^ the largest epidemic since the vuvuzellas.
One great thing about traveling to a new places that wasn't in the poll:
1st hand learning/experiencing « I tend to talk to locals and figure things out, seeing how real people are living in that place, also it's an awesome way to learn about the place where you're at.
A good example of 1st hand learning/xp:
In Florence my wife really wanted to go into a "handcrafted" perfume shop (which I wasn't very eager to go in), but there was a glass door on the back of the shop for a patio with beautiful architecture, the owner of the shop told me a lot of the buildings on that area at patios where the important families would greet their guests and hold society events, something I've read about the Medici a lot, she also told me that specific house was property of a wealthy Tobacco merchant, even pointing out the coat-of-arms and name.
I also got to slightly experience how the European crisis was affecting the most fragile.
