The second kind of false travel is travel for conversation, in order that one may talk about it afterwards. I have seen visitors at Hupao of Hangzhou, a place famous for its tea and spring water, having their picture taken in the act of lifting tea cup to their lips. To be sure, it is a highly poetic sentiment to show friends a picture of themselves drinking tea at Hupao. The danger is that one spends less thought on the actual taste of the tea than on the photograph itself. This sort of thing can become an obsession, especially with travelers provided with cameras, as we so often see on sight-seeing buses in Paris and London. The tourists are so busy with their cameras that they have no time to look at the place themselves. Of course, they have the privilege of looking at them in the pictures afterwards when they go home, but it is obvious that pictures of historical places can be bought everywhere, what is all this bother about your taking pictures? As these historical places become places to be talked about afterwards instead of places tob e looked at, it is natural that the more places one visits, the richer the memory will be, and the more places there will be to talk about. This urge for learning and scholarship therefore impels the tourist to cover as many points as possible in a day. He has his hand a program of places to visit, and as he comes to a place, he checks it off with a pencil on the progam. I suspect such travelers are trying to be efficient even on their holiday.

This sort of foolish travel necessarily produces the third type of false travelers, who travel by schedule, knowing beforehand exactly how many hours they are going to spend inVienna or Budapest. Before such a traveler departs, he makes a perfect schedule for himself and religiously adheres to it. Bound by the clock and run by the calendar as he is at home, he is still bound by the clock and run by the calendar while abroad.
