What also makes this show so good is the excellent mix of culture, tension and adventure. Only the people who have won prices during their journey and who win the final will earn some money. And if that isn't enough, they will also compete with each other, because the last one to arrive at a certain point has to go home with nothing. Add to this that they'll have to hope for some hospitality from the locals, because otherwise they will have no food or place to sleep and you know this will be a difficult journey. The fact that they can't pay a ticket for the train or the bus, makes that they will have to try to catch a lift in a country they don't know, where a language is spoken they don't speak except for a couple of words. Where the third series will go to is still a mystery and I can only hope that there once will be a fourth one, because this is a series that I'll never get tired of. The second season eight new couples had to make the same kind of trip, but this time from Peking to Bombay (Mumbay). During the first season, eight couples had to hitch-hike from Moscow to Peking (Bejing) with no money and no place to sleep. Fact is that it is probably the only show I taped every time, just to be sure that I wouldn't miss a minute of it. It isn't easy to give a good definition for this series, but I guess you can call it a reality documentary or a documentary-game show. But there is one big exception and that is "Peking Express". and all their variations just don't do it for me.
Shows like Big Brother, Idols, Temptation Island. Normally I'm not a fan of all those reality shows.
