[quote=Anonymous]AirBnBs are great for my family.  I enjoy shopping at local supermarkets for fresh and convenience foods.  My kids have a lot of fun memories from this.

Starting with touring Europe in the 1970s as a child, I ate a lot of mediocre overpriced food because we were traveling as a family on something of a budget.  I ate bland chicken in white cream sauce multiple times on my 1982 trip to France.  Each time billed as a local specialty.  After that I tended to stick to croque monsieurs and citron presses.  Some other low-lights include Hawaii Toast in Austria, Italian pizzas literally swimming in grease, and extremely overpriced red sauce spaghetti in Reykavik.

So I don't feel sad for mediocre ripoff tourist cafes.  They were never good.

I'm pretty sure I got sick from a restaurant in Tulum.  Also in Bali.  I felt they had low hygiene standards for food-related issues.  Would not go back to Tulum.  Would go back to Bali because it has a really interesting island culture and it's visually lovely.

What I think is most ruined about Europe is the experience of seeing the largest/most famous art museums.  I tend to avoid them now.  They are too crowded to facilitate learning and enjoyment at peak season.  The second tier museums are a much better experience.[/quote]
