2nd Reflection

     I'm prefer Marco Polo as a famous explorer, because he's  brave person and he inspired many other explorers. Marco Polo was born in Venice around 1254. His father Niccolo Polo and his uncle Matteo Polo were wealthy merchants who traded with the middle East. I'm really admire him because, he was an Italian voyage, and merchant who was one of the first Europeans to travel across Asia through China, visiting the Kublai Khan in Beijing. Marco Polo and his father spent about 24 years for their travelling. He had previously made a trip to China from 1260-1269, during which the Kublai Khan, the conqueror of China requested holy oil blessed by the pope. He's sailed south from Venice, Italy in the Mediterranean sea to the middle east. Other than that, he's explored the area south of Beijing, including Yuan and Szechuan. He continued his voyage until he returned to Venice, Italy. In fact, Marco Polo's written accounts of his travel were the first Western record of Forcelain, Coal, Sun powder, Printing and also his wrote "Book of Ser Marco Polo" around 1928. Lastly his so talented and strong sense person who always try to doing an exploration.
