what a lame japan leg!

hmm.. i'm unimpressed by the so-called "Japan" leg in TAR..

ok.. so the teams were sufficiently baffled by the startling lack of English, the confusing signs and so on.. but.. WHERE are the subways? the confusing mass of entangled squiggles? WHERE's shinjuku? what's the obscure tea house place they went? and what stupid detour of "maiden"? u trying a harajuku thing?

3 words.

WASTE OF LOCATION.

serious. I'd rather it be something like transit from airport via train straight to shinjuku, then head to harajuku via subway. There either find special clothings for those cosplay characters at the harajuku bridge or head to meiji jingu shrine and search through tons of prayers plaques to find the next clue. Clue will direct them to MITAKA station where they search for the TOTORO museum and get the clue that the next location is at the scene of inspiration for the BATH HOUSE in SPIRTED AWAY, which is located 3 train stations down at the KOGANEI ARCHITECTURAL MUSEUM. There, the roadblock is to go to a RYOKAN and eat a full course Japanese meal complete with raw squid, raw fish, raw meat, puffer fish, sea urchin and all other delicacies. topped with wasabi of course. Then finally head to the pitstop at OMOTESANDO HILLS.

hehe.. sounds like my itinary liao.. haha
