Oh dear.

So "dark" men in fez's are serving up curry and there's a Thai air hostess? What country is it meant to be?

It DOES sound like the writer confused their foreign stereotypes, doesn't it? But frankly, that's the least of their problems.

Egyptian-Thai-Indian fusion restaurants were all the rage in 1960.

Hahahaha! The time when drip-dry, 100% nylon shirts were a premium product. Supermarket carrier bags were made of paper then, it was only posh shops which had plastic bags - now it's the opposite.

It reads like a story from a Porn mag.
"The stewardess drew closer to me , and I could feel something stirring inside me, something ... erotic"
