We are in our second city, Xian. Much older yet much more like a modern city. We saw the Terra Cotta Warriors yesterday, wow. If you have not heard of them yet, you will. Tourism here has exploded since the discovery of the warriors in the mid '70s and there is new construction everywhere...
Food has really been delicious and interesting. Tom and Leah are loving it. As for me, i'm sooo ready for a chicken caesar salad!
Traffic here in Xian is not as heavy as Beijing but it is just as chaotic and scary. It is amazing that between the bikes, electric scooters, buses, cars and tons of people that haphazardly make their way through every intersection that there seem to be no accidents! Also surprising that everyone is driving newish Hondas buicks nissans and even jags.
Here are a few more shots of our adventures. Tonight we head to Cheng Du to meet the pandas, this is what Leah has been looking forward to most.
