Bourdain Never Felt Lonelier Than This Moment... | Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown

Bourdain walks into Shanghai fully admitting he will never truly know China — that the learning curve is impossibly steep and that Shanghai looks completely different every single time he visits — and then proceeds to make an episode that is less about food and more about the vertigo of watching a civilization accelerate past everything you thought you understood about the modern world. He said the world is becoming more Chinese, that you can't build a hotel in Vegas or a casino in Singapore without asking what the Chinese will think — and he said it in 2014, over braised pork belly and xiao long bao he called pillows of happiness, in a city whose skyline had been almost entirely rebuilt since his last visit, after getting comprehensively destroyed on baijiu at a business dinner and ending up singing Billy Idol at karaoke because he didn't know how to say no.
