Xi'an

26th January
 
Well got a couple hours kip this morning after that beautiful 14 hour train wreck, one things for sure I'm never going to complain about a 4 hour plane journey again! We did a bit of a walk around this very spread out city, we went looking for food and went the wrong direction (For the record: I suggested the right way but was overruled), we eventually found a place again with a completely Chinese menu..but being experts in sign language at this stage we managed to make an order and once again a mountain of food arrived (we only order the 1 dish!). Went to see the city walls and they were putting up the New Years decorations. We went back to our hostel which was more like a hotel to be honest but had all the trimmings of a hostel environment: The annoying American guy, the loud American guy, the creepy French man and the most German of Germans! Once the drunken Irish arrived the set was complete! But they were an alright bunch all the same, we got chatting to an America (Not annoying or loud), A Canadian and a pair of Danish girls. Tomorrow we go to the Terracotta warriors.
