Wow...... Havent come here for quite some time...

Ok, so for Leg4.

We can't be 100% sure about Taiwan, BUT we can be sure that its a chinese-is-main-language country.

From the shots in the restaurant, I can tell. (Oh yea, I'm chinese.)

First, the non-smoking sign has "chinese" words. I can only make out 1 word though. The word is "wu", which means do not.

Second, in Singapore's "Chinese" restaurants, the "Lobster Pagoda" dish can be frequently sighted.
However, the teams are not gagging after eating that, its a different dish. Since there are chopsticks, it might be some kind of noodles. Oh yea, and I'm SURE the dish is spicy. I think. Cos in the preview, Ida(or Tania)'s eyes are very very red. and her cheeks too.

Lastly, there are obvious chinese calligraphy on the painting.

So, what you guys think. It might be BeiJing, which we previously thought was the starting line.

And yea, it's a roadblock.

I've been to BeiJing and I've seen the "aircon thing" which is located under the wall fan in the preview in restaurants..... so now I'm pretty much like ----> :duno:

AXN newsletter is out--I don't see anything new...

Isn't the one team decides the car key thing "we quit"??

I think it must be Taiwan


Please watch this photo



This photo it is cut form EP4 Preview

Let see the Vehicle Number Plate(I know you can read Chinese so it is Chi Wikipedia)

The Beiing Vehicle Number Plate is this → http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E4%B8%AD%E8%8F%AF%E4%BA%BA%E6%B0%91%E5%85%B1%E5%92%8C%E5%9C%8B%E8%BB%8A%E8%BC%9B%E8%A8%BB%E5%86%8A%E8%99%9F%E7%89%8C&variant=zh-hk

The Taiwan Vehicle Number Plate is this → http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E5%8F%B0%E7%81%A3%E8%BB%8A%E8%BC%9B%E8%99%9F%E7%89%8C&variant=zh-hk

Thanks, always good to have one last check.

From M McKay at AXN:

Quote
yes Pailin raced well and seemed up for the Race, which is to take nothing away from Natalie who tried her best. The next couple of Legs are going to be tough for the Racers, there is no let up for now and they will be tested yet again. I am not so fussed about big travel Legs in this third series, in fact we deliberately went for short, sharp Legs. We wanted this Race to be relentless and I think we've succeeded. So don't expect the focus to be on long travel sectors (unless it is in a bus or something like that).


and

Quote
Sam and Vince are racing quite well without being spectacular. They may be going under the other teams' radar but I think they will need to be a little bolder if they are to stay in the hunt.

I think with them, what you see is what you get. They are nice guys and very down to earth. They have a good sense of humour and are perhaps a little goofy. I'm pleased you like them.



Quote
This week on TARA the Race continues to be unrelenting and punishing. And, I'm sorry to say (for the Racers at least) there is no sign of a let up just yet ;)

 EP5  stuff, (maybe EP5?)
HEY~ :jumpy: This is my first post,I'm Kayne from Hong Kong.
I just saw a post in a China forum - Ragbear and it maybe a spoiler of TARA3
http://ragbear.com/read.php?tid=22007

The poster said he saw two beautiful girls(or women) on the street and finding taxi today(29-5-08 HKT),he also saw a flag of amazing race(which is in yellow & red), at first,he saw them opening a clue,then jumping up to the taxi, TAR13 have already finished shooting,so it's probably TARA3!!!

Additional information (District) - Mong Kok (One of the most popular downtown area in HK), i don't think that it is only taking a clue then go to another country(just like season2), so i felt really excited :yess:
Hong Kong is looking good heres another blog~

Thursday, May 29, 2008
Its 107am,Hong Kong,,I just finished uploading the fotos..Gonna write a short post and go and sleep.So that I can go Disneyland and perhaps to the famous Jumbo restaurant later.I went to Stanley Market yesterday,took a train to Central station and a public bus to the market.I need my dosage from addiction soon..I am running out of it.1 more day before I can see him and I cant wait to fly back soon...I will think of the happie moments coz I dont wanna waste a single moment missing out those happie and sweet times together...


(its goes onto say)

The pier where I saw Allan Wu.He's filming Amazing Race Asia there.. :)





edited to fix the link

:jumpy:

  Taken on May 29th found at flickr , Hong Kong I assume.
eta: its not a team but a cameraman?

tagged: "Doubtful " The Amazing Race" Enroute point"


:js: Hong Kong on 5/29

Date and Time (Original): 2008:05:29 17:58:47


I think it is very possible that we are seeing the same filming in this shot too! :hearts:






Its Hong Kong

ETA:  yup its Mongkok






Chinese turns out to be easier to read at a distance (thanks Puddin!) - this is 通菜街, Tung Choi St in Mong Kok which puts it here in the middle of Ladies' Market, at the intersection with Shantung St...

(There're hangers by the side of the cluebox. Cameras? Compasses? What gadgets do they need?)

There is a conflict of times that is bothering me. I have believed that the "end of the pier" activity in Hong Kong was on Wed. May 28. This is based on the blog which has a picture of the place where allan Wu was sighted and states "Thursday, May 29, 2008 Its 107am, Hong Kong.", which means that the sighting was May 28. However, other photos appear to indicate that the event took place on Thursday May 28. Which is it?
