Packed full of information. Again it's an example of me not liking 2nd person- I don't find him misogynistic but he does expect you to shape-shift into being an average height straight (presumably white and English) man while taking the trip. I made up for this by highlighting the women, it's the washer women you learn most about taking this approach. The plague stuff made me think about covid and how lucky we are to have modern medicine. There's also some sad stuff in the food and drink section- a lot of famines - and the law sections (it was mostly about who you knew and how well you got on with them. But it not being a capitalist society yet led to some funny punishments too - if people swindled you selling bad products, their punishments would be particularly poetic! I was prepared for some cruelty in how animals were treated including rabbits but the cat stuff shocked me! Far from being beloved pets, they were instead used as animal products to make things from! Pets were things that are wild today like squirrels and sparrows! If you were nobility, you would have the pleasure of riding in a gilded carriage with such pets!
