BUDDHIST TRADITION
or CHINESE CUSTOM?
BUDDHIST TRADITION: Make your way
to a Buddhist temple, Tien Kong Than, choose 12 giant incense stick,
then lug it up 150 steps to the top. Once there, light the sticks
until the ceremonial torch is lit. Once that is lit, you will
receive your next clue.
CHINESE CUSTOM: Make your way to
an esplanade and choose a chenge, a giant flagpole paraded to
celebrate Chinese New Year. You must balance the flags on your
forehead, walking 120 feet across the park. If you can cover the
distance, you will receive your next clue. |
JorDan forget to stop their
cabbie from leaving. Luckily, they pick up another one. Everyone else
gets a cab, but Jet & Cord miss theirs.
JorDan head to the temple,
alongside Louie & Mike and Carol & Brandy. Louie & Mike get the supercab,
so they're into first. Until Brandy & Carol sneak up in front of them.
Brent & Caite go to the
temple as Carol & Brandy start. Back in traffic, Steve & Allie decide to
abandon their cab and head to the Detour on foot. Meanwhile, Jet & Cord
balance flagpoles. Turns out to be easier than previously thought, you
know, once you lean it right.
Back on the road, the
running teams decide to follow Mike & Louie's cab.
But Jet & Cord have gone
from worst to first...

At the garden, Jet's sinuses
start acting up, but the spice tea is enough to power through. Is it
enough to get the tea right on the first try?.. .... Nope. Second try?
YES!

Allie and JorDan are at the wrong temple. Steve & Allie can't find the
