I would order off the menu if possible.
I was really trying to ask this question of when do you actually know a place or what does it mean to actually have been to a place and to know it?
I think that it
You know, it has to do, some of it has to do with just observation.
Don't just snap a photo.
It takes humility and also if you're a person who loves to plan everything in advance, it probably sounds a little bit scary.
The locals can guide you to good places that you didn't plan for.
For me, talking to strangers is a really big part of it.
Asking strangers for recommendations is so different than having things recommended to you algorithmically because people have personal reasons for enjoying things.
They have context around that.
Leaving enough unplanned space...
to acknowledge that the meaning is going to come from the place, not from you ahead of time planning your trip.
Like that's impossible.
We are sort of like culturally used to applying one type of a mindset in one place.
one situation and then we kind of have a different mindset that we apply at home.
And I think like very quickly you will be humbled by the things that you don't know about that are sort of right in your backyard.
I think it has just a lot to do with what you're looking for and what you're looking for has to do with what you think you're doing.
If you think you're on vacation, then you are basically setting out to experience leisure time, right?
Like that's your goal.
I mean, people travel in different ways.
