Continuing his travel, Battutah visits many town and cities on his way to India. An interesting thing about his travel is that wherever he goes hi is being welcomed very generously by the people. However, not just any people from like lower class, rather the middle to upper class society; like the sultan. He is always invited fro a meal or to pray together, and is given many generous and expensive gifts, even the ones that he asks for. As he describes his travels and the way that people treat him, we can see that he is being liked.
Battutah also describes the different cultures that he encounters as he starts to move further away from his own culture, as well as their rituals, and traditions. some of them are the killing of animals and eating them, or when he witnessed women being burned. His reactions seem like he is interested but also disturbed by those issues.
I think that as Battutah travels even further from his own surrounding his identity will start to change more, or at least be influenced greatly by the people, sittuations and all the things that he will encounter. And as for now, I am supprised by how lucky Battutah is when he meets new people. It seems strange that he would be offered such a great hospitality from starngers who he does not know anything about and vice versa.
