Xian

Well, we have been having all sorts of trouble getting a train from Xian to Beijing. Trains get booked up days in advance in China. Anyway, with a little help from Bob, from Bob's guesthouse, we have sorted it out, but it means we will stay in Ping Yao for 2 days instead of just one. Ping Yao is an ancient Chinese village (aren't they all!), with ancient people (maybe...). Anyway, this leaves us just 3 days in Beijing to obtain a visa for Vietnam.

Btw we still can't view the actual blog, because of the chinese firewall. They also block the BBC site, and all their subversive capitalistic pig-dog ways...

Last night we went into the Muslim quarter of Xian, where they have hundreds of food stalls in the street, and you can eat basically everything. I'm sure i ate some sort of pigs innards, but i can't be sure. I don't want to know.

Yesterday, we saw the terracotta warriors. It was awsome etc. This is the thing to see in China. We also saw a bunch of other stuff. The End.

Catching a train at 2 which will take 9 hours.
