If the guy on the opening picture didn't have the sole of his shoe facing his host, the planet might be a little less lonely .
A couple of issues and a bad sense of humor
Okay, about 80 of this app is great but there are two issues. First, there needs to be a long glossary of types of food - all the ordering lingo is useless if you can't ask for any specific kinds of food. Also, there are some parts where the Arabic translation is the exact opposite of what it's supposed to say. For example, the English phrase "I am okay" translates as "I am not okay." And the question about "gay venues" brings up a warning in English that says "no matter what you do never ask this question." I guess someone thought that was cute.
