A year exploring the world in the footsteps of others...
"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."
- T.S. Eliot "Little Gidding" - 1943 CE
"السفر - يتركك عاجز عن الكلام، ثم يحولك الى حكواتي."
“Traveling—it leaves you speechless, then it turns you into a storyteller.”
- Ibn Battuta - 1353 CE
我們把目光投向遠方的野蠻地區 隱藏在淡淡的蒸汽的藍色透明之中 而我們的帆似地高高地像雲 樣展開 晝夜繼續它們的航向 像星星 樣迅速地穿過那些野蠻的波浪
"We have set eyes on barbarian regions far away, hidden in a blue transparency of light vapors, while our sails, loftily unfurled like clouds, day and night continued their course, rapid like that of a star, traversing those savage waves."
- Admiral Zheng He - 1431 CE (inscription on monument at Liu-Chia-Chang)
“I can’t say, over the miles, that I had learned what I had wanted to know because I hadn’t known what I wanted to know.”
