Prompt #2 Book

The hardest thing for me to understand is how Bryson can believe so adamantly in European stereotypes but never so much as actually have a conversation with them. He may talk to one or two people every now and again, but he vast majority of the time his is walking by himself.
It occurs to me now that Bryson is incapable of having a conversation because he only speaks English. But still, I would have thought someone as cultured and well-traveled has Bryson would know not to put too much stock in gross-generalizations.
