When we think of the word "Asians", we often think of Chineses or Koreans or Japaneses or east Asia in general. But Asia is a huge continent, a vast land that spread over thousands and thousands of kilometers. And Kares Le Roy created this project, the 56000km project across Asia, bringing to us the isolated, the forgotten of Asia through photos and videos, as to say, "All these are part of Asia too."
I want to point out one thing which is, Kares Le Roy is French. I find it interesting because it seems to me that French loves to travel, especially backpacking. I even think I somehow picked up this travel habit by simply staying in France. Not saying that French gave me the idea of backpacking, but they certainly taught me how to backpack.
Back to Kares' works. It is worth mentioning because I think his works are very well done. I say this because watching his videos makes me want to go to wherever he had been to, like now! I always want to travel like Marco Polo or Sven Hedin. Their works really inspired me. And now this guy, Kares Le Roy. One day I am going to do something like what they did.
Just like I mentioned before, Asia is really vast. For example, after travelling to China and India, I just realized that so many people have never seen the sea, the ocean and the horizon before. I found myself in many peculiar occasions explaining to them, how the sea and the horizon look like. I had to explain in ways I had never thought of before, in adjectives I had never used before, in emotions I had never felt before. Something so obvious and so familiar to me, isn't that obvious and that familiar after all.
