the next day.

Alec and Taylor were not the first to start today. When they went from the rest place to the relay station of the last stage, the first, second and No.3 of the last stage had already started first.

"You guys are really on time." Holly looked at her watch, "We're leaving in five minutes. Do you have ten more minutes?"

Tyler nodded and replied, "There are still 11 minutes to go."

"See you at the airport then?" Holly said.

After one and a half stages in Canada, this stage will finally leave Canada.

"Go to China, Shanghai." Taylor was very excited after reading the clue, "It actually made us wait until the Chinese stage."

Alec was also very excited, "Your Chinese can come in handy."

"Come on, it's just my Chinese." Taylor still has a little self-awareness about his Chinese, "I think they may understand me when I speak English, but they definitely can't understand when I speak Chinese."

"I remember Sam can speak a few words of Chinese?" Alec said, "He said last time that he wanted to teach Paul."

"They know a lot of things." Taylor said, "Why, do you want me to teach you too?"

"Yes." Alec said, "in return, I can teach you Italian?"

"Oh?" Taylor said, "Time is not enough, you can teach me a sentence of Italian now."

"tiamo," Alec said, and Tyler repeated it, "What does that mean?"

At this time their taxi also arrived at the airport.

"Let's buy a plane ticket first," Taylor said.

All of them took the same flight next.

Transiting through Toronto, the plane headed to Shanghai, China, because there is only one flight today.

"tiamo, this sounds a bit like I love you in Spanish." After buying the ticket, Taylor murmured, "Are you going to tell me what it means?"

"I love you in Italian," Alec replied.

"Oh, it's too bad, you are too foul." Taylor looked up and thought for a while, "I'm so sorry, I really can't speak Chinese, I love you."

After Taylor and Alec, the twins and the Beekman boys arrived at the airport.

"So all the teams are here now?" Cody asked. "I don't want the tattoo team to come out of nowhere and tell us we were eliminated last stage."

As it turned out, his thoughts were redundant, and he didn't see the tattoo team appear until he boarded the plane.

The twins were very excited about going to China. Taylor asked about it, and the answer was: they love Chinese sushi to death.

"Chinese sushi?" Taylor asked uncertainly, "Is it famous?"

"Haven't you guys tried it?" Lisa said in surprise, "It tastes really good!"

The teams present are all experienced, but no one knows China very well. Lisa spoke so convincingly, everyone just thought that they did not know enough.

"All the teams will go to Shanghai, China via Toronto."

Alec and Taylor were not ranked well in the previous stage, so they sat in the back seats on the plane.

The twins were sitting right behind them, and Tyler and Alec talked it over and decided to tease them.

"Lisa, do you know where the capital of China is?" Taylor asked.

Lisa replied without hesitation: "Shanghai."

Elena is a little more cautious than her sister. She doesn't know how many cities there are in China, but she always feels that the answer to Taylor's question will not be as simple as Shanghai.

Seeing Elena's unwillingness to answer, Alec felt a little bored.

"At least I got it right," Taylor said. "Alec guessed you said Tokyo or Seoul."

"Are you taking me for a fool?" Lisa replied with a smile, "Tokyo is the capital of South Korea."

"Have you heard that the capital of South Korea is... wait, the capital of South Korea is... Tokyo?" Taylor stuttered a little after speaking.

Alec laughed beside him.

The doctor and his wife were sitting in the same row as Taylor Alec, so they naturally heard all the conversation just now.

Holly kindly reminded: "The plane is about to take off, don't talk anymore." What she thought was "You two are so bad."

"When they're not talking, it's nice to just look at their faces," Holly said of the twins.

"Aren't they pretty when they talk?" her husband, Brett, asked.

"Still pretty," said Holly, "but when they talk, I don't notice how pretty they are, I just notice how stupid they are."

Shanghai, China.

"Go to the Bund for the next clue, watch out for the double swing ahead," Taylor read.

Once a team turns back and reaches another team at the turning point, the team has to complete two detour tasks.

It is equivalent to doing one more task than others for no reason.

Since a team can only use a turn once in a season, the use of turn needs to be well thought out.

"We are behind now, and we have to catch up quickly." Alec said, "Our rankings in the first few stages are not bad, and it is very likely that we will become the target of turning around."

Because of the double turns, Taylor originally thought that a task would be a roadblock, but he didn't expect the first task to be a detour.

"Detour: Chinese or Shanghainese."

"In the Chinese task, you need to learn a Chinese tongue twister."

"In the Shanghai dialect task, you need to learn to read a poem in Shanghai dialect."

"How could we learn a Chinese tongue twister?!" Taylor looked at the task and said, "And what is this Shanghainese task? I thought all Chinese people speak Chinese!"

Both tasks are about language, and it is difficult to see which is better just by looking at the task card.

"If I'm turned back, I'd be crazy to do both," Taylor said. "Which mission do you want to do?"

The advantage of the task of learning Chinese is that Taylor can speak some Chinese, but there are tongue twisters, come on.

To learn Shanghai dialect, both of them have to start over from scratch.

People have a stereotype that learning poetry is easier than learning tongue twisters.

This task is likely to work in the opposite direction, and it may be more difficult to remember the words to learn poetry than the words to learn tongue twisters.

Of course, this may just be Taylor's wild guess.

Taylor handed over the decision to Alec.

"Which one do you want to do?" Taylor asked, and then added, "I can do either, I think I should have an advantage over you in memorizing languages."

Taylor has always liked to boast, and Alec is used to it.

"Do the task of reading the tongue twister?" he asked. "We don't even know what Shanghainese is."
