Our new hotel room in Xi'an. No more twin beds!
Our first stop for today was a factory where we learned about the terracotta warriors, ate a crappy lunch (maybe... I may be making this part up), and had the opportunity to buy our own miniature (or life sized) terracotta warriors. They had these really nice globes. One was retailing for 1800 Yuan ( about $270. This dude knocked the price down to 1000 Yuan ( $150) but I really don't need a cool expensive globe.
I bought the little pig magnet. So cute.
I liked the way this looked... so I took a picture.
Hot Springs
After that, we went to some defunct hot springs that the emperor used to chill at.
Here are one of the baths.
There was a story on the wall. I didn't understand it, but I think the guide explained it... The only problem was we were outside, and it was so damn hot.
Jason
I dunno what this is.
And the cool American couple
Once again, our awesome tour guide.
We saw pomegranates growing on trees. I was excited.
Haha, in China nobody cares about your brand.
Finally, on our way to see the Terracotta Warriors!
But we passed by this cool statue.
Terracotta Warriors
The entrance to see the terracotta warriors is, like, 50 million miles long. Lucky they put this sign here.
After our long trek, and 2 or 3 entrance gates (no joke) we finally reached the warriors.
Saw this guy outside
Then back for more warriors
After that, we were all pretty tired. (Including Sammy, a cool dude from the U.K.)
While lazing about, we saw a grasshopper.
That night we went out on the town for a little bit. We ate at some gross old place that turned the lights off on us. Ended up in this private booth karaoke bar, but we left pretty quickly. We may have seen some dead puppies. I don't know, everything was pretty crazy. I think they were alive, but Amy assured me they were not. Some guy was selling them, either way.
