Wait, why start with tourist traps? I skipped the big sights and just wandered into a neighborhood bakery at 7am—got chatting with the owner over burnt croissants. Ended up helping fold dumplings at his aunt’s place that afternoon. Locals don’t live in guidebooks; they’re arguing over parking spots or watering sidewalk plants. I asked dumb questions (“Why’s this street smell like ginger?”), said yes to weird snacks, missed two trains ‘cause someone insisted I try their cousin’s secret noodle stall. Time’s tight? Perfect. Rushing forces you to stumble realer than any itinerary.
