Status Updates From The Fortieth Door

Jack Ryder is such an absolute idiot, a great representation of a 20th century young American abroad. Despite being in Egypt for 2 years, he’s learned next to none of the Turkish cultural norms, keeping instead within the Anglo-European world of tourists and archeologists. His only friends in Cairo are a Scotsman and an American tourist. He flaunts social norms left & right and yet is rewarded! It’s infuriating.
