The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. It’s the only movie I ever both paid to see in the theater and walked out on. So, it might be a stretch to say I “watched it” because I don’t think I saw more than half.

Don’t travel in a big tour group or cruise. As a single or a couple, one can’t help but interact with locals. Stay where nationals of that country stay; eat where they eat.
