This is a compelling argument but I have it on good authority (Nazi account based in India) that if you leave the house in London you will get chopped up with a machete

Louis C.K. says the Riyadh Comedy Festival is a "positive thing" and "a great way to get in and start talking":
“There’s a woman who’s a lesbian and Jewish, who did a show there, and she got a standing ovation. So, there’s stuff going on that’s unexpected in this thing. People have been playing Saudi Arabia for years. Comedians have been going and playing Arab countries. There was a film festival there recently, it’s kind of opened up. But I’ve always said no to Arab countries.”

NEW: China officially opens the world’s tallest bridge, completing the project in under 4 years.
The bridge features a restaurant at the top, a whopping 2600 ft above the river.
The bridge not only cuts a 2-hour drive to 2 minutes, but also features as a theme park with a glass skywalk, a high-speed glass elevator, and a waterfall off the edge of the bridge.
Visitors can also bungee jump off of it.
The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is 2050 feet above the river and spans 4600 feet over the river.
Insane.
