can we go to the bell tow... no? ok then

On the train back from Xi'an ... Wait I just realized we never mentioned that. I wanna say three days ago we took an overnight train to Xi'an to see the terracotta warriors. After getting into town and being swarmed by tourguides we made our way onto a bus. It was definitely destined for the warriors, but insisted on making some interesting local stops on the way. One man came on with three or four sacks of sweet potatoes but decided he wanted off before the next stop. A woman at one stop was showering/brushing her teeth in a brick bathroom that was once indoors but was now clearly indoors. All in all the warriors were pretty epic.


After getting back into town we made our way to a Muslim restaurant and, not being able to order, pointed at things until they brought us some ridiculously good beef with fried sesame bread. The sheer caloric goodness was unfathomable.

After that we rented bikes and drove around the city walls (still covered in old parade floats/decorations from something) before our overnight sleeper back to Beijing.



Sorry Nanjing, you were cut so fast, lol. We were both tired and needed some serious Kro's nest/sleep/trek in our lives. That part of the itinerary was dropped but it was totally worth it for another day in Beijing!

Oh.. and I don't know what this is but I loves it. Reward for any info!
