For Schultz, a 77-year-old man, this is a chance of a lifetime. Schultz is part of a group of around50 Germans who are on a bus journey along the ancient Silk Road.
Speaking of his journey, he says: “I have been deeply interested in the Silk Road since I was a child, but now I finally have a chance to experience it.”
