Yes and NO, it depends on the country and the countryside.
Have you ever woke up on a train and realized you were travelling back to your departing point?
No, the central heating in my building is so hot that I often have to turn the air conditioning on to feel comfortable and protect my plants. I daren't open the windows afraid for Cucumella.
Probably NOT because I believe the only safe way to look directly at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed sun is through special-purpose solar filters, such as “eclipse glasses” . I don't think those are available here.
Will you wear "eclipse glasses" to watch the coming eclipse?
It depends what is meant by ethnic food. Generally speaking I like to taste local cooking when travelling as long as it doesn't involve insects, small birds and pets.
