“But
that's the glory of foreign travel, as far as I am concerned. I don't want to
know what people are talking about. I can't think of anything that excites a

read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you
can't even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole
existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.”
