likely the road block! I just assumed that since climbing a bamboo wall and then kicking down a door all kung fu like all seems like the same thing, it was one detour option! Maybe not..

I think this is not going to be a TBC leg cause werent Oswald and Danny spotted in Guam? So it wouldnt make any sense to do this TBC leg and have it be a NEL, cause after Hong Kong, teams would got o Macau, and that would be the NEL pitstop before guam... Its just what I think....

But why would they make a TBC leg a NEL leg? That would not be cool. But you might be right.

Many of the students and teachers came from Phoenix International School after it closed on July 7, 2006.

That is here--is that nearby the police station??Is that from sunkid? then it is the same!QuoteWhere is the school located?.

I think this is the same!Wish Chateau was here, not that I don't need him all the time :luvu:
I think since we see both C/M wearing climbing gear, we can say that one of the detours is the bamboo climb, and the other detour will proably be the race car, since D/O already took the FF, and I doubt they'd have a FF on a TBC leg.
No puddin--I wondered why you got that Austalian school--that is it's address---I don't think that is in the same place but I don't know?Oh I was confused, lol :lol:
Haven't heard back from sun7kid yet...

But we know, as David & Mary said, that they can now used the Fast Forward twice. (Madagascar Leg, Season 10)
In this case however. it is just the reverse IF there is a FF.
D/O took it via an Intersection with U/J
Now they CAN do it alone

mswood - there's a shot of Eric climbing the bamboo wall, and to me the sky looks like it's getting darker from when C/M and D/K are doing it.Thanks Micheal I forgot about that shot. But I was sure there wasn't a fast forward anyway (because I think both have already been in episodes).
Just ask.
Since we have a sight spoiler with BQ in Shau Kee Wan. Could BQ go to wrong place??
Well... This is how my friend's school looks like: (http://xb2.xanga.com/e27d0a4038330104247940/b73638634.jpg)

NO it was schwarzmoor and friends lead :jam:
Thanks.Just ask.

Hi annie!
You are a Detective now! :wohoo:
That spoiler originally came from sun7kid--he first said that he thought it was Siu Sei WAn then "Sorry if I have been confused... Maybe it is not siu sai wan, maybe chai wan? somewhere with name in 'wan' in hong kong" and then he sent us that picture of the school a couple of pages back. I have sent him an email today to see if he can come back and help...Well... This is how my friend's school looks like:
LOL, all I see is "wans" everywhere :'(
I wonder if there is NO TBC episode, just more NEL legs then we usually have, and that's what the producers comments in that interview were referring too..
A production assistant blog here (http://nischan.multiply.com/photos/album/42). According to this site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chow_Kit), Chow Kit is the red light/drug district. :rules:

YAY Kogs is back :ninja :hearts:
Well you all are convincing me that this maybe be a NEL with the TBC from Macau to Guam but still we have that sighting in Macau (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,8579.0.html) of Phil on the ferry with the Chas ..heading back to HK<< whats up with that? Can anyone think of a scenario that would put them together in the ferry? and the Cha's were being filmed.
serendipity thank you for taking the time to visit the mall for the elevator pictures...but I'm still not convinced that its not the same elevator ???
Sun or floating stars behind Eric? Why is there light on the buiding if its not the sun? No idea if thats good or bad for Eric? lolI think these pictures were made with a small aperture, curved wid-angle lens. Because this lens, we are getting non-traditional shadows, reflections, etc. Look how distorted Mirna looks with this lens.
One thing that makes me lean towards it not being the sun is that in all the shots we've seen so far in the episode (including D/O race car shot) it was cloudy.Your just afraid EDEE are ahead of the BQ's :lol:

Using a date filter I was able to find the red building, more confirmation for Neobie and Serendipity (source page (http://www.flickr.com/photos/laihiu/337815458/in/set-72157594448298248)). It's a little fuzzy, but I think you can see the cranes on the right side.Another YIPPEE :jumpy:
Thats why I was asking peach because in the elevator scene it looks dark outside unless of course I'm seeing things that aren't there?
The teams arrive at night in HK right?

