Default Top Gear Christmas special question
Has anyone seen the episode when the guys are the three wise men?

In the episode when the guys are the three wise men and drive to bethlahem. You see them in what looks like a cafe or restraunt.
They are smoking something through a tube looking thing. I was just wondering what that was.
Surely they wouldn't be allowed to smoke anything illegal.

They're popular in Middle Eastern restaurants here as well.
You can get all kinds of odd flavours. Green apple, strawberry, grape...

Yeah it's known as a Hookah in that part of the world. I know some smoking "Hookah's" in this part of the world myself.

This is the same episode where the dressed in burka's, and caused some of the Muslim population calling for their heads right? Can't wait for that episode to air in AUS. Probabbly be edited out I reckon.

Yeah it is the one that upset the Muslim and Christian communities. But I just think those religions are having a whinge and need to grow up and realise it is just for entertainment.

Yes because the vocal parties of these religions are known for being good sports and having a sense of humour

And to think the Burqa is an Islamic culture, not religous.

It was alright. Some of the other trips they've done which are similar have been far better (Vietnam, across Africa, etc).

I agree.. It wasn't as great as some of the others...

I also agree.
When I saw the preview I thought it was going to be an awesome episode. It didn't really turn out that way.

The ending was easy to pick too IMO.

The episode was alright. To be honest I am quite liking TG USA. Whilst they are doing the same sort of challenges they just seem better.

I laughed my head off in this episode. I thought the end was hilarious too. That said I liked the earlier episode when they went through New York.
