No Reservations

I thought this video was incredibly interesting due to the incorporation of food as a common ground for all cultures.  This video dives into the daily life of Danya, a Saudi Arabian woman film maker She explains to Bourdain that Islam is a religion, which does not define one's entire life. She shows her flat screen TV and DVD's to demonstrate that their lives are do not differ as greatly as other's might think. In order to understand this culture it is crucial for an outsider, especially a westerner, to see that there are many types of people who follow this religion. There will always be extremists and people who take holy scriptures very literally, and there are also people who loosely interpret everything the religion has to offer.
