The Layover Taipei Episode
The Layover: Taipei Episode came out a few months ago, but I finally caught up to it during a rerun recently. Anthony Bourdain is a world traveller and usually survey's the land of culture through its food. A recent show, The Layover is spent checking out quick things to do in a 2-3 day layover, including sleep. If you've watched the other episodes in the series, you'll notice that time is often mentioned during the show. In the Taipei episode, Anthony is so busy, time is not an issue. From one night market to the hot springs to shrimp fishing (shrimping?), there was no lack of things to do. Anthony's shows usually shows a great deal of respect to the local culture and how someone from the outside can get a glimpse and still appreciate it.
