China/World- Circumnavigating the Globe

Based loosely on the evidence that a Chinese fleet of ships circumnavigated the globe several years before the Europeans even discovered the New World.
I want China to be on this journey, and to mark his progress with several one-night affairs aroudn the world.
Bonus: he hits Europe as well, just for kicks. Bonus 2: The story is in epistolary style.

I've been loving China lately (after despising his character for so long), and his request just is AWESOME! Chya, China was pretty badass and technologically advanced back then.
Just one question/clarification: stupid!anon is stupid ... er, "epistolary"? Was ist das?

Canadian!OP wishes she knew German
An epistolary story is when someone uses other written media apart from narrative to tell the story. So for instance, Bram Stoker's Dracula is epistolary; it uses journal entries, newspaper clippings, and letters, but never goes into straight narrative outside of them. It's a really good way to get different sides of the same story without getting monotonous, and really is a kink of mine.
