ME at the Terra-Cotta Warriors and Soldiers museum
... site - about one hour north east (7 Yuan - 70p).
Xi'an is very flat, it was nice to see some hills as the bus approached the site. I had to find out which was the right stop to get off at, then find my way to the ticket office, from there it was quite a walk to the entrance of the museum, all the way many people want to sell you things. There was a lot of fur for sale here - not sure of the significance of that but ewww i didn't like ...
Hot Pot und XiDian Universität

Hot and Humid
... foot massage street, paper and surveying equipment street (this caught my fancy a little) and mobile phone unlocker street (they can also unlock PS3's and various other bits and pieces). They stare a little more here and I (martin) have begun to battle this with a stare out of my own which is beginning to come good. "You stare at me little chinese child, and I will stare right back- I am not an object of your glare". I'm gaining ...
