How long did they have those taxis for? Was the elephant place really far from the bus station?
My guess is they did not have to pay for their bus tickets at all, unless they needed a second ticket for some reason. Even so, there seemed to be a lot of cabbing at the end of the ep so I'm surprised only one team had $ concerns.
They were all equal in terms of having no money after they had to donate it all to that orphange a few legs back, so everyone was already pretty low on cash, unless they managed to save some since then.
If the twins had managed to finally change their money into local currency, they should have had more than the other teams since they got a free cab ride their first night in Thailand (when they only had Indonesian money). So I really don't understand how they wound up with nothing at the end of this last leg.
IIRC, all transportation costs for the team, other than airfare, are paid from their cash, so those bus tickets would have had to come out of their allotment.
Overnight buses are cheaper than I'd expect, then, at least in Thailand!
But then the taxis were expensive for all the teams -- at least it wasn't a case of one taxi driver trying to rip a team off.
Afro-Blue was fantastic. I loved it.
Yeah, the whole "why are you doing this to us" speech was a bit much, when the "this" was, basically, charge the correct amount.
Killing Me Softly is the second Afro Blue song that I have purchased from iTunes. Which is EXTREMELY significant. I actually have one of their previous jazz albums back before they were famous :)
Look at you, Vortex. I need to go to Itunes and start buying some of these songs.
People seemed to really like "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", but I loved their "American Boy" even better. I suspect that by the end, I will have paid enough for individual songs to have just bought the album.
