bourdain - no reservations - saudi arabia *spoilers*

the food didn't look as bad as being shrouded in black in 100 degree weather. i was jealous of the family meal at the end - DO WANT.

not singles or families - men or families. that's the fucked part. gah. genius would be a restaurant that had "singles" seating so you could meet other singles. but no. fuck, there have been a few episodes of no reservations that make me wish I could strap on a pair so I could visit a place without getting/arrested, treated like shit, etc. that said. I loved that tony used a woman as his guide. brilliant. surprised he didn't have DTs in the middle of day 2 or something, though.

yeah, all of these accounts from saudi or iran are insane. it's not quite as bad in iran, but christ, must people do this to each other??

I do wish he'd have been harsher, but I think he tried as hard as possible in the circumstances. like the family scene at the end with all the women uncovered for the most part sitting around. I kinda doubt they were all married and with their husbands etc etc etc.

I also think it's kinda fucked up that there's like ... la perla at the mall in saudi arabia. really? $150 bras aren't bad as long as you're covered head to toe in a black shroud??
