    The Second
    Tour To Europe

    Hong Kong

    On February 3, 1888 after spending six months in


    Calamba, Rizal left Manila and went to Hong
    Kong. During his stay in Hong Kong made the
    Following observation:
    The Dominican order was the richest religious
    order in Hong Kong. It owned more than 700
    houses for rent and many shares in foreign
    banks. It deposited million of dollars in banks.
    There were cemeteries in Hong Kong for
    protestants, the Catholics and the Muslims
    respectively.

    The

    protestants cemeteries were the


    most beautiful because of their welltended plants and clean pathways.

    Rizal Arrives in Japan

    Rizal went to yokohama and stayed at the


    Tokyo hotel. There, he was visited by the
    head of the Spanish legation, Juan Perez
    Caballero. Rizal agreed to leave the hotel
    and to stay at the headquarters of the
    Spanish Legation. Rizal and Juan Perez
    Caballero then became good friends. He
    stayed in Japan for one month and within
    that time mastered and wrote in the
    Japanese Language.

    Rizal Impression of Japan


    Rizal

    was impressed by Japan. He observed


    the culture, customs, and lifestyle of the
    people. What particularly impressed Rizal
    about japan were as follows:
    The beauty of country
    The cleanliness politeness and industry of
    the Japanese people;
    The picturesque dress and simple charm of
    the Japanese women;

    The

    fact that as there were very few


    thieves in Japan, the houses remained
    open day and night, and in the hotel
    rooms, one could safely leave money on
    the table; and
    Beggars were rarely seen in the city
    streets unlike manila and other cities.

    Rizal Arrival in San


    Francisco
    When

    Rizal arrived in San Francisco


    California, he was quarantined for six days
    aboard the Belgic, anchored off San
    Francisco Bay. He then boarded at Palace
    Hotel.
    Rizal went around to observe the city.
    From San Francisco, he started his strip
    across the American Continent, passing
    through Reno, Ogden, Denver, Farmington

    Salt Lake City, Provo, Colorado, Nebraska,


    and finally Chicago. He then reached Albany
    and later traveled along the bank of the
    Hudson River. This ended his
    transcontinental trip. Arriving at New York in
    the morning. He boarded at Fifth Avenue
    hotel. His good impressions were the
    material progress of the country: as shown
    in the great cities huge farms, flourishing
    industries, and busy factories;

    The natural beauty of the land; the high


    standard of living; and the opportunities for
    a better life offered to the poor immigrants.
    Rizal's bad impression of America, on the
    other hand, was the fat that there was no
    racial equality therein. There existed racial
    prejudice, which was inconsistent with the
    principles of democracy and freedom that
    it was known to espouse.

    25, 1888. He chose to visit this English

    Foreign affairs of England then, and a
    famous Malayongist, through a letter from
    Dr. Blumentritt.

    Movement. It aimed to attain the
    following:
    Philippine representation in the Spanish
    Cortes;
    Filipinos right of assembly;

    Filipinos

    right of association and


    freedom of thought and speech;
    Filipino participation in the government
    of the island;
    Assimilation of the Philippines to Spain,
    as its province. The goals of the
    propagandist were inspired by the
    principles of the bourgeois revolution of
    1789.

    one for Buencamino and another for his
    family in Calamba. Before he left

    their misunderstanding and why he
    could not return to Madrid. He intimated
    to Blumentritt that he would no longer
    write for the propaganda to avoid
    schism among the Filipinos in Mandrid.
