Hi there, I'm John Green, this is Crash Course World History, and today we're going to talk about the Silk Road, so-called because it was not a road, and was not made of silk. So this is a t-shirt. It was designed in Belgium and contains cotton from both Brazil and Texas, which was turned into cloth in China, stitched in Haiti, screen-printed in Washington, sold to me in Indiana, and now that I am too fat to wear it, it will soon make its way to Cameroon or Honduras or possibly even back to Haiti. Can we just pause for a moment to consider the astonishing fact that most t-shirts see more of the world than most of us do? Mr. Green, Mr. Green, but t-shirts can't see the world because they don't have eyes. Look me from the past. It's difficult for me to isolate what I hate most about you because there is so much to hate.
