He never stepped a foot outside Bengal to the best of my knowledge. Definitely not outside India. His knowledge of Africa was through books from National Library in Kolkata. Imagine producing something without the help of internet. I couldn't write this 1 pager without internet! Writing a book of that magnitude.... well that's something else.

This is how I learned to imagine dada!! Being like apu, and the rest of the bunch!! This shows how our temples are so damn powerful!! Creating a universe that we will never get to see!!
