100% on the tourist trap fake local places.

Disagree about "never ever", it's actively fun to see the small, but deep, differences.Often more insightful than a tourist trap "authentic" experience. Same with supermarkets.

too many people wasting chances to expand their experiences to new things

except McDonalds cause they are all different

i really lose my shit when indians insist on eating at indian restaurants while traveling abroad (including my own friends and family).

couldn't agree more. Just go out there and try new cuisines

McDonald's Thailand has fried chicken and it's pretty damn good
