And if I went back in time to 1300, what would they think of me? Would I be able to blend in? Would they think I'm weird?

Life back in 1300
I have no idea what peoples lives were like centuries ago. Say in 1300 or whenever. Were the common people mostly hungry all the time? Constantly suffering from plague, disease, illness? Was life short, nasty and brutal? How did they entertain themselves? They didn't have the Internet, nor TV, nor books (and they couldn't read anyway).
And what would they think of our modern world?
