      John, you must go to China and particularly Xi’an. The history and the people will blow you away. I spent 18 years traveling to China for business and it was the greatest experience of my life. I married a woman from Liaoning province and brought her to America. When we retire we will go back. I feel so free when I am in China!

    I am in Shandong, China, and my previous company manager was an Islamic believer. He's peaceful and humorous, the only difference from us is that he doesn't eat pork. Be careful when we eat together. This leads me to believe that Islam is not a violent religion. Poverty breeds violence, regardless of what you believe.

    The world needs more documentaries like these you have on your channel. I truly appreciate the genuine way in which Graeme shows us what the normal life is in the regions he visits..
    An antidote to the news, that shows us only statistics, highlights and negative news and not the day-by-day.
    What's Graeme doing? He needs to get to work on more of these!!!
    Graeme, have you contacted the correspondent or the school of life? Please do!!!

    I really enjoyed this one as well, I also recommend this one as it deals with the Silk Road and the ancient history of Silk and its evolution in trade, transportation on the silk road and its impact on ancient, medieval and modern industry.
    The history of silk is really an amazing testament to humankind's ingenuity and the randomness of life since Neolithic times. I hope you enjoy this episode. It turned out to be a much greater story than I was ever aware of.
    From the mythological origins of the discovery of silk, to the science behind the actual process of silk making this lecture dives into it, giving you an important economic, archaeological and social history of this silk.
    From Persia, Ancient Rome and to the modern nations of Europe silk was craved, sought, purchased and trade secrets were stolen as various peoples and enterprises sought to explore the silk industry and trade!
    An awesome presentation. Terms that Laszlo Montgomery uses throughout this episode are listed below for a better understanding!
    If you have not listened to The China History Podcast definitely check them out, I am just delving into the history of Asia and the content he provides on China is more than I could ever hope for.

    Well done Graeme! I found this truly fascinating on so many levels. Firstly the content and narration was interesting and well timed Secondly, I was intrigued by the amount of planning and execution of your shots and audio clips that went into making this video, and lastly having been to X'ian, before it rekindled so many memories. I found China so intriguing and not what I had expected to be, the cultural makeup ( as partly featured in your documentary) was extremely diverse. I look forward to watching the remaining episodes!!

      Thank you Mashi! Your kind words mean a lot. I'll keep trying to make more if I can, even if they don't all make it to my RUclips channel!

    I wonder how much time he had to research, write and deliver these stand ups. The presentation is very well done. This feels like the Discovery Channel more than National Geographic.

    I'm a Chinese and I just moved to Canada as a new immigrant, and I've never had the chance to visit northwestern China (新疆甘肃宁夏 etc)as deeply as you did, only for a couple short business trips. Your video brought me a great trip to the part of China where I want to visit the most, thanks bro. And yes, I miss 兰州拉面 a lot, damn! lol

    I can't believe I watched this whole video, thinking it was a tv or some big company production. I read the comments and needless to say, I was shocked. This quality is amazing.

    An absolutely brilliant video to the Silk Road. I have been to Xian a few times and toured as a tourist with Chinese wife and friends to guide me all around the great city & the museum of Qin Shi Huang but never as interesting as your voyage beyond the the gate of Xian's great wall. Beautifully done. Perhaps next time as the Local Muslims say "God willing".
