jfc that was slow and boring. wouldnt you know they travel the world in as short a time as they can, so its basically just 'woAh when will the next boat be [and then they are on the boat]. woAh we gove goota wait hOW LLONG for the next boat??? [and then they are on the bost] with s o m e hijinks in between. the main guy is written intentionally drab and boring so the sidekicks can shine brighter, but theyre also quite broing and annoying. also nonstop praising of colonialism which. makes sense for the time but just reads today as 'dear god shut up about britains hold on hong kong I GET IT you think colonialism was good'. racism around indigenous americans. indian damsel in distress who gets whitewashed faster than you can say Aouda. less than barely any talk of the great sights they are seeing, bar comments of how relieved Passepartout is to be in the English Part of Town™ (or how scared he is to be in the Native Part of Town™)
