[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Avoid any type of gimmicky activities that pose as educational experiences. I include in this category food tours, pasta making classes, any staged activities in which the locals fight each other (Mexican wresting, Thai boxing, Japanese sumo, Bolivian chola wrestling, etc), chopstick making classes, and so many more. What a waste. [/quote] We did shibori indigo dying in Japan and it was a great family activity. Tea ceremony in Korea similarly memorable. [/quote] Yes, my family has also loved this type of activity as well. And I have foodie friends who have traveled the world to attend cooking classes. They often have a party and make food for friends when they return and invite me early to teach me their new skills. If you pick a good vendor, it can be fantastic. Theirs often include visits to the farms or the specialty markets. My random travel tip is bike shorts with side leg pockets for under dresses. Very hard to pick pocket. I often have a scarf or cardigan that I drape to hide if I need to pull anything out when standing up, but it's easy enough to do quickly with practice.[/quote]
