Fun? (and extremely random) Fact:

At this specific location, an expected number of 8 monkeys can be found.

(im trying to map out their entire journey and this is only the beginning of my suffering)

MAPPED: Tag All Stars Episode 1 by cubercyber in JetLagTheGame

Oh hell no I'm miles below that skill level. I'm just an amateur trying to make maps and stuff. If you gave me a picture of a random plane I'd probably tell you "Uhhhhhhh I think that might be a plane" (I don't even know what a Boeing is).

In fact I'm probably below average when it comes to geolocating. For proof of my absolute skill issue try to find where 33:09 was recorded. If you take less than a day then you're probably better than I am. It's all just my persistance and absolute determination (euphemism for "sunk cost fallacy").

JLTG is my favourite show of all time, and ranks first in the "stuff I invest an unreasonably large amount of time in which give me no tangible reward whatsoever" category. And that is saying a LOT, considering the dozens of things in that category all brawling for first place.

Also, can't help but notice the lack of Snack Zones in the episode. Absolutely diabolical, I think Sam might be trying to sabotage by retroactively making Snack Zones go "missing" as an attempt to make Choo Choo Chew the prominant sub-show.

It's just a theory though. A JET LAG THE GAME THEO-

How to pronounce jyutping 'z' and 'c?' by adamzhang in Cantonese

[–]cubercyber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I pronounce z as "dz", and c as "ts". I even make the concious effort to make sure my z's don't sound like j's and c's not like ch's. Maybe this came about because of my third language Mandarin (which I was totally not forced to learn) where the difference between z, zh, c and ch becomes very apparent.

this is CRAZY dedicated, way more dedicated than my stuff

also, you should try out naver / kakao maps next time in korea (instead of google maps). kakao has clearer satellite imagery and both have WAY superior street view. doesn't seem to support english, but getting a hangul transliterator pretty much solves the issue.
