Not saying that in a judgey way. Just as an observation.
Shrug.
Understanding cultures in depth by being a tourist? I am pretty sure that is a pretentious pipe dream compared to realizing that for the most part there is more diversity within a national culture than between different national cultures and thus trying to play expert cultural anthropologist is really for the academics and academic wannabes. OMAAT puts on none of that pretension, right?
