Traveling without flying
Visiting foreign countries and see interesting things, experience cultural stuff you never get to experience in your home country are fun and exciting for everyone. However, you still can feel like you have traveled to foreign countries without flying.
How? Easiest,and budget friendly way is to cook food that would be served in the particular countries. For example, you can cook Greek food such as Spanakopita (spinach & Feta cheese in phyllo pastry) or maybe Gyro (seasoned meat and vegetable in pita bread with tzatziki sauce) and maybe baklava (phyllo pastry filled with nuts,honey). Authentic food can make you feel like traveling. And even more so if decoration around you or things you wear were something related to the particular country.
I have actually found very interesting place called "British Pub". In our area, the pub is located near the mall, and decors there had Great Britain feel to it and waiter and waitress there were wearing kilts.
Just like you would not find every Japanese people in Japan wearing Kimono in daily life except sumo wrestler or someone with specific job such as people working for Inn or for special occasion such as wedding, I would think kilts is not daily life clothing in Great Britain, but it was fun to dine in at an unique restaurant.
I have ordered popular British food "Fish and Chips". It was really good. Fish was fried crispy and it was almost 8"-10" long fish fillet with fried potatoes. I really liked their special tartar sauce. My family ordered Shepherd pie and it was interesting. It had hint of curry and had Motzarella cheese and it was different from regular Shepherd pie I have made/seen on TV. You can peek their menu here.
Another thing you would find at the pub is that, they have all kinds of beers,martinis, wines.. It is too bad I don't drink. I have many bottles of beer,wines,liqueur etc at home but those are for cooking/baking. I would imagine if I drink, I would be impressed with long list of beverage menu. I am not sure if those beer is good or not but,it would be interesting to try out all kinds of beer. You can see their beverage menu here.
In main menu, I saw "Tempura shrimp" (Classic Japanese dish) and I am not sure about how authentic their menu would be, but we liked their food and service (we did not wait long for food to be served ), and we may back there again to try other food.
You can visit their website here and, see if you like them.
Do you have any favorite restaurant you like to go to for instant travel experience? (Without flying)
