Does any language problem arise in a new place?
I used to worry about this in the early days of my travel. Now, in the light of my travelling experience in fifty countries I can assert with conviction that language is no barrier to world travel. With a little knowledge to communicate in English, there is no difficulty in obtaining information in any city in any country. At same time, it is not necessary that people should understand English wherever you go. I had seen many people in many parts of China, Japan and Korea who did not have the least knowledge of English language. There were instances of conveying messages to the cab drivers through sign languages and sketches in many cities. All these are funny experiences of my journey.
