The Bloody Filthy Travel Edition Odcinek 5

What is the most disgusting or confusing travel experience you’ve ever had? This episode has some educational bits, but it’s focus is on enjoying the not-always-so-smooth experience of travel. Imagine Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations if he didn’t need to edit for cable. This time, they’re not in a library nor on a boat dock fishing for fish; we’re on a street corner in Jinggu, at night... Not for the faint of heart.
