| Never The Twain The mere mention of the Silk Road evokes a very different time and place, pre-Amazon.com, when trade was conducted face-to-face and merchants travelled on horseback and foot the breadth of continents to find buyers for their merchandise, returning with goods in exchange. The Silk Road was, according to Wikipedia: ... a historical network of interlinking trade routes across the Afro-Eurasian landmass that connected East, South, and Western Asia with the Mediterranean and European world, as well as parts of North and East Africa. The Silk Road includes routes through Syria, Turkey, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan and China.
