Our Trip Across China

Hey, we're back!!

Our 3 week trek across China has come to an end and now we're back teaching in Liyang. There are so many pictures and stories to tell so we'll share some of that here and save the rest for when we get home.

The first city we visited was Xi'an. Of course, one of our first stops was the terracotta warriors.

Here I am standing in front of pit 1, which is the largest of the three pits being excavated. It is believed that there will be 6000 soldiers found in this pit by the time the digging is finished. It's a very impressive sight!

At the back of pit 1. You can see the warriors here are still part of the group being restored. Some of them are in pretty rough shape.

One of our evenings in Xi'an we went out to a small Chinese bar where we had a fantastic night. The guy between Jen and me is the bartender. He taught us a fun Chinese drinking game, which got us a lot more tipsy than we were planning on getting. The guy on the far right was one of the performers that night. The live music was great. The other guy, Shane, was the only other foreigner in the bar who we also had a good time with.
