Amazing Race heads to a changed Vietnam,clover knock off necklace van cleef

Executive producer John Brunton had one question when thinking about bringing The Amazing Race Canada to Vietnam: could this faraway land of jungles and rivers provide enough technical support for his large crew and contestants,van cleef replica butterfly necklace?

Yes, was the final answer, but there was a road block or two along the way. Viewers can see for themselves starting with Tuesday's episode of the show on CTV. The nine remaining two person teams race from Calgary to Vancouver then across the international dateline to Hong Kong and finally Vietnam. The first stop there is the vital commercial waterways of the Mekong Delta.

As always, the location was scouted in advance. Brunton's fears that people might falter in the tropical heat were well founded. Temperatures soared close to 40 C during the race in May. Two crew members and two team members needed medical attention. "And we got electric lights!" he said, roaring with laughter.

Language problems aside, Brunton said it was important to bring the race somewhere that was "dramatically different" for season 4. Last season saw teams visit Argentina and Chile as well as India.

The challenge,vca replica necklace, however, is that in a world that is becoming increasingly dangerous, safe exotic locales are in short supply. Viewers who lived through nightly Vietnam War TV reports in the '60s and '70s will now see it as a safe, conflict free destination, whereas terrorist targets such as London and Paris seem risky.

Brunton checked with the producer of the American version of The Amazing Race, Bertram van Munster, who gave the destination a big thumbs up.

"You have a culture in Chile where the law is very strict," he said. "If you ever tried to bribe anybody, you could go to jail." With other jurisdictions, said Brunton, it's hard to get anything done "without a big roll of dough in your pocket."

"We knew from the outset that [Vietnam] was a pretty reasonably honest place to do business," said Brunton.

Still, it is Communist country,van cleef and arpels butterfly replica necklace, with a conservative regime in place. But the red tape was worth it, said Brunton, who saw an opportunity, in the wake of Canada's generous Syrian refugee efforts, to reflect upon a "boat people" story from decades earlier "that is so central to who we are now."
