As I get my first glimpse of a Gobi Desert camel, I recall reading about an Abu Dhabi TV show, Poet of the Millions, which is watched by 70 million people. Poets recite verses and the audience votes by texting. “Camels” is one of the topics. It is now my turn to get on a camel.
Before me, a camel kneels down. A driver guides my foot into a stirrup. A colorful pink tapestry beneath my saddle is proof I am on the Silk Road near Urumqi, capital of China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
