My Favorite Thing to do on Vacation is to Eat

My favorite thing to do on vacation is to eat. I love trying out new local restaurants in the area. I generally travel to different places in Asia, which are known for their many and varied little restaurants.


I've never been very interested in tourism itself, but have found eating enjoyable everywhere. I also enjoy hiking and such when I can get it in. But eating seems to be my favorite thing to do.


Sometimes I like a good buffet where all the food is out and you get up to bring back a full plate. I also have found out about another style of buffet where you sit and order continually from the menu.

I have found it is fun to see how different foods are changed in different cultures. One food that is changed a lot is the pizza. I've only had a pizza with duck on it in Taiwan, and you probably won't find a squid pizza in the US very easily.

Ever thought of an "American" pizza as having corn, green beans and potatoes? These are some of the surprises that are waiting for you if, while you're traveling out of the country, try and not go to the McDonalds or Fridays near the hotel or tourist sites, but go off the road a little and find these gems.
