My favorite past time is going places and getting drunk with the locals. Really.

Hey, me too! Really! Jimmah also.
Really one of the best ways to get a feel for what a place is like, outside of the usual tourist places.
Spent some time in a couple of local bars in Istanbul like that, off the path where tourists go. No one spoke english but damn they were friendly! It was pretty great.
