That's it peeps, the end of The Amazing Race Asia 3.

I must say I'm a bit disappointed with the final task given at the last leg, it seemed too easy. It would have been better to have a task similar to the one they gave during TARA2.

Now that the race is over, I can concentrate on Heroes 3 :)

  7. Drats and double drats. It was already bad enough that I had to miss the finals and it was even worse knowing Ida & Tania didn't win. But at least it wasn't Geoff and Tisha. It would have been a disaster if they won. But congrats to the winner anyway :D

  9. Oh Ida Nerina & partner couldn't make it... USD100,000 is a lot to spend. This shows these HK boys have mutual understanding to overcome all hurdles. Congrats to them!
