Battutah arrives at Baghdad. He praises it as the most magnificent of all the cities and places. In Baghdad there is a sultan who lost his son, and Battutah is told to attend the funeral service, however he does not want to go; instead he is forced to attend it. This is starnge for me because he seems to be liked by all the people in places that he visits, and in here he is welcomed and cared for and pays back with such a disrespect. Battutah should show the same hospitality as people are showing to him.
As he travels, he will start to encounter customs that are different from his andthat will start to influence his identity. It would be good if he would start to do the things that are being done in the cities and towns that he visits; treating it as showing respect and understanding to other cultures, and not thinking of it as shameless.
