If you hire a driver, or use a taxi, offer to pay the driver to take you to visit their mother. They will ordinarily jump at the chance. They fulfill their filial duty and you will get easy entry into a local’s home, and a very high chance to taste some home cooking. Mother, driver, and you leave happy. This trick rarely fails.
This one I find curious; wouldn't this require strategic small-talk first? Or are there places where you can literally get into a cab, and when the driver asks you where you want to go, you ask to see his mum?

I’d guess you’d have to read the room.
