I assume you shit there and gawk at them like animals in the zoo as you are unable to speak to them?

Errrrr... I don't speak to every local.
I speak to those I can communicate with. i.e. those that speak some English. In some instances, other travellers with better language skills, have done some translating. In fact, it's amazing what I've been able to convey even when there's been no language in common.
