They learned how lucky they really have it in America. Its crazy what we take for granted and how much we focus on just plain, dumb stuff instead of trying to make ourselves better and help our loved ones, everyone. We need to learn that we need to love each other and care for each other even when we got our own problems, you cant just get mad at other people for your own problems especially if your the one who caused them.

Denis and Francis finally reached Hong Kong and wanted to go out in style, so what did they do? They left by ship just like Marco Polo did. Denis and Francis had to actually sign up as crew-members to go on the ship and sail to India. They couldn't believe that they were doing this.

For Marco Polo the Journey in the Taklimakan desert was rough. He got lost and he actually had to use the ways of the natives there to live and survive while he was staying there. For Denis and Francis they followed the silk road and apparently it was very cold instead of warm. They also had a very hard time trying to buy camels since they wanted to ride camels through the desert.

For Marco Polo Balkh was a very dangerous place. Some of his men were attacked , captured and sold. As for Denis and Francis they were accidentally ambushed and were threatened to leave the area. Luckily the men who captured them were looking for other people and not actually them.

During Marco Polo's time the people of Persia didn't get many foreigners so they were very interested to see what Polo had to offer and his reasoning's for being there.  For Denis and Francis they had the same experience but instead of just being able to get up and leave to Afghanistan they had to wait for their visa's to allow them into the country. They were guarded by Afghan's and had to dress like Afghan's.

While Denis and Francis travel through turkey and hit Iran they find out its not as easy as they thought it would be to get into the country. Denis and
Francis had to work hard to try and find a way into Iran. Their were certain parts that they were not allowed to go into. When it came down to Marco Polo they were pretty open to letting him pass into the country.
