Movie Set Travel: Borat's Cultural Learnings Arrive
Where: Kazakhstan
We're hearing raves about Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan and are only sad it's just two hours of hilarity. Seriously, one of IMDB's commenters wrote, "This film lives up to the challenge. Anyone who is a fan of the show will find themselves on the edge of their seats, trying not to spray urine on those close to them." Clear your plans, folks. Perhaps invest in some Huggies.
As you must already know, Borat follows the cross-country trip of beloved Kazakhstani TV newsman, Borat Sagdiyev. He's sent to the U.S. and intent on finding and marrying Pamela Anderson.
Sure, most of the film was shot in LA and Manhattan, but we're not letting that stop us from doing it justice. Today we highlight some places across the country we think Borat would have had a swell old time at - enjoy!
Where To Get a Dose of Home:
Embassy of Kazakhstan to the USA and Canada
Borat should surely make a stop off at his friendly local embassy, located on 16th Street NW in Washington, DC. And you should check out the embassy's webpage and its "reasons the movie will spur increased interest in the real Kazakhstan." Before Borat, who knew (or cared) that Kazakhstan is four times the size of Texas?!
Where To Sport Your Day-Glo Green Butt Floss Bathing Suit:
Will Rogers State Beach
Borat can hop off the Pacific Coast Highway near the intersection with Temescal Canyon Road, and hit the beach where Pam Anderson made too-small red bathing suits and silicone famous. This is where Baywatch was shot (before relocating to Hawaii) and where Borat can soak in the sun, and scare the locals.
Where To Eat Your "Dogs That Is Hot":
Dash Dogs
Borat should head to 127 Rivington Street in NYC for his noted favorite food, hot dogs, at Dash Dogs. Kosher dogs are covered in everything from avocado to chili with Fritos to cilantro-garlic salsa. They're open late for post-bar feedings and midnight munchies. Great Success!
