IF you want to experience the closest thing to time travel

For example, if you want to go deep into the past in some ways you likely could still do this many places on earth where people ordinarily are not educated formally. When I went in 1985 to India and Nepal it was like (many times) going back 1000 to 2000 years in time for me and my family. We spent 4 months in India and Nepal where this was the most true. We also went to Thailand and Japan but Thailand and Japan people are educated mostly. But, this wasn't true of either India or Nepal when we went there. So, one's experience could be in many ways meeting people who had never even been to first grade in school where you might have this deep past experience where often people didn't even watch TV or listen to the radio.

One interesting thing I found is that people like this since they didn't read or write tended to be much less fearful in general because they were not bombarded by world news every single day. So, their lives often were much more simple and sweet and everything was okay until something imposed itself onto their lives from the outside. So, in  this sense they lived like their ancestors had in some ways unchanged for hundreds or thousands of years.

So, for example, you could ask them "How long has your family lived here?" and often they would say something like:"We have always lived here and no one has been more than 10 miles from this location ever."

For an American or a European this is an almost impossible statement to take in. But, it also should be said that there are people who have lived in their own communities here and have never left for 200 years or more here including especially Native American communities unless they were relocated at some point.

Regarding traveling into the future. Now imagine people who have never been educated at all being hired by someone as an au pair (baby sitter or governess) and coming to the U.S. or Europe with no knowledge of TV, radio or reading or writing of any languages.

Sometimes go talk to someone like this and ask them what they think about their experience of coming from a 3rd world country to the U.S.

You might be surprised what they have to say if they feel safe enough to be honest with you.
