10個評論We're on our way home ... but still in the game and still in first!
Fly to Hong Kong
When we opened the clue we were excited to fly to Hong Kong. I wanted to go to unexplored places far flung from my previous travels but as far as getting ahead in the Race… I was quite happy to travel to our home turf. We were able to take the early flight out from Taipei and knew exactly where to go.
(guest announcer for the FINAL CALL ...haha)
(Sam's part time job ...)
King’s Park sports ground is not exactly well known but I play Slo-pitch softball there and was able to direct our taxi. We had no idea on what our task would be. I was prepping to kick soccer balls or rugby balls or do some obstacle course….but all we had to do was run through the rugby players practice… I was too quick for them.. haha… and did my patented shake-and-bake juke move haha…. SIGN ME UP … I’ll FREEZE all opponents in their tracks haha…
We got to the clue box and were told to go Peel street to look for our next clue. We were lucky to run back through the rugby practice and catch our taxi before it left. It would have been a real inconvenience to go back to the bottom of the hill to find another taxi. We knew exactly where to go and the fastest route to get there. The traffic can be horrendous and bumper to bumper if you take the wrong tunnel to cross from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island. We found the clue box quickly and it was Detour… ( Cue Alan walking and talking… A detour is a choice between two tasks each with it’s own pros and cons...)
Get Lucky or Get Fishy! We decided to Get Lucky and crunch through 300 fortune cookies instead of scaling fish. Who wants to scale fish…??? Not fun!!!
We had to read out every fortune that we came across and look for the “right: clue… We crunched through 290 of those suckers before finding the right one ..ARGH !!!
Roadblock
We had to cross back to Kowloon side taking the Star Ferry and then go to Ladies Market to search for the next clue.
When we got there it was a Roadblock. Who’s got an eye for the Ladies? We figure that it wasn’t a “physical” task so Sam volunteered to do it.
The problem was that he had pick a handbag from the selection we were given and search the market for a person with the exact same handbag. He’s “vertically challenged” haha and so I was worried that it would be difficult to scan across the whole area..haha. But luckily we was patient and able to eventually find the match.
Pit-stop
We had to make our way to Blake Pier in Stanley Bay. Now … I’m from Hong Kong but I never call Stanley…. “Stanley Bay” …. And had no idea where Blake Pier was… So I wanted to make sure where we were going to the right place… there are so many “Bays” in Hong Kong with similar names so I actually had to look at one of those tourist maps to make sure we were going to the right place…Luckily we picked up a few at the airport and sure enough.. what I know of as just “Stanley…. is the same as Stanley Bay”
1st on our Home Turf!!!!
We live to see another week… GO TEAM HONG KONG!!!
