Can you talk about the decision process behind the later seasons of No Reservations evolving beyond the "Let's visit X place to hang out with interesting people and try the food" to examining places like Liberia, Mozambique, and especially Haiti? Having spent a lot of time working/traveling in Latin America, the scene with trying to buy people food in Haiti reminded me of so many experiences when you're confronting not just with your own privilege as an American (and one who can afford to travel abroad), but with how the world is so much more complicated than just being able to help with good intentions. At least that's what my experience has been traveling on delegations to places like Cuba & rural Mexico and being in the Peace Corps.
