Generally speaking, I think it's a good idea to spend time in places you can't imagine yourself spending time in. At one time or another, for really no good reason, I have gone into soup kitchens, Baptist churches, porn shops, mortuaries, bingo parlors, Turkish baths. You learn things--typically that you don't know beans about the people there and that most of your assumptions were simplistic, naive, or just plain wrong.
