China Trip - Part 5

This morning we went to visit the Terracota Warriors outside of Xi'an.

I guess Vanna was a bit tired ;-)
First, we visited a factory where they made models of the warriors. Outside you could pose as if you were one of the warriors. I think this is the best shot ;-P

The warriors were located in this HUGE pit! And this was only one of three!

This was the best shot I got of the warriors ^^^^

Originally this is what the soldiers looked like when dug up. The ones in the previous picture had to be reconstructed.

POSERS!

This is what happens when you lend Jonny Kuan your camera....oh well it's a pretty good pic ;-P

He also got this nice one of our guide, Nina

Jonny and Edmund, posing, on the bus

Another Jonny Kuan shot. She looks pure evil....

This photo isn't bad

Only one of the various times Vanna got piggyback rides ;-) This was when we went shopping

For dinner we had 16 variety of dumpling!

This is Empress Soup. Inside were 10 dumplings, and the number you got in your bowl meant something. I got two dumplings, which meant "double happiness".

Our overall description of the soup (as stated by Jonny Lim):

HOT HOT BURNING BURNING SPICY SPICY SPICY PEPPER PEPPER!

Jonny playing with his new monkey. Doesn't he look like a little kid?

Player! ;-P

This evening, we chilled in Jonny's (Kuan) "crib" till after midnight! When we realised the time, we returned to our rooms. 5 minutes later, Jonny Lim knocked on our door asking if he could sleep in our room. Reason? Martin (whom he was rooming with) was already asleep! So he couldn't get back into the room! And when he tried the other boy's room, nobody answered...
