Rhys: Shaz, it says 'find the grand lady of the far east'. Who's that?
Shanina: Beats me, we'll have to use Google.
Rhys: What if she's ugly?
Shanina: BLIMEY, Rhys! I'm pretty sure it's some building... thingy. It won't be a real person.
Rhys: You sure on this?
Shanina: Yes.
Rhys: Very sure?
Shanina: Of course.
Rhys: Very, very sure?
Shanina: Oh christ YES.
Rhys: Old... probably our good old colonial brethen the British.
Shanina: Yeah, Singapore was British, so- Wait! *points* Let's just ask that tourist kiosk over there, I'm sure they'll have the answers.
Rhys: Excuse me, do you know who-
Shanina: *glares* You mean 'where'.
Rhys: Right, do you know where the Grand Lady of the Far East is?
Counter Lady: *circles the landmark out on the map* Here.
Shanina: Thank you so much!
Counter Lady: No problem lah! You're welcome!
Rhys: *squints eyes in confusion* Wait, what was it you said after 'no problem'?
Counter Lady: Huh? I said, 'no problem lah'.
Rhys: Yeah, yeah! What's that mean?
Counter Lady: Ohhh, sorry! It's a Singaporean expression. It's just for emphasis!
Rhys: *raises eyebrow* OK, thanks ma'am.
Shanina: That's really interesting! I didn't know that.
Rhys: Me too, Shaz. How curious!
Shanina: I know, Rhys. You're so silly... lah.

Dan and Ray arrives first at the Raffles Hotel and opens the clue.  DETOUR
RAFFLES' ORDERS OR RAFFLES' HOBBIES
In Raffles' Orders, teams will have to run to the Raffles Hotel courtyard and find a marked bin where they will be finding puzzle pieces of the Jackson Plan for Singapore. Once they have completed it, they must make their way by foot to the landing site of Stamford Raffles and bring it to Stamford Raffles himself and exchange it for their next clue.
TASK TYPE:  
TIME: + 33 minutes, + X minutes
HOW WILL THE TASK GO: This is a puzzling task and a navigation task.
Raffles was fond of animals and plants, and was the founder of the Zoological Society of London.
In Raffles' Hobbies, teams will have to make their way to the Singapore Zoo. Once there, they must find the species of the last surviving wild animal that was reportedly shot in the 1900's. They must then take a picture of it, and use the computers in a designated desk to find information about that animal. Once they have completed it, they must prepare a document containing the information and make their way to the landing site of Sir Stamford Raffles and exchange it with their next clue.
TASK TYPE:
TIME: Transport time; + 12 minutes
HOW WILL THE TASK GO: You'll create a document of the said animal.
CAUTION: U-TURN AHEAD!
Post your Detour Choice! You will be PM'ed accordingly to the Detour of your choice.
If you choose to do Orders: **Run to Raffles' Hotel Courtyard!**
If you choose to do Hobbies:
*Taxi to Singapore Zoo!* (+12 minutes, - 30 SGD)
*Bus to Singapore Zoo!* (+ 20 minutes, - 12 SGD)
*Rail to Singapore Zoo!* (+ 27 minutes, - 8 SGD)
SHIFTING DETOURS: Post: *Switch to (Orders/Hobbies)!**
Time taken during your performed 1st Detour + Time taken to do the 2nd Detour.[/color][/size] -----  FAST FORWARD
In this Fast Forward, teams will now have to buy the ingredients, make and serve the Singapore Sling for 20 people. The Singapore Sling is a popular drink concocted in the Long Bar of the Raffles Hotel.
Using their money, they will have to buy all the ingredients and garnishes needed to create the Singapore Sling to 20 people. Once they have all of them, they must then return to the Long Bar and learn how to make it. They must then serve the Singapore Sling to the 20 customers waiting. Once they have done that, the bartender will give them their Fast Forward Award!
Post:*Run to the Long Bar!* (+ 4 minutes)
TYPE: 
Fast Forward 4A: Find a recipe of the Singapore Sling and search for the ingredients with you can buy using your money in internet stores like Amazon etc. Your recipe must have the same ingredients with mine's. Then PM me the pictures of all the ingredients you can find together with the price (provide the link to the site as well).
It doesn't matter if they are in a different currency, but you'll have to convert it to SGD.
Make sure you'll buy it for 20 people. If the amount you buy is less, you will lose more time.
This is the catch: You'll have to do your best in finding only ONE site that has all of the ingredients. The more sites you submit to me will generate more time, as it will simulate your team moving in different shops buying the ingredients.
Your other task to follow after.
ADDITIONAL RACE INFO:--------------------------------- DEADLINE: 24 hours from now. If 7 or more teams have completed the task, I will be posting/PM'ing the ACTUAL DETOUR TASK.
Always take note of the Lost Zone!
All money used during this leg is the Singaporean Dollars. Use www.xe.com to convert your cash and round up all your to the nearest units.
BEGGING RATE: 1 HOUR = 10 SGD
DO NOT EDIT POSTS, ALL POSTS caught edited will be sanctioned to a 4 hour penalty.
