I saw a preview of an upcoming episode and all I have to say is AB needs to keep his ass off ATV's.

I liked this ep.

I don't know what it is, but it feels livelier and more engaging than some of the last few seasons of No Res. Digging it.

Clark agrees with me on something. Armageddon is nigh.

Huge fan of early No Res, but it definitely tailed-off roughly around the time Anthony had a kid/stopped smoking and "bad Anthony" wasn't around very often.

Just watched the Myanmar episode and thought it was pretty good, but not great. I'm caustiously optimistic as I like the idea of more culture, politics, etc. than No Res.

Colombia looks beautiful but I'd still be kinda scared to go there. This episode didn't really sell me on it being totally safe.

I agree. While Cali may be a great place for a tourist, I will pass for now. I think he tried hard to sell the idea, but he is a bit more daring than I.

Those ice fishers are the bossest ice fishers of all time. As Bourdain mentioned in the episode, no one on Earth was currently eating a better meal than those guys. Holy ****.

The beaver joke that went left unsaid was also pretty awesome.

It's going to be hard to top that Canada episode. Incredible. And I don't usually like French cuisine.

I really liked this weeks episode. I didn't know anything about the crazy history of Tangier.

What is wrong with you? I think I just have to assume that anyone holding this opinion has likely only eaten at a sub par French restaurant in an upscale mall.

I wish I'd seen that episode before I went last year. We had some decent food but I had no idea those places existed.

Sunday's Congo episode looks pretty awesome: http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/06/travel...html?hpt=hp_c3

Quote:

2. The Concorde was a regular visitor to Congolese jungle

The airport in Gbadolite was built to accommodate the Concorde. And the now-retired plane visited frequently.
Dictator Mobutu Sese Seko built one of the longest airstrips in Africa in the middle of nowhere, so that the sleek supersonic jet could land at the imitation French town he had carved out of the jungle near the banks of the Oubangui River.

Gbadolite could qualify as the weirdest town in the world.

Built in the 1960s, close to Mobutu's birthplace, wide boulevards were cut out of the tropical rainforest, following a design taken directly from small-town France.

Even the street signs were the same as you'd see in Paris, Marseille or a village near the Belgian border. Dominating the town were two palaces, one in the form of a gigantic complex of Chinese pagodas.

Always concerned with security, Mobutu had what was at the time the largest bunker in Africa built in case of nuclear attack. A 12-kilometer (7.5-mile) tunnel leading to the Oubangui River provided an escape route to the neighboring Central African Republic.

There's not much left of Gbadolite these days -- it's been looted several times since Mobutu fled advancing rebel forces in 1997, and the jungle is quickly reclaiming lost ground.
