day 10 - xi'an

Jeppulisseen ja niin..

Okay, last day going on here, and tomorrow morning I'll start heading towards Hong Kong by train. 26 hours on the train. :) only. So, hopefully I'll get "good" cabin people, I wouldn't want to be in a same one with smokers or something like that.

Yeah, weekend was good, went out on Saturday, and saw some nice clubs. Weird thing is that most of the bars/clubs dont offer drinks at all or only offer them through a check out shop that's inside the bar. So you have to buy a vodka, wine or beer bottle always. They don't make any drink .. weird.. after the club run we, me and a few "flat" mates here in the hostel went to eat. There's like loads of different vendors outside at night making food for only 3-5cny, so cheap to eat, but not sure if it's "healthy" food.. not sick yet..

Also saw some sights here in Xi'an, like the bell and drum tower and the 7 different shoppin' malls that surrounds them. :) hehe.

Then again today I did some exercising and took a bike. Me and 3 of my hostel friends went bicycling around the city walls, you can literally drive on the walls. They go around the main center of the town and its 17km long. Very nice way to see the town from high up, also the weather today was perfect, +12. Damn, I had no battery on my camera so have to wait to get the photos from the other guys.

But now I'll head out to buy some "supplies" for the train ride and then to the Big Goose Pagoda. LAtersssss

UPDATE: Photo's

day 8 - xi'an

Morning,
Today was the first "wake up" at Xi'an. Now I'll head after this to the city to see what this 8million people "back-alley" has to offer, prolly nothing but.. the terracotta's, that I saw yesterday already.

Yeah, I came by train yesterday, like I mentioned from Beijing to Xi'an. It left about 9:24pm and reached Xi'an at 8:25am. I (thank god) had a pickup from the train station by a hostel employee.. I would've otherwise definitely got lost and so on. So, after the hassle at the hostel and the registration for the room was done, I hopped on a bus ride to the terracotta warriors that was arranged by the hostel. There I saw the famous warrior things and had a extremely boring tour guide explaining all kind of tidbits about them, I even saw the guy who founded the first head that ultimately lead to finding all of the 8000 of them, uuuuuu sooo exciting :). After a while we headed back to the hostel.

We have our own pub and a bar and a small restaurant here, so you can easily spend a "night" here talking to other traveler's, like I did yesterday. Drank some beer, talked some rubbish and eat a few dumplings. .

so laters taters...
