Ahh the last place (for now). It definitely was a hawt place (ba dum tss).
First off, do any of you know this man named Mansa Musa? I heard of him everywhere in Mali. He seems like a famous guy. I especially love the fact that he caused inflation of gold! Maybe we should meet someday!
After going on the trade routes, I realized that there are lots of converts in Mali, which is amazing!
Now let me tell you, the trip itself might have been more interesting than the destination. The Sahara Desert is hot, too hot. Thankfully, the camels made great use. I'll definitely make sure to buy lots of them!
Even though it was hot, I didn't die (as you can tell) since it rained.
We soon arrived at Walata. However, the leader only gave me a bowl of millet with only a drop of honey and yogurt! Disgraceful! Perhaps he doesn't even know of my importance!
Also, the women, they do things with completely no respect. Where are the veils?! Why are they friends with the males?! They have the worst women out of all places! Hideous!
I then went to Sahel, where I traded some foods like rice and chicken to get some glass beads and salt. We'll see if that's worth it in the long term.
I then went to a place with a couple of palaces for Mansa Sulayman. It definitely showed its elegance well!
I do want to talk about the foods though. There are some interesting foods that I found to be quite peculiar. For example, I ate foods from camel to bread.
There's also this fruit from the baobab tree that the workers pound. Not the best, not the worst.
However, apparently killing humans to eat are regular. That sounds like disgursting shat. I would never want that as a gift. NEVER.
I love the music though. It's very showy and makes you feel exhilarated about the upcoming events.

Overall, I'll give this trip a 3/10. I can tell they try to embrace Islam into their community. However the manners of the citizens and the women are disrespectful. It definitely ruined my mood when I went to Timbuktu. Don't go here, it'll only be a waste of time and money (unless you're rich like me :P).
Also, one of my camels died. It was definitely a sad moment, but at least I decided to buy multiple.
I'm now in Fez. I enjoyed my trip throughout these places. I hope I'll be able to this again if I ever feel like it.
Make sure to like this post and comment any suggestions you have.
See ya!

Ni hao!
Honestly, the trip to China was quite dissapointing. It wasn't bad, per say, but it definitely wasn't better than Iraq.
First off, they're don't practice Islam. I think they practice Buddhism? Their commitment traits are horrible. Perhaps we should try to make them convert?
Thankfully, I didn't get lost, as many people of our kind went out of their way to lead me to China as usual.
China as I've learned is ruled by the Yuan Dynasty. They are quite welcoming and are open to Muslims.
I first arrived at Quanzhou.
The silk on their clothes is beautiful. It always catched my eyes whenever I went to place where there were lots of people.
However, I learned that they eat dogs. Why. It doesn't even sound good! How I do fear for the dogs...
Thankfully, I didn't get robbed in China. I still have all of my money, don't worry!
I then went to Beijing through the Grand Canal. I kind of forgot what happened (maybe I got drunk or something). If I remember I'll make another post ASAP.
Oh yeah! I also met a Muslim Trader. I met lots of rich people. At least the people here like to flex their richness too.
That is about it! i would give this a 6/10, so more like a meh. If you have the time and money though, definitely give it a try!
See you in my last post!

Greetings and salutations!
This is my first entry out of 3 to record my wonderful travel, where my goal is to travel around the world without dying, and hopefully learn something out of this experience!
I'll be writing about my experience in Iraq and Persia (yes I know it says Iraq, but the new technology here is too complicated and stupid! I do wonder how our younger ones deal with this type of "map making system thingy"! Wow I do miss the days of writing on paper-I digress.)
First off, I went to the wonderful place of Iraq. However, I do regret not coming here later, as I learned that the place was practically still suffering from the Mongols (curses in Arabic at the Mongols).
I do want to be quite honest though, the Mongols aren't as bad as they sound. I can tell the Mongols are doing well with the learning of Islam.
Islam had a variety of materials, such as calligraphy and paintings.
I also saw quite a few Persian and Chinese people, which was quite interesting. I rarely see Chinese people so I might go to China later.
Guess what? I found these people called the Sufi. They dance quite a lot to show, their connections to Allah, maybe we should try being them someday!

Also, if you plan on going to
Basra, don't expect too much. It's not exactly in its best shape....
Shiraz, however, still looked amazing, especially the women.
They did all of their duties with respect.
Btw, have you guys heard of the miracle of shaikh? I found it quite amusing that an elephant saved him, comment down below if that has happened to you before.
Thankfully, the tombs are still there, such as the shah chirag tomb (which look magnificent ngl).
After that, I went to Baghdad to  honor the people there. it was also unfortunately destroyed :(.
There is also a college that still runs, which is good, because I don't exactly feel assured if our kids are dumb people,
2 words: BATH HOUSES
The people were extremely welcoming, and I adored the bath houses I got to use.
The king is also very welcoming himself. He's basically an all rounder with all of his talents! I do feel bad for his death. It's only because he was too good for this world.
Lastly, I visited Tabriz. I did feel a tad sick so I couldn't visit for a long time. However, the churches were exquisite!
Anyways, I'm taking a mini break before I travel again.
Overall 9/10. Everything was great, except some were ruined because of the Mongols. I won't blame them for that...
Hope we'll meet again soon!
