I think that might work as a tourist, but it seems like going to epcot and learning about the world through its "taste a handful of skittles" approach.

I tried learning to speedreading a long time ago, and found my enjoyment went down the faster I tried to absorb the text.

It seems to me slow down and enjoy it is better.

But I don't know the answer if you have time constraints. Is a bad experience better than no experience?
