Good Morning from Shanghai: I thought it is a good idea to write as much as possible while I am in Shanghai because the remainder of my stay will be in more rural areas. I am not sure what the internet availability will be on the cruise and in Guilin. So... My experience in Xi'an was interesting and taught me so much about the drastic differences throughout China in regards to modern facilities and economics. Xi'an is the original imperial capital and all the history of China is visible and a...

Ok, we're wheels down in Xi’an and getting settled into our rooms here. Xi’an is about 1hr 30 min flight from Beijing and then it was about 1 hr drive to the hotel. Xi’an , which means Western Peace,is one of the four oldest cities in the world with much more history that Bejing and is The other three cities are Istanbul, Rome and Athens.
More history on Xi’an to follow in tomorrow’s post. I wanted to pass on some pictures of out journey to the Great Wall...
Good Morning from Xi'an!
Our schedule is getting a little busier so I’m not having a lot of time to get my blogs in. So yesterday was our first full day in Xi’an and we hit what could be the highlight of the trip. The Forbidden City and Great Wall were an incredible experience but I have to say the Terra Cotta Warriors were just spectacular. Discovered in 1974 by some farmers digging a well for water, this discovery has become the 8th wonder of the world. Since this was the...
Ok, back at the hotel for another short break before dinner. Today we saw the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Here's a link to tell you all about the history of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Wild _Goose_Pagoda. The heat was on today, first time we had blue sky the whole trip. We then went to a local history museum which was nicely done and very interesting. Just SO much history to digest. After the museum we had lunch and then off to the Bell Tower located very center of the city. There are...

... red bean bun and a few bites of the others. Bill had a few bites of the plain bun.
Along the way we bought some round breads. They were nice and warm and tasted like pretzels. They could have used some mustard though because they were very dry. We ate part of one each and I washed my down with water and Bill had a coke. How many times have I mentioned COKE? I think the corp. should throw me some cash for the publicity! I would even go back and add the logo and capitalize the ...
... was reported to have been taking doses of the poison. In the meantime, he pressed ahead with his mausoleum in today's Lintong County, 35 kilometers east of Xi'an, designed around his fantasy that his soul could be protected eternally by the secretive and secure mausoleum guarded by the Terra Cotta army. The Great Wall, mausoleum, and ongoing wars crippled the young nation's economy and made life miserable for ...

... about "adventure" and experiencing the local "culture." But now I realize that after a full day of cultural and sensory overload, the familiarity of a western style hotel is VERY welcome. Traveling here really makes me appreciate the amenities we take for granted in the US. Julie, you mentioned the Tibetan riots and the local take on that. They have an English language newspaper here called the China Daily. The articles blame the Dali Lama for inciting the riots as a way to derail ...

... some interesting chicken impressions! In the afternoon me and Liv went to the drum tower where we saw a short drum performance which was good. In the evening we went to dinner with some of the group before following Jackie our leader to see street dancing, singing and other performances which was great fun and good to see local customs. The next day we took a bus to the Terracotta warriors, this ...
