One of the things that Anja and I always strive for while traveling is to have an authentic adventure. We don't want the "touristy" experience, but rather the best authentic, traditional food, the day in the life of the local, the hidden gem off the beaten path. One of the ways we pull this off is simply by talking to people. You have to be very careful how you phrase your questions though; don't simply ask where you should go, as they'll list off the tourist attractions that they think you'll want to see. Rather, "whats your favorite restaurant, where do you eat, any recommendations on really cool experiences or places to visit?" Conversations of this nature will get you into truly authentic situations.
