Its an Amazing Race day friends, just an update, teams are now down to 7. One team was eliminated last night on I believe the longest race episode in the history of The Amazing Race Asia.
The race was still in Vietnam, a culture riched country which started with a grueling 25 hours bus trip to Hue. It was part of the test to hurdle a whole day trip in the bus with no air condition, it means they have to be static for a day and sleep in the bus which i know was a draining experience being able to experience overnight travel myself. You cant really sleep well in this condition and you will end up drooling the next day.
The Hue tasks were long rather, the first one was to fix a jeep, change tire and do some change oil, this was an easy task for men being used to cars than women and it did made a difference 
being teams with men finish early than all women team. The next task was a brainier, they have to study the history of Vietnam and all its dynasties. They were asked to collect symbols for each dynasty with no additional clue given, there were information's provided where the symbols were place and this made a difference, other teams didn't mind this info's thus giving them a hard time on the next task, to arrange this symbols in accordance to its reign. The team of Pailin and Natalie gave up on this tasks, which I think was the dumbest thing to do since they will incur 4 hour penalty.
Some other tasks, make enssence and pad a rice, then drive a bicycle which was difficult to maneuver to the Pit Stop.
Some of the remarkable highlights, team Malaysia's unfortunate accident with Berni falling down from a bike, loosing consciousness for a while, flat front on the pavement, teams frustrations and attitudes coming out from the racers among others. This was the most entertaining episode so far and I believe there were more to come.
Anyways here is the rundown of the top teams that made it in the third round.
1. Berni and Henry (Malaysia) - I'm liking this team every episode, they're really trying the best they can and it paid off.
2. Sam and Vince (Hongkong) - Good Team but I'm not taking beat on them.
3. Tania and Ida (Malaysia) - I was wrong calling them not remarkable before, there a strong team.
4. A.D. and Fuzzie (Singapore) - A weak team, just lucky enough to stay in the race.
5. Jeoff and Tisha (Philippines) - Strong team but Jeoff is rude and gaining enemies which I think will backfire on them soon.
6. Mai and Oliver (Thailand) - Mai is now adjusting, keeping up to other teams.
7. Niroo and Kapel (India) - Another weak team, waiting for elimination.
8. Natalie and Pailin (Thailand) - Eliminated, Natalie losing interest to continue.
