 * I am one of the best travelers of all times. When I returned to Venice, Italy, I was a stranger to my own family since I wore foreign clothes and because I was 41; I left when I was 17. I traveled Asia for 24 years and I was one of the first Europeans to travel to China and Mongolia. I wrote a book about my travels to China on the Silk Road; I became rather famous for my stories and books. Although it took awhile for the Venetians to believe me about my stories they gradually believed me and my books helped many Europeans to venture out and trade with China and the East. ||
 * I live in China, after so many years of living here I dont seem like a foreiner anymore. I eat and dress just like the Chinese but was different because I am a Christian and celebrate Christmas and Easter. I am also a little different because I have paintings of Jesus too. ||

 * =Religion= ||
 * I was a Christian;Christianity came to China not once but several times. Christianity is based on the teachings of Jesus. I pray to Jesus and think every thing that happens is chosen by God to happen for a reason. ||

1275 I have reached Kublai Khans empire and he has hired me as a diplomat. He has hired me on various missions around his empire. I stayed in his court for 17 years and then came home because I feared Kublai Khan would die and I wouldnt be able to take my riches out of the country. 1271// My uncle and father took me on my first journey to Armenia, Afghanistan, Persia and along the Silk Road to China. 1299 Today I was released from jail because Genoa and Venice came to peace and I returned to Venice to my family. ||
