How to Live Abroad, Locally

Thursday, December 1st, 2011

From a list of 15 ways to live locally when traveling.

Eat different cuisines than the country you’re in. And I’m not referring to the lasagna from your hotel restaurant. Thai food in India is different than in Thailand – obviously. But it’s also different than Thai food in Seattle. I’ve had great Mexican food in Athens, great Greek food in Bangkok, and some stuff I didn’t recognize on a Biman Airlines flight while over Pakistan. But more than good, these meals were interesting — and that’s what travel should be.

Thai food is great - fresh, healthy and delicious. While there, I had excellent Indian, Italian and even Mexican food. There are folks from everywhere in Thailand, and many get into the restaurant business.

The full list is here. Reposted from mylittlenomads.com
