New Season, New Blog

Hello everyone,

The new season of The Amazing Race is set to start on November 4th, 2007. A new season, a new pool, which means a new blog. See you over there!

Bonus Question: Week Eight (Nine?)

The teams took a staggering leap all the way to Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur is famous for a few reasons, but one is something that Harry Potter would totally love.

What famous landmark in Kuala Lumpur would Harry Potter be a fan of, and why?

[hint: there's a word in the first couple sentences that's a clue]

Good luck!

Week Seven: Bonus Question

So the teams went to Auschwitz, and all seemed fairly shaken up and moved by the experience. Maybe Charla will be inspired to write a book about a dwarf with a mentally ill relative living in Nazi Germany and observing the atrocities.

Well, if she did, she'd be denied 'cause someone already wrote that book.

What is the title and author of the book described above?

Week Seven: MAX POINTS Bonus

When Charla and Mirna reached the boat dock, they were told they could not sail due to bad weather, even thought it was totally sunny outside.

1. How far away is Zanzibar City from Dar es Salaam?

2. How long would it have taken to get there in the dhau (I'm guessing on spelling)?

Good luck!
