It's true that it's all about the experience. The people you're with, the weather, the locals, and all other factors contribute to the overall experience. I also agree that the beach has its own charm. It's just that maybe I had high expectations when it came to beaches, especially since I am from the Philippines.
As for the local delicacies, they don't taste bad. It's just that unusual to eat bugs. I had fun eating while my friends were cringing as I munch on the crickets. 😀
I have never tasted cricket in my life 😂... Have seen where somebody consumed the raw ones.
