Thrills of Travel
Albert van Gansewinkel (1903-1999) was the Father Rector of the University of San Carlos in Cebu City. In 1953, he traveled from Italy to his homeland Germany and wrote a travelogue of his trip, which was published in the newspaper of his alma mater, The Carolinian. Interestingly, van Gansewinkel constantly refers to the Philippines in his account of his incursion in Europe, and even has slides about San Carlos available to show to those interested. The trip narrative works then both ways: he tells the Philippine public about Europe, highlighting differences such as the weather, traffic, or the structure of the city, while telling Europeans about the Philippines.
