April 1, 2009 at 10:54 amthe best food i ever ate on all my trips is from street stands (sometimes costs more than a buck, especially when you spend the next day on the toilet:) but it’s worth it. however the other best food is local tiny restaurants. they are always home made, and why go to some ethnic, international cuisine when your’ already traveling!
