This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Maybe anon is from a country with a shitty currency and the only affordable food he found is McDonald's garbage.

Or maybe anon is not used to fine dining at 3* Michelin restaurants.

Right because local restaurants are all fine dining

Why would you eat anything else on your holidays? You can eat comfy food at home all year long in your local restaurants.

Because comfy, everyday food is different from one country to another?

Totally agree in some way, I also try to eat the best food I can when I'm visiting a place, but price is definitely a factor here. You can find fucking amazing food in many places for very cheap.

We must travel differently and with a different sort of budget

Agreed. I travel to see things and experience life in another area. I want to go where a local would go after a long day at work or when a college student is homesick for home cooking, not where a local would go to propose marriage.

If I want super fancy food, I have options near home. I want "authentic" food to truly experience the culture.
