Marco Polo talks about culture more completely foreign to him than either Xuanzang or Ibn Battuta; China did not have the same religious tradition compared to where he came from. This probably is the reason why he has brief descriptions of religious life and practice in Hangzhou.

to be greatly influenced by history. Three encounters that I found the most interesting and influential are the Bantu Migration in Sub-Saharan Africa, Marco Polo meeting Khubilai Khan, and the Muslims Pilgrimage to Mecca.

The Bantu Migration was one of the most…

I refused to say a word to Polo as we walked down the hall again with him slightly in the lead this time. Once we got to the waiting area, which was just some chairs lined up against a wall, I just plopped down in a chair. I groaned as I ran my rans over my face. “You have some ball if can stand up to Brackish like that,” Polo commented setting with one chair between us. “I just want one of the last living pures to be free, is that too much to ask for,” I said to him but mostly to myself. “What…

Here’s what I mean, when I play polo it isn’t just about improving my body to meet the needs of the game, but perfecting the mental aspect of the game. Many even say sports are 98% mind. I spend hours watching film and studying the philosophy of motivation. In game, I am constantly…

When people like Polo understand the world better than others, then opportunities open. Again, there is a lesson to be learned here, and that is this: Opportunities reveal themselves to those who know. This may seem obvious at first, but people brush past the chance to grow and choose instant gratification over long term satisfaction. Marco Polo is not much different than the average American, other than the fact that he spends time…
