1. Visit local markets and grocery stores. Note the peculiarities, the differences. Observe the daily life bustle. Sample foods. Talk/listen to vendors. Barter like it's my job. Take too many photos of seemingly mundane things.
2. Send postcards and write them in parks or cafes. Carefully choose images to reflect the recipients. Take too much time doing that. Ideally write in a scenic spot/next to a window. At least 5. Remember to say "I love you and I miss you." Hug them before posting.
3. Sample the best dessert in the city/country! Ask a local what the best dessert is and where to find it. Find it. Eat it. Love it. Repeat. A lot.
4. Hang out with locals. Ask them to teach me how to say things in their language. Ask them about their daily lives. Ask them what they like best about where they live. Just ask them.
5. Compare and contrast the city & countryside. Admire the transition. Note the changes in scenery. Note the differences in pace, people, colors, life. Fall in love with the country. Avoid mosquitoes.
