The remaining topics are still very good interests to research but , combining them in cohesive way is the hard part. So, what do you do when the plan goes awry? \u00a0My research was stalled slightly, \u00a0but at the same time I was well engaged into studying the geography of the region. During our reconstruction period I explored several different cities while we worked out the kinks of our project . Our map test gave me the opportunity to understand exactly what I was dealing with. \u00a0Pinpointing areas in the Tarim Basin was very interesting. While I was studying I began to realized just \u00a0how phenomenal it was for a man up in age like Xuan Zang \u00a0to \u00a0have traveled through parts of this land.<br \/>\nXuan Zang&#8217;s \u00a0story is amazing and I&#8217;ll admit it inspired me.

I think about his journey and his challenges.