Yes puddin, the taxi is surely in HK
Someone mentioned that up thread but we never looked for the KL elevator and yeah it does look the same but then we have the hair thing, lol but it could also be said that Mirnas hair changes too? a pony tail is a pony tail.Thats why I was asking peach because in the elevator scene it looks dark outside unless of course I'm seeing things that aren't there?
I'm going to have to laugh if that elevator is in the Kuala Lumpur airport:
The teams arrive at night in HK right?
Wait--why do we think they arrive in HK at night??
Apskip gave us this upstream:QuoteFLIGHTS TO HONG KONG
Teams arrived at the Kuala Lumpur pitstop between about 2pm and 5pm on Dec. 10. I assume that they will be released 12 hours later and have the chioce of the earliest flights from KL to HK:
CI654 departs KUL 0750 arrives HKG 1155
MH72 departs KUL 0915 arrives HKG 1300
CX720 departs KUL 0935 arrives HKG 1330
There is also a CX flight at 1755 and a MH flight at 1845 if it happens to be a 24 hour extended pitstop. Each takes about 3 3/4 hours.
Maybe that first pic is them leaving for the KL airport in the early AM darkness but the next one is in a taxi in HK in daylight...
Unless it is another 24 hour Pitstop in KL then all bets are off.

Well teams have been near on on the same transport (plane) as the producers before. Usually when either a team is way a head or way behind.
If that was the first part of a leg, then I would asume the CHa's were the last tieam and they went to Hong Kong airport on the same Ferry.
If it was the end of a leg, then I would assume it that the Cha's were way out in front and Phil was rushing to beat tehm to the mat.
I have no idea about down time, if Phil ever spends anytime with the racers, but if it an extended Pit Stop it could be just the extra down time were both producers and teams would be abe to go out and have some fun. And we know that even during this time teams have both camera and sound guys recording them.
makz we have (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,8579.msg172594.html#msg172594) a spoiler there that puts the Cha's in Guam doing a task and here (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,11246.msg183479.html#msg183479) is U/J's interview that you speak of.
Earlier in the week I read an interview of Uchenna & Joyce and one of them said they were with the Producers till the end of the race. They were "in sequester" with them. Maybe D/o were being moved with production since production goes where the racers go.
Sorry, I don't remember were I read the interview. It may have been here or on the 1st pg of TAR Spoilers at Jokers. I don't have time to look for it now. I've spent the morning reading several pages of messages to find out if anyone else brought this up about "sequester" with producers. When I got to the last page of this thread I realized no one else had brought this up.
And it is a kind of sequester in that the teams stay with the race in order to be decoy teams later on. I will say that from everything I had read before, I had only heard of the fourth team out staying on for decoy--does anyone else remember them using the 5th team out as well?The BQ's & Cho's were seen running in NY looking for the anchor that we saw in the final leg of TAR10. Thats one example.

Ok it would make sense if those elevator shots of the BQ's were in Kuala Lumpur, since they arrived at the pitstop during bright daylight.ditto, I think they look like the pictures peach posted of the KL airport elevators :tup:, then the taxi's in the daylight are HK so unless its some weird editing C/M & the BQ's arrive on the same flight to HK.
"Spotted in Hong Kong" But doesn't say together...:umn: Curses foiled again :lol: What are the odds though? apskips had no further details? So the same person saw the Cha's & BQ's at 2 different locations? OR a friend of a friend , 2 different people saw the BQ's somewhere in HK and the Cha's somewhere in HK? OR they were together? time will tell..2 days! YAY!!
Kick the door down!Where do we see Charla kicking down a door? I just looked at both previews and must be missing it somewhere.
Charla (damn she actually kicked the door in!)
If the road block is the Kung Fu door kick thing where does the restaurant fit in?
As a Hong Kong local, I try to help as much as I can...(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/ep10/00274-9-2007.jpg)
Just find this place on this page http://www.pbasehk.com/Macy/Macy2232/DSC00505 , note that the phone number matches! This restaurant is at 120 ,NGA TSIN WAI ROAD, Kowloon City, you can find the exact location from http://www.ypmap.com/en/viewer.asp?mapService=LocationMap
I know this is just some random photo, but since this place is also near Kai Tak where Neobie suggests for the location of the car thing, it is highly possible that the place of that task is at Kai Tak.(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/ep10/00304-9-2007.jpg)[IMG]
haha, I also find this place from here http://hk.yp.yahoo.com/cobrand/listing.html?c=714&b=540&r=0&d=0 , the name of that shop is #543, and it is at the same street as that restaurant, in fact just next to it: 122 Nga Tsin Wai Rd, Kowloon City! :happy:
I can't believe I can beat Neobie to get this information first! :bunny
Good stuff Serendipity! :hearts:! Time for a grosse food Roadblock?
eta: perfect match Serendipity!
And WHERE is Phil's preview--does he think he can take a week off just because it is TBC/NEL?!
Okay--help please.
I'm missing some things.QuoteKick the door down!Where do we see Charla kicking down a door? I just looked at both previews and must be missing it somewhere.

