We are on the road. First up was a 12hour train ride to Xi'an(西安）. We stayed in a ridiculous hotel for $100US for the night. Saw some terracotta warriors as well as a hilarious dance recreating the prince's burial. 
西安 also had a neat night market where we got to eat lots of yummies and I bought some more dried figs. There was also a fish market complete with fish, shrimp, eels, crawdads, turtles of various kinds, crabs and lots of fish guts in the street.
We then got on another train for 12 hours then on a bus for 7 hours and are now in a place called XiaHe. It is a little town mustly agricultural with a large buddist monestary.
Some of the people on our trip are ridiculous. I dont know how I will survive to the end. The complaining is endless. And being trapped in trains and busses with then or eating meals is unbearable. Too reliant on US ways of life, too self centered and too arrogant. I climbed a mountain this morning while most were sleeping.

so glad to see another installment, especially on the road. Really like the pic as proof you and the terracotta warriors met. Sorry to hear you are corralled with some poor travelers. How are the trains and busses you've been booked on?
ps...........make sure to get some obnoxious pictures of the complaining creatures...who knows could make a good project!
Great photo of you and your buried soldier buddies! I've always wanted to go to Xi'an and see them. Despite the whiners you're getting to see an amazing breadth of stuff. I want to hear all about the Buddhist caves and the monastery...hope you don't implode while being trucked around on a bus with 20 americans who refuse to eat anything you can't find in a 7-11. LAME SAUCE.
I hope I was not one of the horrible people on the trip...though I quite agree with you, there were quite a few.
