I appreciate the "culture shock" sentiments, but I don't think the fact that he was foraging for food necessarily makes him a backwater native who'll blinch at the sight of horseless carriages. My dad and I used to go pick blueberries in the woods, f'rinstance. The dude ran his own lumber business and owned a pickup. Who knows, he might have even had a TV! I'm not saying there wouldn't be some adjustment, but this is not necessarily the best argument for denying him expatriation "for his own good."
