I have to agree, banzai... it was that barrel roof that caught my eye initially.

Only thing, how can a building that large go unidentified.... not even a picture or description anywhere.

Now it brings up the other question... where are they going

It's not far from the train station, and a short walk to downtown HCMC. And why aren't they running

We are missing some screencaps guys...

Wish I knew how to get them all...

credit to JonLover for the cap and reporting seeing one in Oman

Good one, peach.

...ummm, what about the other caps on pg. 19, like the blowpipe guy, "kneeling buddha" (very rare), dancing girl, and what appears to be a Turkish musician. Are these recycled?

According to wikimapia, there's a market near that bridge.

Maybe Henry and Bernie went to that market.

Thanks to farwest's vidcap.

I check down the street from the bridge, there's nothing but residential areas and small shops. Nothing special. I don't know where Natalie & Pailin are heading.

... and don't forget the (African) Masai tie-in to the Oryx.... specifically the "Fringe-eared Oryx of Tanzania.

Hold up...

just checked the season one vid caps and the Oryx is there--are they being tricky?

Blowpipe guy, kneeling Buddha, musician, and dancing girl are all season 1.

Thanks banzai...forgot all about Wikimapia... the large building does have a name...

I'm still not sold. According to this shot the yellow building next to the pagoda should be in your field of view.

It's nothing compared to the locals letting off a little steam (play the video here). If the cap isn't from a previous season, we might be able to find the company badge on that door.

Meanwhile, I asked about the building and the "WOW" sign, and here is his reply:

If that WOW address is right, then it's near Ben Thanh market.
We're on the right track.
Detour is either sell flowers or to deliver goods near Ben Thanh market.

Boingo · « **Reply #566 on:** September 14, 2008, 11:34:15 AM »

FWIW, the Wow store is located in Zen Plaza (which has the same address).

banzai · « **Reply #567 on:** September 14, 2008, 11:43:43 AM »

Oh well, so there are at least 2 stores.

This one is at an intersection. People stop and wait for the green lights here.

From Allan Wu's blog...

The world (wide web) is waiting... Go!

Is it Saigon?
I play this video and one of the sidewalk use those tiles. Are they common in Saigon only?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ncvsOIth-4&feature=related

Just found out that video was shot near the roundabout next to Ben Thanh market.

Boingo · « **Reply #569 on:** September 14, 2008, 08:16:44 PM »

Good eye, banzai. When the camera pans up from the "decorative" sidewalk, we see the General Tran Nguyen Han Statue, right in front of the Ben Thanh Market.

Given all the different sidewalks I've seen in HCMC, this may or may not be significant.

georgiapeach · « **Reply #570 on:** September 14, 2008, 08:50:46 PM »

Oh wonderful!!

I SO wanted us to find that decorative sidewalk!

And keep those locations coming! Y'all are on a roll!

I interpreted the spoilers to say "find a certain flower shop to get your next clue"....

Which may take us to some teams delivering (is that laundry?)

Stilll want a promo for a floating market though...

And WHAT is with that bridge?

Why are they way over there??

puddin · « **Reply #571 on:** September 14, 2008, 10:45:52 PM »

Thats actually really a cool catch banzai! I totally forgot about that pitstop mat
Not sure about the bottom 2 pictures, I get dizzy trying to compare them

fwiw

Slowhatch · « **Reply #572 on:** September 14, 2008, 11:05:26 PM »

The sidewalk patterns seem to be in many spots of the city, including the Joan of Arc and beside this flatulent fellow (oops, sorry, that's a massage

). If we can match the yellow squares then we've probably got it.

I'll just take a wild stab at the odds and ask that the Joan of Arc church be the Pit Stop. Because

1) a team is shown crying/hugging there
2) that shot was near the end of the day (sun coming from the west)
3) the tiles!
4) down with the zoo spoiler!
