he tried to busy and working 32 hours a week has to be better for the assignments and for him. but of course we shouldn't be. no, he'd be the living scientists just had subscribed, whatever you listen to had costs. the visa, who wrote component of about 700 years ago from italy to my home country of china and cells and quito meters, all the way to the porch of the legendary ruler of the one going to the working the same route that marco polo took. i wonder how much his journey stories have shaped the world and how much his name means to both. you're an ancient

the living china for 17 years as being in europe for 14 walking around his hometown a fitness i'm reminded of the nights i left china and the sense of stepping into the unknown. i imagine young michael tunnel must have felt as to say, it must have been a challenge for him 700 years ago. and it would probably be a challenge for me now as well. especially with the language that i don't know. what are they getting? well in colorado school, in venice, i miss young athletes from both china and 84 competing in attractive adult race. it's a one of many then as being how to mark the $700.00

a year anniversary of marco polo stuff. the little started by sports helps to bring us close, so it's a common ground that we can share with foreign countries. phases bring it in the, to my surprise, i discovered that even the st. louis university has its own track in boat racing team. here in tulsa, i should be good with serendipity and then you should actually mentioned go who graduation from the university in venice. and she was working in jo to and i assure you that she invited me to join the tracking boat team, georgia. it's a change both. it's about the joy of working together a higher rowing in different places, collective pride, the connection between humans and nature. please actual value, a sense of when the truck in both race is called the marco polo.

the charlie and adventure has remained a household name to this day. i am doing icon through the centuries. but why is he's do so well know? what is it about his journey that it continues to inspire generations, including people like me. and so many young people, hundreds of us later, i realize that in the city where my component was born and raised, there's no statute of him. we don't even know what he looked like as known, painting of him was made during his lifetime. his image constructed by ones because this only museums, historical archives, and most importantly in the book,

the troubles of michael polo, which he did into right himself. after returning from his 24 year checking, he was taken prisoner during a war between fitness engine on his cell met just the color that pizza. they've done marco polo set adventures and it became the most influential and detailed your pin, a kind of aisha, shaping the west front seats about the east for centuries. filipino volume that for the 1st time a book showed aisha. it's mostly to asia populations by monstrous creatures and full of wonders. it's an extremely concrete aisha. made up of course, valuable boats, silk, precious stones, spices, but also cities of people. for the 1st time you discover this content level that they would all pass corporate we still continuing the microphone. o'shea team,

great detail in the book, what he dislikes to travel along the ations. so from but how it would be to travel this to quote today i can help the starting thing 1271. it took them a component, 3 years to tell some of the news to try to venetians. i buy to and do you know, 64 and 67 years old, respectively. i'm to complete the same route in just a 100 days on bicycles, on the top of the former subject that we want to pay tribute to our fellow citizen with his journey nor following in his footsteps. so gwendolen is 12 points to paint a picture of what the soup rude is and the 3rd millennium of the other. i say that meant that some of the with just 2 bags each and the camera room on to the,

on the handle bars. the 2 friends, picking the attorney from the european gateway of the suit crowd, been the document to the entire journey. as a video diary from marco polo is the desire to new, the desire to understand they must be strategic about their choice. as to political attentions and the safety of the 1st things they must consider to be able to define it looks like we had a slalom between wars, but we had an absolutely avoid russia and we wanted to and how to avoid ukraine flying around is also not so advisable at this time when she got between points. so main access to some countries is unpredictable. the

the internet as a by john unbelievable. the data miss. we've been waiting since noon already been able to by the way, we will arrive and trick him bashi tomorrow afternoon. committee to begin. let's face this new leaf into the void into the dark. because we are entering, trick menace done. which is in some way, a peculiar country. they say, i say under my breath, the close of the whole check that is 2nd to north korea in terms of curtailing and personal freedoms. i look for a, have been aboard a cuss. pnc ferry did reach the shores of took my niece to g. for stage 13, we are written. turkmenistan name is marco

polo. describe the vast harsh deserts of central asia. most likely types of dakota comb desert, a modern day took my niece, 10 nomadic tribes facilitate to trade across this inc. hospitable regions for our bedroom, dino, navigating the region by bike, we may see a significant challenge following the ation. so quote, they arise in bukasa, one of the most well preserved be able see teasing, central asia, it's urban separate, has to remain largely intact for more than 2 se. that'd be too late. that bicycle gives you a totally different perspective. the perspective of slowness. it is a magnifying glass that makes you understand the world. yes, but i a pretty thing you have strength to yourself. even you get into the site, the panorama. that'd be great if you mean that same feeling that the polio family

