In the first part of the travel quirks series, I showcased some of the strange signs, billboards and writings I’ve come across in my travels. Today, I’ll focus on food and drink.
It just so happens that I like eating almost as much as I like traveling. This works out well, because being abroad provides ample opportunity to try all sorts of new food. You really are what you eat, so trying the local cuisine is an important part of understanding the local culture. And photographing it all allows me to laugh about it later.
