Hung & Chee

Name: Chee Lee
Age: 38
Hometown: Houston
Current occupation: Financial planning and analysis

Describe what you do: I run the budgeting and forecasting process to ensure my company achieves its profit targets. 

Three words to describe you: Laid-back, trusting, and athletic.

Favorite hobbies: Tennis, playing with my kids, and binge-watching shows with my wife.

What is the accomplishment you are most proud of?
I devoured 5 pounds of pizza in 60 minutes to win a pizza-eating challenge.

What scares you most about traveling?
Food poisoning.

What excites you most about traveling?
The possibility of seeing, doing, and eating things I’ve never seen, done, or eaten before!

What country and place would you most like to visit and why?
I’d like to go anywhere in Africa because it’s the continent I know least about, and it would be so
different than any other place I’ve been.

What do you hope to accomplish by running The Amazing Race with your partner (other
than winning one million bucks)?

I want to laugh a lot with my wife.

Name: Hung Nguyen
Age: 39
Hometown: Houston
Current occupation: Professional development coach

Describe what you do: I turn potential into promotions.

Three words to describe you: Sharp, resilient, and compassionate.

Favorite hobbies: Cuddling with my dog, trying new foods, and practicing mindfulness.

What is the accomplishment you are most proud of?
I am so proud of and inspired by the kind, curious and strong daughters that I’ve raised.

What scares you most about traveling?
Suffering a tragic accident and dying without seeing my family again.

What excites you most about traveling?
Experiencing new foods, learning about different cultures, and being humbled by people’s clever
and resourceful ideas.

What country and place would you most like to visit and why?
I’d like to go to Indonesia. I was born in a refugee camp in Galang, Indonesia, which has since
been turned into a memorial site. I’ve never been back since leaving as a newborn.

What do you hope to accomplish by running The Amazing Race with your partner (other
than winning one million bucks)?

My husband and I never went on a honeymoon. This is the ultimate honeymoon!

This really caught my eye as Hung is the same age as my boss and also of Asian descent.
Hung turns potential into promotions whereas my boss turns potential into burnouts.

Okay we need to discuss that first insider video. One backpack, a shared toothbrush, no deodorant and a single razor blade?? :lol3: I think that's the most insane packing we've ever seen lol.

Funny how James too wished he'd thought of the single backpack idea, shows these two did their research before they left. Clearly a strong contender and a well deserved win for the first leg, congrats!  :)x

Hung, my sister is happy that you're representing 5'0 women (she's the same height as yours). What a force!

This is a super cool site! I'm definitely a newbie here, but very impressed with all the content!  :conf:

How is the feeling of reading all the 'following' of us during the filming  :funny:

I am SUPER impressed with this underground network of dedicated spies!

Nope, unfortunately, we did not get a Prize for Leg 1. Funny that you ask b/c there was a team who tried to accuse of lying/hiding an 'advantage' like a Fast Forward or something... I am not sure if they really believed this or if they just wanted folks to hate us. This conspiracy theory didn't catch on or go anywhere... :)

Glad our antics could make you laugh! We aim to please! :) I travel a lot for work and always pack light b/c it's just easier that way. (Never THAT light... but I'm great with all sorts of packing hacks!) I also pack/travel with 3 kids, so if we didn't pack light.. we would never be able to do much!

Fun fact: The shortest person (me) is actually 18 inches shorter than the tallest racer who is 6'6''!!!