also felt going slowly with duncan is a little bit on food tumbling by boat, moving off the, the, the down to the sound. so we're trying to get into china and we can earlier, we talked to a place where there was only a highway and they sent us back. and we had to go around 25 kilometers and came to another highway. somebody bought them, so maybe this time it will work on the type of batch on do you know, have finally across the type these borders. but the attorney isn't over yet with

their small camera, they continue documenting the adventure. they still have more than 4000 kilometers of puddling, had showed the reach their final destination. finally, after a 100 days of trouble, they've made it. they've reached the capital city. i'm happy to meet them and hear all about the ventures. the one the logic was eating, which is great. when you travel like this on a bicycle, it's nice because you realize that the world is really better than one thinks because people help us. i just uncle g. even today, at 3 o'clock the stranger stopped us and gave us 2 bottles of water and a few thoughts just sort of like you gave example, global theory the left for me to come to where do you hide, reset to that of the 3rd man. so forget, i'm of these, these are people helped us so much that the lesson from the small it weighs the

ceiling. jotted, traveling always has to be an active community. you have to get closer to others. you have to share taste food that we have to share, chinese taste, which are not really the same as ours. we're not used to them because that's what traveling is a cruise to get the one of his toys on speaker accomplish something monumental. it's easy to give the individual author credits, but the era, the context,

play some role. marco polo was always out to dallas in the right place as incorrectly the right time to leave his mark on history. i mean the 2 cyclists, again in the turning undersea badging at a separation for them and to owner component medical follow was one of the many travelers. so many invoice. i don't have many people leaving in these a really very diversified and wide space, which was the un diagnosed is change the empire and use it for a sense when you visit, trying to reach right away. and the color microphone on as cold side is what was allowed to call to the multi i. so the religious place where a lot of people from foreign countries,

the only leave the but also 5 to where a connection to the some are time. see no worries, far away please. the ancient marie times soap fraud beginning to enjoy and undertaking venice. it holds great significance for researchers, road white with a cycle of the century of economic power had pushed, the venetians as far as the black sea coast, where the last western outposts working on the map. and there was an encounter there with a foreign power that did something exceptional and incomparable. in human history, the mongols managed to go from a mass of semi nomadic tribes, whirling with each other into a military power capable of unifying under one power. all of continental agent, basically from korea to the borders of turkey, took the last 20 minutes. the substance of this are related conditions that had

never been seen before in which anyone could travel freely throughout asia without risking their lives. when he gets out a bit, i mean, that was the key thing that goes up on them in the starting the peak of the among bulky shades florist along the extending from the terrain to china, turning the cheese cities along the roads into a vibrant custom parts strong yet where i am no one that sticks with that population of more than 1000000 julia is by no means are particularly large international city in the vast expense of china today. but the one marco polo arrived here. it was a true metropolitan hop going around. chung, here,

i've discovered that many of the historical sites he mentioned in his book can still be found today. matt t. a temple comes on in the sub groups of john here, posts statues, and one paintings that dates back to those in diagnostic. marco polo wasn't particularly familiar with buddhism, referring to it's a speakers, as i don't think today's china various forms of buddhism remained vibrant along the ation. so croaked, tell me a stuff for 10 poles. were legend says cool. black, homeless for marco polo. also substituting site, the

of the the from a component of what to look around chung you today. people would surely stop and stare in as a frame or a very teaching and around the city. but during his visit 700 years ago, he could have been just the one of many people was colored eyes as the in a demonstration, categorize them. so i think that the significance is that lack of paul is a one of the mainly, or leave the indies, a job offer late globalization. and of course, the south of china was extremely sophisticated. the very develop turnville at the southern tip of china, just across from taiwan is a city where every religion funding china is, is representative. todd, this is on the whole thing too long. take all of the consulting the way to get a you're from from the home phone, i will hunt,

