About this blog:	What causes people to build empires? How can millions, billions of people from a multitude of different cultures work together under one patriotic umbrella? How do you go about keeping the incredibly vast expanses together? To find out, I decided to take a tour through the remnants of three of history's greatest empires: The Russian, the Mongolian and the Chinese. And honestly, after travelling such astronomical distances this trio covers, wouldn't you agree that one might as well pop over to South Korea, which is basically round the corner?
