Eat all the street food, no doubt the best food I've ever had. So full of flavor and spice, a cultural explosion in your mouth.
The food you find in street stands are cheap, quick and clean. These people base their living off cooking, and keeping the locals coming back for more. The people are friendly and helpful, especially if you don't speak the native language. The pick and point trick works out well for me. It also give you the chance to experience the local environment, meet new and interesting people, share a language baring conversation. You are always given a hearty amount of food, gainz with no complainzz. The price of food can range anywhere from $1-$6, yet again it all depends on your location and the amount of food you plan to consume.

The other option I'm a big fan of is cooking. Cook as much of your own food as you can and you will save big bucks. Yes, some countries it can be cheaper to eat street food based on supermarket prices, or if there is a local market in the area your in luck.
Cooking with other travelers is also a great way to feel at home, split food cost, and learn a new dish. You can literally buy almost anything at the local markets. The produce is fresh and endless. Picking your own food from local growers is such a beautiful thing. This gives you the opportunity to practice your language skills. Learning basic phrases and vocabulary. All while contributing back to local farmers. Eat everything, try the local dishes and taste something exotic. |
