I blame smartphones, not globalization for losing touch with local culture/people. It's very different travel experience, if you have translator in the phone and navigation and don't need to rely on locals as in older days, I'm glad I experienced traveling prior smartphones went mainstream, I'd have much less stories to tell if I had contemporary smartphone.
