Funny article read this morning that I thought I would pass on. Personally, I would go to every Nationals and Redskins game if I knew I could get a $7 beer and a $10 falafel sandwich. Would have been a lot more enjoyable than the nasty fries I purchased at the Terps football game on Sunday (tailgating on an empty stomach is a bad idea).
Travel, esp international, is a BIG part of my life(I treavl for work, plus my family lives part of the year in Germany). In the past 8 months I have been in New York, Georgia, Florida, Arizona, Honduras, Germany.I try to truly experience a culture when I am somewhere. For me it is less about being a visitor and more about being a native.