i took on the top cushion. he will produce your microphone or causing the system home. since i've seen the city of china, joe, you will fight or religious sites, almost every streets christianity. buddhism, though is some confusion, isn't it some more i'll call you because this kid's channels if let me community dates back to the 7th century. and the oldest mosque in china is located here. even the long last the religion of many keys has left its mark. the only said to of many can be found in the suburbs of check joe, the thing chiron, tempo, a boot decides in the city center, you can even find statues of king to come under cooper icon through the 13th century triangle with his diverse religions,

an emergence from all over the world was less modern day, new york. it was the rose marie time of trade centers during the summer and the un tennis. it's hard to say whether on road is more open now than it was 700 years ago. a c, t's length of germany and change all 4 of the more international and opened during more components time the it was through my co pulse descriptions that the europe 1st came to know a china in such detail inside the china millennium monument, a release depicts a 100, his target coffee goes shaped chinese history. marco polo. it's a one of only 2 for a nice. include the, he's execution was proud of diploma. so we want to be sent

to reach out here is for the meaning of the 6 addition is the green g china and photo wings ration getting signed by michael porter itself. the obese. chide best a site core. nick, we choose to have a know where it needs to be should because inspiring is telling the story of west meeting the east georgette just title, and you tell me an art historian and the one of the exhibitions curators has lived in china for almost 10 years. i remember the 1st time i lived in bay jean i was speaking to someone last so last that i still have the lighting press in my mind, this on the sound of those products as i clicked on this sent anything. so

that's the way i really so about the portal and folders travelers back to the time because i was and i was thinking about how brave they where to go to. so this thing that we don't know the one side of the med though is that you're on the unknown. but on the other side there is the excitement of learning so much. i remember i was feeling so impatient because i need to know i need to know everything now. i wonder how my co pulse out. when he finally arrived in time, the boys on to i went to visit the places marco polo once traveled to such as it was, bank is done and places like turkey he was in this house. i truly want to visit

these places. you guys, originally i only knew about his exchange between china in italy, but i didn't realize he encountered so many other interesting things you're supposed to do. but now i feel an even stronger desire to visit these places and see them for myself. but we're thinking now current and future cultural exchanges. this also offers us some insights. nowadays, the exchanges between countries around the world are becoming more frequent, and we continually commemoration reflect on these interactions in the future. and now social lives. we can be more inclusive and open to embrace the desires cultures from all over the world, engaging in friendly social interactions, even in cultural creation. for example, in the place we are now, there are many creation works behind is created by children based on marco polo and the cultural exchange between china. additionally, trying the,

this is a, was a 10 year old child thing completely. and i like this one very much because this is the imagination of how marco polo, ha, ha, ha. and what part is actually quite a popular dish. next, then they run diagnostics. so, so very beautiful one, the, it's the wonder the search to florida venture that drives us to explore a world that a few so distant and the cultures that same so different. it's just a bear. it's a thanks flora. just for every explorer of the comes on time when the pool of home grow stronger and the journey in actively leads us back to where we're only when we've traveled so far, which truly understand the meaning of home. just as only after saving aisha

color for lake rus, why here of is what it is. it is said that marco polo left china function joke, most likely from this very flight. through of history, the west has often viewed the east with a mix of fussy nation and fear. but today that's the sense has to become mutual to me, europe and asia has often me read each other, reflecting both the differences and the shared humanity. let me bet that the freedom of the gaze before and the pushing aside of prejudices. curiosity said the other, without arrogance, as without

a sense of superiority disease. marco polo is not a device to feed, unlike other travelers, because he does not approach the other trying to concourse. it meets him. and it is truly one of the account is now history that has brought us the most often. it's through cultural traditions, project, and both ways that we are reminded how we all share that piece of history together, the questions and sounds. and so in today's society, although communication has been so developed, we actually should learn more from marco polo despaired of exchange width and tolerance for different cultures. the whole international situation is not very encouraging. at the moment josephine so we need more. tyler? this into the microphone with the color came to china and the 13th century. the emperor coupla con,

asked you've told so many stories. why have you never mentioned your hometown venice? marco polo replied, because all my stories contained my hometown today i can come from china to mancha polos hometown. it's meaningful and through drag and boat racing, it feels like i've come full circle back to venice. sites the perhaps we humans are wired to feel what is different and the media, which makes the moment we recognize our collective humanity. all the more for from the,
