Part of the terra-cotta warrior army. This is from the first pit with over 1000 warriors excavated.
More warriors in pit one.

Tonight we went to a KTV place for some karaoke. Actually there are quite a few here in xi'an. We ran into at least four while looking for a place to eat dinner.
We finally settled on one and sang karaoke for three hours. This is three hours more karaoke than I've done in my life. The above picture is from the tv in the room we had while singing "hero" by Enrique. Strange choice of video.
Overall it was a fun experience. The service was great and you could hear tons of other people singing loudly in the other rooms. This is a much more popular past time than I'd originally thought.
The dinner we had was at a new Taiwanese restaurant. The family that owned it just moved here about three months ago. The food was delicious. I especially liked the yansuji (salty peppery chicken). If this was any indication of what Taiwan would be like the I'm quite excited.
We've almost covered all of Xi'an so tomorrow we will probably check out a goose pagoda and some more stuff in the muslim quarter before going for dinner. Tuesday we fly to Chengdu!
We are both looking forward to a nice hotel and lots of sichaun food.
Wow! Everything looks so cool and SO different. Absorb the culture! Glad you have found many things too eat and drink. I would love to see the Terra-Cotta Warriors. We miss you guys!!
