Does travel broaden the mind?

One often hear people say that travel broadens the mind: if you stay in your own country the whole life, your ideas remain narrow; if you travel abroad you see new customs, meet new people, eat new food, do new things, and come back home more broad- minded.

But does this always happen? An acquaintance of mine who lives in England had never been abroad; until last summer he decided to go to France for a trip. When he returned, I asked him how he liked it. “Terrible,” was his answer. “I couldn’t get a nice cup of tea anywhere. Thank goo dness I’m back.” I asked him whether he had any good food while he was there. “Oh, the dinners were all right,” he said. “I found a little place where they made quite good fish and chips. Not as good as ours ,mind you , but they were acceptable. But the breakfasts were terrible：no bacon or kippers. I had fried eggs and chips, but it was quite an effort getting them to make them. They expected me to eat rolls. And when I asked for marmalade, they brought strawberry jam. And do you know, they insisted that it was marmalade? The tr ouble is they don’t know English.”

I thought it useless to explain that we borrowed the word “marmalade” from French, and that it means, in the language, any kind of jam. So I said, “But didn’t you eat any of the famous French food?” “What?Me?” he said. “Of course not! Give me good old English food every time. None of those fancy bits for me!” Obviously travel ing had not broadened his mind. He had gone to French determined to live there exactly as if he were in England and had judged it entirely from his own English viewpoints.

This does not, of course, happen only to Englishman in French. People of all different races, in all foreign countries, can be found judging what they see, hear, taste, and smell according to their own habits and customs. People who are better educated and who have read a lot about foreign countries tend to be more ready to accept and adjust to foreign things, but this is because their minds have already been broaden BEFORE they start travelling. In fact, it is easier to be broad-minded about foreign habits and customs if one’s acquaintance with th ese things is limited to books and films. The Americans smile tolerantly over the absence of central heating in most English homes when they are themselves comfortably seated in armchaird in their centrally heated housed in Chicago; the Englishmen read about the sanitary arrangements in a certain tropical country , and the inhabitants of the latter read about the London fogs ,and each side manages to be detached and broad-minded. But actual physical contact with things one is not used to is much more difficult to bear. Physical differences are not so difficult to adapt oneself to as religious, ethical and irrational ones. Indonesians are trained from earliest childhood to give and receive things with the right hand only. The left hand is considered unclean. When a foreigner offers a Indonesian something with his left hand ,or holds out his left hand to take something he is being offered, the Indonesian may explain this action rationally as arising from a difference in custom, but the deep prejudice against the use of the left hand, which he has been lectured about over and over again since he was young, will not be so easily done away with.

There are some travelers who adapt themselves so successfully to foreign customs

and habits that they are often severely criticized by their more stubborn fellow countrymen. If they are Asians, they are accused of having become “Westernized”, and if they are Europeans, people say they have “gone native”. Which is better,: rigid, self-satisfied prejudice against foreign things or loss of your certainty that your own country’s habits and customs are the only right ones ,and hence the inability to be one of the herd any longer?

Perhaps the ideal would be that travel could make people tolerant of the habits and customs of others without abandoning their own. Shouldn’t the standard for judging a foreigner be: Does he try to be polite and considerate to others? instead of: Is he like me?