Happy 100! Hakushu8!
:conf: :cheer: :conf: :cheer: :conf:
Charla/Mirna look like they're running down the ramp to the bus terminal, could they have found something that connects faster by bus? (The Airport Express may be too expensive for some teams: Oswald/Danny if they don't give out too much cash this leg.)
We aren't sure when those taxis are Michael...

The elevated area in the upper right of the picture reminds me of a monorail. Does the HK airport have a monorail?
"we're still in it"Where was that confessional from Michael?
So your basing your guess that Eric & Dee come in last because of some dubbed " we're not out of this yet"? Don't you know TPTB can insert dubbed voiceovers when and wherever they want? Just ask Wally Bransen..
Please stop trying to twist everything to make the BQ's come in first in every leg.

I wised up and started recording from my bathroom VCR, its the only room in my house with decent cable.
Picture me climbing up on my toilet then onto my sink to reach the shelf :lol3:! and you all think Charla is short.
This shot was taken here (you already knew that) between 11:35 am and 12:07 pm (assumes December 11,12,13 ish). What is the date anyway?We think its Dec 12th :bow:
It must have been largely overcast. Not much shadows in this clip. I used the sun's reflection off a distant building (some kind of transportation center) since it is the only bright thing back there. Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection. The solar altitude angle of around 45 degrees from the highest sandbag is consistent with this time.
On the weather in Hong Kong, if it helps any: there was a miserable drizzle for three days, three days of rain in a month otherwise free from any precipitation! Poor racers...
Temperatures varied wildly those few days, going up as high as the 26°C range and as low as 12°C in a single day, if I remember correctly.
from neobie upstream--those temps are 53-79 F
Has anybody identified the Chinese symbol that Kandice is carrying?
Has anybody identified the Chinese symbol that Kandice is carrying?
This shot was taken between 8:30 and 9:30 am (assumes December 12th)I bet you do ,lol :snicker:
The sun has been mostly clouded out so I think it is later than E&D's climb.
I ball-parked a solar altitude of 25 deg using the general luminance of Kandice's butt. It's a rather uncertain call, I just wish I had a better view. :angel:
And this one of the Chas is essentially the same time as D&E

No leads on the umbrella, just advertising for a local pharmacy chain...
The lack of buildings in the background makes me think it's either on the coast or on a rooftop. (Come on, there are high-rises EVERYWHERE in Hong Kong.) To my knowledge, rooftops in Hong Kong make use mostly of parapets, not railings or fences. So... on the harbour somewhere? Kai Tak?
Plus... After rotating, shearing and flipping, 'fook' for 'fortune'?

LOL, oh yeah my bad...sorry I just woke up.Thats most likely if they are that far behind.
in one of the pictures from the web promo we see C/M and E/D standing beside a ticket agent, and I'm pretty sure we see D/K bag. Since D/O are so far behind at the detour maybe D/O miss the flight, and the three other teams get on?
Either way...we will know tonight :jumpy:

with the times we have, even though I know leads can be easily lost in this game, I have a feeling E/D will finally come in first! If they get first twice that will make all members of the F3 have 2 first place finishes!Well if spoilers hold, most likely the team in the Final three with teh best placement average will come in 2cd (which is or was a curse until last year when Tyler & James broke it).
the solo eric confessional kind of reminds me of the place that C/M and D/K gave confessionals at the malaysian pitstop.
see, the white poles kind of match..

When one thinks of a rest stop hotel in HK, the first place that comes to mind is The Peninsula Hotel. The symbol of opulence and luxury. The potted palms behind Eric kinda look like thay could be at The Peninsula. :angel:I was thinking the pitstop would be Macau/o :groan: and had no luck there either.

