The Silk Road – a journey filled with hospitality

9000 kilometres, 8 pairs of shoes and countless encounters with people of many different cultures. A recount of a walking trip along the ancient Silk Road from Istanbul (Turkey) to Almaty (Kazakhstan) through a world unknown to most of us. A world full of people with a hospitality almost unheard of in the West. This led to many surprising encounters highlighted in this talk by Bart-Jan van Rossum (WUR).
