Yes there's definitely a WORLD of difference between eating and doing the tourist things and getting the local experience. Unfortunately despite my best efforts it is often very hard as a tourist to get away from the "tourist things," because they're strategically placed all around where one would be as a tourist. It was definitely a real lucky break making some local friends.
Also, thanks! (: I feel like I'm writing crappy entries since I usually only have barely enough time to hammer them out without running out of computer time, much less take the time to proofread or work on the composition structure.
