No Barriers
Tt is infinitely better to meet people in their homes as friends than to travel the world as ordinary tourists with only a hotel-lounge lookout,” said a Christchurch resident, Mr H. Foley, writing from Zurich, Switzerland. Mr and Mrs Foley left in May for a world tour, and so far have been to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. They both speak the international language, Esperanto. “We have never felt ourselves to be strangers,” said Mr Foley. “One has -only to
look up the ‘Esperanto Yearbook,’ telephone the local delegate, and one has at once found friends. Esperantists everywhere do everything they possibly can to help us. "My wife and I like to find out how people'really live in other lands, and with no language barriers to worry about our friends don’t hesitate to tell us.
“I was surprised to discover how much Esperantists seem to know about New Zealand, possibly because of the articles in Esperanto widely distributed by the Tourist and Publicity Department.”
