When my son was in middle school one of his teachers put together a trip to Italy and Greece to see historical sites. A busload of us went all over. Two-star travel arrangements the entire way- what a hoot. On the red-eye flight over my friend George and I befriended the stewardesses and emptied their stash of Glenlivet. An Orthodox Greek, he learned to speak the language as a kid and that got us in to see a small portion Athens in the raw.
Some of the boys that went over without their parents started acting up on night and George and I gave them a little lesson on how men need to act.

I do both, its good for my wife and I to get away together. Three weeks in Europe this past Summer with the kids was a blast.
Everyone on the internet owns at least one Ferrari, and takes three week European vacations at exclusive resorts, lol.

It's like people from NY or Boston you can tell be the accent.
Well I have a sister-in-law who lives in France, so it was not all that $.

Yeah I got a lot of that at first.
I had a friend from Dublin while there whose accent was so thick he had to speak German so I could understand him.

Mooching of your relatives. No doubt she had to babysit while you and yours went out on the town.

I've tried some of these.
Balut looks repulsive but taste like a hard boiled egg with chewy bits. Anticlimactic.
Helmet. I've tried it and it's not big deal either. Same with chicken feet. You just grill the skin till it's crispy and eat the skin. Not bad actually but it's like eating crab...more work than you get from it. They also grill chicken intestines.
Dinuguan is just their spin on blood sausage. Usually eaten for breakfast with rice and a fried egg. It's actually quite good.
Pinikpikan is little different than any other grilled or rottisery chicken you've ever head. Which is to say it's pretty darned good. It's just the method of preperation is a bit bizarre.
Papaitan would be hard for most Americans to like because of it's combination of bitter and sour flavor which is a flavor profile Filipinos love but is an acquired taste for most Americans. Better than Papaitan is Goat Head Soup which is knock your socks off delicious.
But even better than Goat Head Soup is Bulalo which is a Filipino soup made with beef shank, sweet corn, cabbage and bok choy and it is seriously good eats. This is a dish any rural Midwestern can relate too.
Sorry, but I'll leave the fried intestines and "brain food" to you.

I was gonna say. I know a lot of people from Toledo and they sound pretty much like I do. Now a lot of people in southern Ohio have hillbilly accents.

No kidding. That's why we need to build a wall on the north shore of the Ohio river to keep all those damned hillbillies out.

Actually the Wall should be across the State north and south of Columbus.
