Xi'an...
I've now been in Xi'an for two days, and I'm having a great time. Yesterday I met up with some Chinese friends from Baoding who are in Xi'an, and we walked around town, bought some souvenirs (great to have a Chinese friend who can get you a much better deal!). We went to a Muslim place for lunch, having a famous soup dish from this area (Yangrou Paomo).
Today I went on a tour of the Terracotta Warriors, as well as a whole bunch of other sites in the area. I'll have to write more when I get back, and post some photos too.
