In response to "that was a cool moment, but this season has been my least favorite -- nm" by ceregon

I've loved it. They've been putting these guys through the ringer.

That Japan/China double leg was *three days* of racing.

Responses:

has the city they ended in last night always had that name or has it changed recently? or is it a different city altogether? - Beaker Mar 28, 09:51 10
- There's been a whole thing about cities returning to their "Indian" names - Reagen Mar 28, 09:52 4
  - Yep - it's as much about claiming the name in a regional language (like Bengali, or Telugu), rather than a national one like Hindi. -- nm - Roger More Mar 28, 09:55 3
    - coupled with lingering anti-colonialist sentiment, I'd wager, since it was the Brits who f*cked up the spelling in the first place. -- nm - znufrii Mar 28, 09:56 2
      - Let's just say that spelling was done in a fluid environment :) And sounds were spelt differently in different parts of Britain -- nm - Roger More Mar 28, 10:00
      - hey, some of it is the fault of the Portuguese. -- nm - Reagen Mar 28, 09:57
- It modified its name in the 1990s. - Roger More Mar 28, 09:52 4
  - that far back? I though it was *slightly* more recent... - znufrii Mar 28, 09:55 2
    - 2001, according to wiki. China is different - they didn't rename anything,but codified how the entire language was spelt in the Roman alphabet. -- nm - Roger More Mar 28, 09:58 1
      - thx -- nm - znufrii Mar 28, 10:03
  - huh, I knew the last two. Interesting. Thanks. -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 09:53
