Xi'an

I've been to Xi'an and of course I've been to the terracotta army.
Here are the pics:









The problem with Peter is, that he really likes my lens and conclusively is using it a lot - so there are loads of pictures with me in them.

Belltower in the middle of the walled part of town at night

baijiu with the more then amazing hotpot


after a couple of days and a visa extension there Peter had to return to university in Chengdu and I was like: "Hey, I'm coming with you!" It may be the opposite direction from my ultimate goal - Beijing but whatever. Apparently McDonald's tried to set foot in Sechuan province but failed because their food wasn't spicy enough and the local Chinese people said: "That taste' like nuthin'!" Now McDonald's has some special spicy burgers only available here - can't wait to try them. Otherwise of course Sechuan food is amazing and amazingly spicy. I love the Sechuan pepper which numbs your tongue and your lips!
Anyway that's for the next blog.
We had a rather pleasent train ride and now I'm staying with Peter at his appartment.

Pictures from the ride.









See you in Chengdu! Stay sound!
