to figure out what's the real new deal, just reimbursing the watch. now. the visa and the roads 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 on the working the same route, but marco polo took. i wonder how much his journey stories have shaped the world.

and how much his name means to both europe. an ancient the lived in china for 17 years as being in europe for 14, walking around his home town of venice. i'm reminded of the nights i left the china and the sense of stepping into the unknown. i imagine young marco polo 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 school? in goodness, i miss young athletes from both china and 84 competing in the address of adult race

. it's a one of many vents being held to mark the $700.00 a year anniversary of marco polo stuff started by sports helps to bring us close. so it's a common ground that we can share with foreign countries. prices for an area the, to my surprise, i discovered that even 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 graduated from the university in venice. and she was working in joel to what i saw even had. she invited me to join the tracking boat team, georgia. it's a change both. it's about the joy of working together, hire 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 chaldean at a venture has remained a household name to this day. i am doing icon through the centuries. but why is he still so well? no. what is it about his journey that it continues to inspire generations, including people like me and so many young people, hundreds of years 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 what? so?

because this is only museums, historical archives, and the most importantly in the book, the troubles of marco polo, which he did into right himself. after returning from his 24 year check, he was taken prisoner during a war between fitness and genoa. his cell met the stick. hello, the pizza. they've done marco polo said 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, filipinos, 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 cost of valuable codes, silks, precious stones, spices, but also cities of people. for the 1st time, you are discovered this content novel that they would all pass corporate. we still

continuing the microphone ocean in great detail in the book. what he does like to travel along the ations, so from much but how it would be to travel this to quote today, i can help the starting thing, 1271. it took markup photos 3 years to tell some of the news to try to venetians, i buy to and d, no, 64 and 67 years old, respectively. i'm to complete the same route in just a 100 days, from bicycles. compliment performer, such as we want to pay tribute to our fellow citizen with his journey, nor following in his footsteps. when building this 12 points to paint a picture of what the soup rude is and the 3rd millennium of yeah, that's it. is that that that's something with just 2 bags each and the

camera monkey to under handlebars, the 2 friends picking the attorney from the european gateway of the sioux crowd. then the document to the entire journey. as a video diary for marco polo is the desire to new, the desire to understand they must be strategic about their choice. a few as to political attentions and the safety of the 1st things they must consider. they will do to fight. it looks like we had to slalom between wars. we had an absolutely avoid russia and we wanted to and had to avoid ukraine. flying around is also not so advisable at this time of pollution gap between which so main access to some countries is unpredictable. the

the enter as the by john unbelievable. the data missile joy, we'd been waiting since noon already been able to by the way, we will arrive in truck then actually tomorrow afternoon. committee to begin. let's face this new leaf into the void into the dark. because we are entering turkmenistan, which is in some way a peculiar country place. you know, they say, i say under my breath, because the whole check that is 2nd to north korea in terms of curtailing and personal freedoms. i look for a have been aboard a test. pnc fairy did reach the shores of took my niece to

of g 3. stage 13 we are in turkmenistan. the marco polo describe the vast, harsh deserts of central asia. most likely types of dakota comb desert in modern day took my niece, 10. nomadic tribes facilitate to trade across this inc. hospitable regions for r. that's when do you know, navigating the region by bike? we may see a significant challenge following the ations. so quote, they arrived in bukosa, one of the most well preserved be able to see teasing, central asia, it's urban separate, has to remain largely intact for more than 2 south of use. 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 big, huge strength to yourself. even you get into the site,

the panorama. that'd be great. if you mean that same feeling that the whole family also felt going slowly with duncan is a little bit on food trembling by boat point, moving, fall off the, the, the down to the sound. so we're trying to get into china and we can earlier we talk 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. so maybe this time it will work on the

a higher batch on do you know, have finally across the chinese border, but their journey isn't over yet. with their small camera, they continue documenting the adventure. they still have more than 4000 kilometers of puddling, had till they reached their final destination facing the signed lease. after a 100 days of trouble, they made it. they reached the capital city. i'm happy to meet them on a hear all about the ventures. logical gene, particularly when you travel like this on a bicycle because it's nice because you realize that the world is really better than one thinks because people help us. but not just uncle jim. even today, at 3 o'clock a stranger stopped us and gave us 2 bottles of water and a few thoughts just sort of like you gave example, global theory, the west point to the customer. where do you hydrates it to that of the 3rd man. so

forget, i'm of these, these are people helped us so much that the lesson from the symbol if we're still a valid ceiling. judge traveling always has to be an active community. you have to get closer to others. you have to share taste food. we have to share chinese taste, comb, tv, that which are not really the same as ours. we are not used to them, but that's what traveling is a boost of yet. the one of his toys on speaker accomplished something monumental. it's easy to give the inter video all the credits for the iraq, the context,

