Travel Blog Comment:
I get my best travel deals when I visit a place in its off-season when it carries a real flavor of its culture along and not a formal mask specially worn for attracting visitors.
Everything I put my hands on gets me an unasked for discount, and that too quite a big one!
Also I get a much better treatment from the locals who are much more receptive in their off-season, not for business but for interaction.
And interaction with the people is what I seek for in my travels.
It's a kind of difference that is there in the attitudes of a prostitute and a sex-friend!
