Anatomy of a Scene – Bourdain’s ‘Parts Unknown’ in Congo and NYC Contrast
If you had to pick opposites in the world, you couldn’t do much worse to contrast the journey through the thick Congolese jungles and down the Congo River with the urban sprawl of New York City. One of Anthony Bourdain’s ‘Parts Unknown’ episodes in the Congo has one of the show’s best scenes where it has a vivid description of Bourdain gazing over New York City from his high-rise apartment in the closing moments, set up against the backdrop of his first and only foray to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Seeing The Multiplicity of Human Realities Through Travel
I have always thought of travel as more than just changing your physical location to another place. To me, it’s also about seeing alternate realities in the sense that you get to witness how people around the world have distinct ways of living, thinking, and experiencing the world that challenge and even change your own perspective.

Full Guide to Eating in Morocco During Ramadan as a Tourist
Visiting Morocco During Ramadan: What to Expect If you’re visiting Morocco during Ramadan, it’s important to be mindful of local customs. As a tourist, you are not forbidden from eating during the day, but it’s best to avoid eating or drinking in public out of respect for those fasting. Finding breakfast and a morning coffee can be challenging, as many local cafés and restaurants remain closed until later in the day. However, in tourist areas, you can usually find something open. By late afternoon, around 4:00 PM, the markets come alive as Moroccans prepare for the evening meal, so from then on, food options become widely available again.
