Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race Asia 1" Quiz

This site, one of the highest bungees in the world, was the location of the next Road Block. One member of each team, again, needed to make a jump off the platform to get the next clue.

When team members filled their wall with this alternative fuel source they could head to the Pit Stop at Jain Mandir Dada Bari. Sandy, Laura, Mardy, Andrew, and Joe Jer completed this task.

Answer: Brains

Heading to the Road Block after a task at the Eye of the Emirates outside of Dubai, teams needed to drive to the Raghdan Restaurant in the city.
