5 - The Osama Road to Nubia

perhaps more engaging scene -he is in a tent, naked, in the desert and an unexpected rain appears - why can't he do this more often and in more interesting experiences?

Osama bin Laden discussed, history

where Thubron made a point to converse with strangers, Theroux just jokes with them (pgs 76-7), an anti-American man curses American presidents and Theroux gives him a soda

visits an empty school and a well

pg 81: "The greatest part of my satisfaction was animal pleasure..." being alone outdoors

explores pyramids - history of dynamite-tomb raider

invited to meet a VIP - late-night conversations give Theroux good feelings
