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.

I did this exact thing when visiting Europe on a $50 a day budget (early 90's). I'm admittedly a coward when it comes to trying new foods and didn't want to pay for something I didn't like. Rarely do I eat McDonald's here in the US

When I visit places, tasting the food is a big part of the interesting experience to me.

Just be careful about food safety. I also like to try local food >.<

Americans really worry too much about food safety.

I'm from Germany though. Look at my instance URL.

Edit: And as I implied I've experienced the aftermath of not being careful :(