play some role component for so without adults in the right place as incorrectly the right time to leave his marks on history. i make the 2 cyclists again in the turning on the scene badging at a separation for them. and to owner component of paula was one of the many travellers so many invoice, one of the many people leaving in these a really very diversified and wide space which was the un diagnosed is changed the empire and use it for a sense when you visit, trying to reach right away in the bulk of my microphone on as called woodside here's what was allowed to call to my, to go about the religious place, where

a lot of people from foreign countries, the only leave to but also 5 to where a connection to the some are time see, no worries, far away kind of place to ation. very time. so trout, beginning, trundle, and under teen venice at home, scrapes that goodness, i can for researchers, road white. the cycle of the 21st century of economic power had pushed the venetians, as far as the black sea coast, where the last western outposts were not to be met in 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, quarrelling 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 with the substance of

this or related conditions that had never been seen before in which anyone could travel freely throughout asia without risking their lives a bit. i mean, that was the key thing called the phone. i mean the starting the peak of the among gold chains florist along the extending from that between to china, turning the cheese cities along the roads into a vibrant hospital don't yet where i am no one that sticks with a population of more than 1000000. joan yet is by no means are particularly large international city in the vast expense of china today. but one, marco polo arrived here. it was a true metropolitan hop going around. chung,

here i have discovered that many of the historical sites he mentioned in his book can still be fun. today. matt t, a temple comes on in the sub groups of john here, posts statues, and one paintings that dates back to the 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 from tell me a staff for 10 poles were legend says scope like con was for marco polo. also substituting site the,

the, the, the from a component of what to walk around. chung you today. people would surely stop and stare in as a frame or a very team and around the city. but during his visit 700 years ago, he could have been just one of many people was colored ice as the un administration categorize them. so i think that the significance is that like a ball 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 trace of china, just across from taiwan is a city where every religion funding china is represented. cuz this is on the whole thing to take all the codes, the cd lay to get you something close by. with

a 100 look on the top cushion, he will finish the microphone or some home to inside of the city of trent. joe, you will fight are religious sites, almost every states christianity. buddhism go is some confusion need some is some more all co exist here. just if let me community dates back to the 7th century and the oldest most can, china is located here. even the long last the religion of many keys has left its mark. the only set you of many can be found in the suburbs of check joe, the thing chiron. temple of who decides in the city center. you can even find statues of seem to come under, keep like on schools thing. the 13th century triangle was as diverse religions,

an emergence from all over the wall. it was less modern day, new york. it was the growth, mary time trade center during the summer, a new going to n s t. it's hard to say whether on road is more open now than it was 700, a use a c, t's blanket, w, 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 is one of only 2 for a nurse, including the music

secretion was all the cars from diploma. so we want to reach culture is for the meaning of the 6 addition is the green g, china and photo wings ration getting signed by michael porter itself. the of these chides best, a site calling it we choose to have in our exhibition 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 virginia, i was selling a lot the that i still have the light impressing my mind is now the

sound all those products as i clicked on to send anything. so that way i really so about the portal and folders travelers back to the time because i was and i was thinking about how brave a way to go to. so the sense that we don't know the one side of the med though is that you're on the on known. 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 polo felt when he finally arrived in time for them to i went to visit the places marco polo ones travel to such as it was

back is done in places like turkey wizards 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 coaches 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 books behind us created by children based on marco polo and the cultural change between china and do to lee calling you before the

this is a what a 10 year old child think of me 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 packs, then they run diagnostics. so, so very beautiful one, the, it's the wonder of the service 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 with the con, only when we traveled so far,

the which truly understand the meaning of home. just as only after saving aisha cullum, for lake rus, when you're of is what it is. it has said that marco polo left china function joke, most likely from this verified the through of history. the west has often viewed the east with a mix of fussy nation and fear. but today that sense has become beautiful. to me, europe and asia has often me read each other, reflecting both the differences and the shared humanity. it might be better if i had the freedom of the gaze before and the pushing aside just would you just as

a curiosity, said the other without arrogance, without a sense of superiority. marco polo is much 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 and count as a now history is that as gross as the most often it's through cultural traditions. thanks jack and both christine, that we are reminded how we all share that piece of history together within 7000. so in today's society, although communication has been so developed, we actually should learn more from marco polo despaired of exchanged width and tolerance for different cultures. the whole international situation is not very encouraging at the moment josephine. so we need more taller this, into the more with not the kola,

came to china and the 13th century, the emperor coupla khan aust. you've told so many stories. why have you never mentioned your hometown venice? marco polo replied because oh my stories contained my hometown go today. i can come from china to moncrief. polos hometown. it's meaningful and through dragon boat racing. it feels like i've come full circle back to venice. sides. 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,
