"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

So the Franklin Institute is renowned for its incredible exhibits. It's new one is here! Ghengis Khan exhibit! This exhibit looks incredible, the armor, architecture, and art. I usually go to these being only a half hour away.

Kublai Khan is pleased with his grandfather being remembered.

That guy is AWESOME!  I know next to nothing about Khan but damn, I think this guy comes close to the idea of what the Khan is in my head.  Except a lot cleaner.

I feel like he has bad temper but it may just be a stereotype

Certainty of death. Small chance of success. What are we waiting for?

The image linked above that I quoted is from the Netflix series, Marco Polo.  Its a great show- couldn't speak to historicity as I know almost nothing about that period in time in Asia, but the costumes and sets are sumptuous and its a very sexy show, overall, and I don't just mean carnally.  Its beautiful, the acting and pacing are top notch, and the overall quality is exactly what you'd expect out of a big budget mainstream show.  Of course, there is some Hollywood flair there but it is still worth watching- plus, its basically free so there's that to consider.
