If i was a trader i would trade over through India, middle east, Portugal and France. I would try to increase my profits by buying materials from India and bring it to Portugal and France and i would earn more profit because in india goods r sold for cheap but in France and Portugal it is very costly so i would earn more profit also i would buy the attar and perfumes from middle east and sell it in France and but cotton and soo many clothes from India and sell it in middle east for big prices. Through this way I would earn profit. The most scariest thing as a trader is travelling through the oceans . When a storm hit it is a live or die matter if u try hard to protect the ship u escaped otherwise u would die , my real place is Portugal so i am very rich but i still go through that business because u don't have to be worried about ur family because I stored everything for them . My most profit gained time was when Vasco da Gama found seas route to India so through that i gained soo much profit . I participated in the war of looting India and got some through that but i thought stealing is not my habit so I gave it to the tribal living in the forests and i made my way back to home. sometimes France people would bring some instruments to measure my goods I don't know what it was . also in middle east i saw how they made perfumes but it was an instrument i never saw in my life at that time i knew that many countries have their own specialties now I live happily with my family in Portugal and my sons took over the trading so I am resting in my home peacefully now but i still miss the voyages I went through the sea.
