Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia was the setting for the second leg of Amazing Race Asia Season 4. In this leg, the teams were tasked to dance among tribe members and touch a snake's head, eat 100 chicken balls, solve a puzzle underwater and choose from river rafting on bamboo or shooting stones on a wooden target using an object used by some Malaysian tribes in hunting.
There were many twists and turns that happened as the race progressed. The most interesting for me was the Malaysian couple winning this leg when in fact the other teams were way ahead of them since they missed the flight where most of the team were in. Luckily, they were able to catch up when other teams had a hard time eating 100 chicken balls and incurring time penalties for not finishing the underwater task.
