Spring 1997 (5.1) Just hearing the name "Marco Polo" conjures up images of fantastic adventures in exotic places. Of all the explorers who traveled the Silk Route from Europe to China during the Middle Ages, he is by far the most famous. "Marco Polo's Travels," which vividly describes his 24-year journey in the late 1300s, continues to capture the imagination of readers today, even as it did hundreds of years ago. Now, more than 700 years later, a small American-based expedition team from GlobaLearn is making it possible for 90,000 students from all over the world to retrace Marco Polo's historic footsteps without leaving their classrooms. The idea came from GlobaLearn's 28-year-old Founder and President Murat Armbruster. For little more than the price of a telephone call, he realized that he could make far corners of the globe come to life for a virtually unlimited number of students, simply by sending an expedition team to explore an area and having them post daily reports on the World Wide Web.

October 4, 1996 Eating Out Off the Highway Motel Meals, Strip Mall Trips Marco Polo Restaurant 2200 South IH-35 (at the Quality Inn), 445-5563. Open Daily. Lunch, 11am-2pm; Dinner 5-10pm T he trusted friend I'd invited along on this particular restaurant expedition finally arrived at the table and said, "I drove by this place four times because I just couldn't believe you'd ask me to a motel restaurant." I explained that the cuisine at Marco Polo had come highly recommended and encouraged her to sample one of the delicious pan-fried pork dumplings with soy ginger vinaigrette ($3.75). Next there was a shredded pork with hot garlic sauce ($6.95) and a mountain of shrimp fried rice ($5.95). By the end of the evening, any misgivings we'd had about dining at a motel restaurant with a menu made up of Oriental and European dishes were completely erased. Marco Polo owners John and Alice Yim chose to name their new restaurant after the legendary Italian globetrotter who visited the Orient (1274-1295), served Mongol leader Kubla Khan and returned to Europe at age 42, carrying spices and richly detailed descriptions of Oriental foods and cooking practices. They've designed a menu that features mostly Chinese dishes plus a sampling of Japanese, French, Italian, and American offerings. Patrons can order from the printed menu or opt for the daily buffet and salad bar. Considering the careful preparation and good quality of the food, the buffet price of $5.95 for lunch and $7.95 for dinner is more than reasonable.

MARCO POLO Marco Polo (1254-1324) was a Venetian explorer and merchant whose account of his travels in Asia was the primary source for the European image of the Far East until the late 19th century. Marco's father and his uncle had travelled to China (1260-69) as merchants. When they left Venice to return to China, they were accompanied by 17-year-old Marco. Travelling across central Asia, the Polos arrived in 1275 in Shan-tu, the summer capital of Kublai Khan, and the Mongol emperor of China. Marco soon became a favourite of the Khan and for 17 years roamed through China in his service. Toward the end of this time, however, the Polos increasingly desired to return home, but the Khan was unwilling to part with them. In 1292, however, he consented and allowed them to sail to Persia on a diplomatic mission, and they were finally able to reach Venice in 1295. Shortly afterwards, Marco was captured by the Genoese in a naval battle and imprisoned for a short time. In prison, he dictated an account of his experiences to a well-known writer. Although full of systematic detail, The Travels of Marco Polo was received with astonishment and disbelief. After reports by other travellers to China verified portions of his tales, they stimulated Western interest in the Far Eastern trade and influenced people like Christopher Columbus. Marco's account stood virtually alone as a description of the Far East until it was supplemented by the chronicle of the Jesuit missionary Matteo Ricci, in 1615.

Stage Index Santa Cruz Metroactive Home Archives Polo's Pony: Ashkon Davaran plays Katib in the Players Group production of 'Marco Polo.' Photograph by Klea McKenna How Low Can Polo Go? In an inspired revisionist comedy, Marco Polo is a lech and a scoundrel By Mike Connor ACCORDING TO HISTORICAL record, Marco Polo, the son of a Venetian merchant, allegedly traveled around Asia for 24 years in search of trading routes. A few years after his return to Italy, Polo was imprisoned for unexplained reasons, during which time he supposedly dictated his book, Description of the World , to his cell mate, the Arthurian romance novelist Rusticello de Pisa. Writer/director Ali el-Gasseir takes the tenuous myth of Marco Poloauthor, explorer extraordinaire and discoverer of spaghettiand fleshes it out into the sordid, oft-times hilarious story of a lecherous businessman. Here Polo is a man whose most exciting adventures in Asia only revolved around great deals ("I once made 150 percent profit trading salts for musk!"), a man who, without the better judgment of his cell mate, would have named his book Yellow Fever: Marco Polo's Romp in the Brown Eye of Bangkok Cut to bedroom scene, where a sleazy, silk pajama-clad Marco Polo (Richard Thierot) is groping Constanza (Jessica Hammon), a pouty, pregnant prostitute who wants to get married. She corners the reluctant Polo with the Genovese law that deems premarital sex a crime punishable by death. The smooth-talking Polo succeeds in charming the pants off her, but lands in jail anyway after he's accused of spying by Constanza's jealous client Angelo (Kenneth Rudnicki).
