It's very interesting that teams need to search for clues to their first destination among hundreds of umbrellas, because Taiwan is famous for umbrella production in 1960~80s. There are still lots of umbrellas made in Taiwan now.
Wanpei? ???
:'( Wehhh. I can't see the promos.

oh, really?? which?
I was looking at the Core Pacific City Living Mall on Google Earth and found some good pictures of the exterior and interior of the Mall. It's a very striking building. I thought I'd post them here to give us a better feel for the place. Also the interior pictures give a little more of a feel for how high the bungee jump might be. It looks like it could be 6 or 7 stories.

It doesn't look like an italian sportscar. Maybe a Mustang? It's a branch of Ford and if it is part of a task it could continue the tradition of product placement.
On escalators in Taiwan, people generally stand on the left side to clear a path for people who are in a hurry to walk. Our racers should find this helpful. :tup:

People usually stand on the right side, and people in a hurry could use the left-side path to walk. You might get the direction wrong. :) However, this only happens in Taipei, especially in MRT system in Taipei.
It is Justin and Jennifer!
I don't think it's J/J, because their scene was in Gambir station, Jakarta (leg 2)
The missing passport happened in leg 1, right? :duno:

Can't wait for the premiere!!!
I still remember how excited I was when I saw teams running out from the airport!
What I regret the most is that I didn't have a chance to take a picture with Phil, but I got some good pictures of Phil though.

Here's that bungee jumping in a building thing.

Roadblock?
1. It's a contestant hobby2. It's a reward for winning the first leg
3. It's a route info task
4. It's a Hazard task
Drifting is refers to a driving technique and to a motorsport where the driver intentionally over steers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels through turns, while maintaining vehicle control and a high exit speed. A car is drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle prior to the corner apex, and the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa), and the driver is controlling these factors. As a motor sport, professional drifting competitions are held worldwide.Video:

Roadblock?
Or maybe the drifting was used for introduction/spiel purposes? Like in TAR 15. :duno:
There are a lot of videos in You tube about drifting in Indonesia. They mainly use the Lippo Karawaci street circuit in Tangerang, which is about 40Km west of Jakarta but very far from Yogyakarta.
But that is an orginised circuit with security bars, spectator seats etc. The images we have so far with the Mustangs look like a normal road.
here is a video of this circuit.

But why focus on it so much if it is just a Speed Bump? I think it is a sponsor RI for leg two and the winner will win two of them. Like the Austria leg of last season.
I like Ron's watch!
From the new episode preview...

It's from the same premiere promo (approx. 0:44).
But if you'll notice, the 'Wanpei' signboard is not yet open at that time. Maybe it is a practice run? ???

It's a 2 hours premiere?? :hearts: :lol: (Sorry didn't catch up on spoilers!)
I want to throw in that Bill and Cathi went WAY off course in Taipei. I'm frequently in the central area so recognized all the areas they wondered off to.
They were seen in:
- Shin Kong Building
- Taipei Bus Station
- Taipei Train Station
- Presidential Palace
It may seem they went on a mile treck in a circle from Ximending.
Did anyone else notice at the boat task one of the teams (I believe the snowboarders) had their clue showing at it looked yellow. I am guessing everyone chose the same detour so it was edited of the episode.
I could be wrong though. :duno:
:waves:
Loved the first episode, it is a shame that it wasn't a 2 hour premier.
I wish that Zev and Justin from TAR 15 had the same luck with Zev's passport like the girls did.

They had a ROADBLOCK, which seldom happens on any FIRST Amazing Race leg, and compensated by having no DETOUR this leg.

Did anybody hear when the episode title was said and by whom?
It must have been Keylani, but I didn't hear it anywhere.

Dumb question: how did they get this shot?

Season 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 had roadblocks....
is everything stage the amazing race
A growing theory:
They had to re-shoot the drive off after it was relayed that a passport was lost.
They called in a crew, note the big white Ford van that is suddenly in place where there was a family van seconds earlier.
They used somebody else's passport (crew member), it's not Kaylani's as noted by someone else here earlier.
Shadows indicate it was 10 to 30 min later
The one on the left looks like Phil's sound guy Barry.
where I have watched it over and over I still don't hear the title. Any help would be appreciated.Did anybody hear when the episode title was said and by whom?

She said it at LAX. :)
The local number can be seen: Call Confucius at the number below and memorize some of his ancient wisdom. ... too fuzzy to read.
No cluebox shown in this leg(all clue given in other forms)...because they don't want to spolier? :(
I think the post dragon boat clue box was "hidden" under a bridge.No cluebox shown in this leg(all clue given in other forms)...because they don't want to spolier? :(
Wasn't there one after the dragonboats? And what does that thing before the roadblock count as? :lol:

Wait, so the 1-800-CONFUCIUS was simply a lie? I knew that was too convenient a phone number to be true!
Come to think of it, there were no clueboxes in the episode. ??? The billboard, the odd clue wall at the temple, the clue pouch, and the clue hander under the bridge.
