The Bunyadi is London's first new dining pop up restaurant and had a wait list over 16,000 names long before closing in August! At a traditional Maasai wedding, the father of the bride blesses his daughter by spitting on her head and chest. A clock developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Colorado in Boulder is so accurate that it will not gain or lose a second in 300 million years.

I’m not even going to ask why they called it a “pop-up” restaurant.

Bunyadi was a pop-up thing only planned for about 3 months. It seems to still be operating on weekends if I read facebook correctly.

The Bunyadi was clothing “optional”. However besides that, I do like their rule about no devices, not optional. Sort of like a restaurant here with a sign by the register “We do not have wi-fi. Put away your phones and talk to people…”They also have lockers to put your belongings in while dining. I hate to think about where all the keys have been kept for safe keeping…

The clock…how do they prove it’s accuracy? No one will be around THAT long!

When people think of “nude,” they usually think of the rare models who are sculpted and trim. Unfortunately, most people don’t look that good.
One might have a difficult time keeping his/her appetite in such a place.

It’s never a question of looks, it is comfort..Nude is French for naked.

Hopefully the seating is easily cleaned and often. I am always spilling a little on my clothing especially when it is a fresh new shirt.

How does a Massai husband bless his bride? Something to do with her face?

Every cellphone is that accurate. Both calculate time the same way.

That Maassai “blessing” reminds me of Ace Ventura’s “like” by the Chief & Ouda in “When Nature Calls.”

Don’t the Greek families spit on the bride as well?

Is the clock accurate due to incremental automatic adjustments or singular unwavering precise counting? Two different definitions of accurate.