Puddin-And Eric/Dees conf looks like night so if the tasks in HK start early whether Hours of operation whatever .. 8am or so Detour, then assuming the RB comes later there is still plenty of daylight how long could it take? Theres still that chance that they get an envelope to keep racing? I guess we'll know SOON !!
Your 2nd and 3rd pics with the BQ's in pink and the one with E/D in a living room are without a doubt for sure at the Carcosa in KL--I have tons of pics from there.
But the solo Eric one I believe to be from somewhere else--either HK or Macao?? I can't match the room in that pic to the Carcosa at all.
Phil isn't always there to hand them the clue to keep racing, they have used the internet in the past but say for instance Season9, Russia, Phil was there to hand of over the clue to keep racing so who the heck knows ..at least we have some surprises this leg :jumpy:
With the possability of Macau being an TBC leg to Guam, we wouldn't have any confessional there. It would also explainwhy Phil might be on the same ferry as a team if they were the last to get the clu eto keep going.
Will find out shortly.
I think UJ being eliminated rather than being non eliminated screwed them up and this was going to be a TBC to Macao and now it will be changed to a Non Elimination becuase.... ifs it is a TBC it will end in Macao as a Non Elimination and they have never done that, its kind of stupid. It could be still be a TBC but i think everything was moved back with UJ being eliminated early!We don't know 100% certain if that was the case? Afterall there are lawyers running with production to make sure things go as planned. They can't randomly make NEL's or TBC's from what I've read and heard the racers say.

No Puddin! There were 2 police places! We were absolutely right about the police place at 5 Tonkin street !:groan: I give up :lol:
So the rung shadows I was looking at were caused by artificial lighting! :groan::jam: You still rock my world Chateau :bow: :crown !!
I should have watched the video. I just used the stills. Maybe it would have been more clear what the arrangement was. A little voice was telling me that those projections looked too horizontal, as in not possible by the sun. I had convinced myself that is was sunlight thanks to the shadow on the roof thing. That was probably just a light too.
Chateau--thank you for another great job!
But one concern--(two really)
Is there ANY possibility that the low angle of sun in Eric's shot could be late afternoon instead of early morning??
And would it matter if the shots you were using had been "flipped"??
It is possible that all of the teams are climbing on the other arm of the "U"--but this shot would also make sense if it had been flipped. Would that screw up your time shots? ???
No Puddin! There were 2 police places! We were absolutely right about the police place at 5 Tonkin street !
Not till Guam...
Former Kennedy Town Police Quarters
- 14-18 Ka Wai Man Road, Kennedy Town
Characteristics: Former Kennedy Town Police Quarters are made up of 3 blocks. Each block is 12 storeys high but they look a little different in height since they are built at different levels of a slope. There are 2 footbridges connecting Blocks A and B while Block C stands alone. The view of block B is very open with a great sea view while the other blocks benefit from the green surroundings. The place is far from the main road and is very quiet. The outlook looks very much like that of a large-scale hospital.
Oh, I just watched the Hong Kong clips, haha really amazing me, haha.
We had many cameras there to shot this, (four cameras on the car, one camera underleaf the jumping stage, one one power-pod (me), another three cameras around the field, and the main following camera) of course it is a one shot deal, I also don't think that Danny and Oswald want to try a second take.
I saw them were very worry before the roll-over. They considered for a long time before they get on the stunt car. @_@
Thanks Amazing Race!
Yours,
Julian
Just a friend from China send me this link, he said he found a forum have my picture, haha. then I come here.....@_@
This time I just shoot in HK. They did ask me to shoot in Macau, but I have another job in HK on that day, so I cannot make it.
I also want to travel all over, I think it should be more funny.

The Stunt Driver, Bruce Law and his company, is the Top in HK, also famous in worldwide.Just for reference, the same company, Bruce Law Stunt Unlimited, also prepared the Kung Fu task on Tonkin street. They might have arranged the door task in Kennedy town as well, but I can't find any caps to prove it.
I was trying to pin down the timing of Mirna's "Yield Queens" comment. We would have seen that on December 3rd.
Is there an insider video that reveals when the teams got to see TAR10?
It looks like we watched the finale as the racers lounged around in a 36 hour pit stop in KL. Maybe KL television showed it that evening in KL. That would have been about 32 hours into their 36-hour pit stop.
