No Reservations - Saudi Arabia

In this video, Anthony Bourdain expresses his feelings about Saudi Arabia before, during, and after his trip there. He asks his host about her feelings towards the societal norms there and is surprised by her answers about how she believes that it is the men who are separated from society, not the women. Bourdain's host shows how Saudis can do many of the things that Westerners can do, just dressed differently and in a different way. Stereotypical conceptions of Saudis are excluded in this episode as the audience follows the life of a typical woman in that society. I also found this picture on Tumblr and I thought that it was pretty relevant to the topic of what is considered women exploitation.
