I am genuinely interested in different people, cultures, traditions, etc. When I travel I usually prefer not only to do the traditional touristic things, but also to get the feel of the real life of the city, of the people living there, to understand how they live, what they like, what they do. It's fascinating how different and still similar we all are, and however bizarre some traditions and habits may be, I am usually curious to get to know, and may be try some of it (as long as it's jumping off a cliff without safety net of course :) )
