I have seen grown men wrestle with a live octopus down their throat.

None of the toilets out here have tissue (always go in with tissue in your jean pockets!).

I though pilkington seemed quite genuine, but he wasn't so funny from the Kung Fu point onwards for me. But for sure, there were moments of absoute hilarity.
I like the subtle stuff, like his face when that woman closes the curtain on the coach ride. Genius.
That was great. And you know, they do that! Most Asian people I have met like to nap on the bus and hate the sunlight. Of course, Karl Pilkington there got a great comedy moment from it.

That stuff is surely natural, but if you really wanted to plan for it and knew the culture, you could. I do like to think it is all natural though. It's certainly more fun that way.
