confirming your own privilege? priceless.
this (log-in required) new york times story begins by reminding all of us that in this era of globalization, "an authentic experience" can be hard to find. never fret, however. a direct path to authenticity--do not pass Go, do not collect $200--is available to those who pony up close to two grand for an “Andean Special Interest” trip from Peru Cultural Journeys, which may include "interaction within a traditional community and participation in its workday. Themes include traditional medicine (bone setting, midwifery); textiles (weaving); archaeoastronomy; music and dance." i don't mean to discount the revenue this probably brings to folks who are making good use of it, but: ew.
