I just took the SAT's today and I immediately thought "The correct change would be, 'It's really dumb when people travel to another country just to stay in a hotel and eat food from home.' "

Cool story and everything. But nobody give a fuck.

I went to Italy 6 years ago and I didn't eat exotic food or food I can't normally find in my country. Surprisingly I could never get a pizza.

But people go for different reasons. For example, i wouldn't go to Italy for the food, because I'm a picky eater. Some people may go solely for the food. And for some people, staying in the hotel room all day is fun for them. To each their own.

Why the need to go to a hotel room in Italy if there's a hotel closer to home?

Yeah the problem with this post is that it assumes if we go to a place we should be eating the local food. It's possible that some travelers are concerned about eating exotic food because it might give them an upset stomach (very common), or they have some other reaction to it. And more importantly, I think people mainly go places to see landmarks, famous places etc. So I don't think it's "dumb" as you say to perhaps just eat at the hotel.
