Food is legitimate, to get sushi that's fresher and cheaper but you'd have to be an extremely gluttonous person to think it to be worth it to fly to the other side of the world to eat.

Lol, you must not have a lot of American born Asian friends, but frankly neither do I for that same reason. Like of all the ways marginalized communities in history have found ways to carve their own identities, from music to rhyming slangs, American born Asians decided to be the people who would totally hire a guide in a third world country to take them through dirt roads unexplored by navigation software in order to get to some remote village that some food blogger said makes bomb ass noodles or bragging about flying from the SF Bay Area to LA every weekend just to eat Korean food.

God Xi Jinping, you got a lot on your plate nowadays, but at the very least include liberating us mentally somewhere on your list even if its at the very bottom!

No, I do have several ABC friends. We say things like it would so bomb to go to X country and eat X food but really, we'd only do it if we had a girl with us whom we were trying to impress or if the food was a sideshow to the expectation of getting laid. Of my friends and I, nobody would go through the trouble of flying to any country alone or with a bunch of male friends just to eat and "appreciate culture". That's why I said what I said.

I actually find the fob Chinese to be more willing to do things without the intention of getting laid. I had a fob friend ask me if I wanted to join them in a trip to Lake Lanier. I asked who's coming. He gives me like 4-5 names so I said those are all men, so which women are coming? He says it's just the guys and they all heard it's a pretty fun lake. Blew my mind. I said, "Lakes are not fun; women are fun." They didn't ask me back out again LOL
