Asia Day 8: City Wall, Terracotta Soldiers, and Seahorses

9/23/12

Breakfast. It doesn't look like it, but the guy gave me a lotttt of scrambled eggs, I couldn't eat all of it lol. The watermelon was really good! (My stomach was being a little bitch, so watermelon was my best friend).


Super cute muffin ; ;



We went to the city wall, first.


The lamps were really pretty~


View from the wall. It was very cloudy that day, so the lighting may not be the best. :|


And then we visited this... which I forget what it's called. I do remember that it is the ancient civilization from... 3,000 years ago I think.


Our guide then took us to see paintings that farmers from the area made. I loved them- they were bright and colorful.

     More paintings. These were my favorite.

 

After that, we went to the Terracotta Factory. This is the kiln.

Terracotta soldiers! I was so excited for this. When I was little I watched lots of documentaries of this.

     You can see that all of their faces are different. I have 904854385308 pictures from their, but I don't want to spam you guys lol.

     We had lunch at some place near there, and we saw this.

     It was very... interesting to see seahorses floating in a bottle.

     An amazing brownie I had somewhere. It was so good omfg.

Cutting down on my pictures because I have to use flickr and photobucket now fml.

Asia Day 7: Filler day

7/22/12

 Beijing is so pretty when it's sunny!

 ....

 Considerably early, because the airport is far away = =

 Ice cream~

 Really, really god noodles

After 1 1/2 hours on a really bumpy airplane, we finally made it (in one piece) to Xi'An

 Ginormous chandelier

 The entire hotel had this oriental feel.

 Danie's bag's zipper broke

 The bathroom. Yes, there's a giant glass window that will show what you are doing. Luckily, there's a blind that you can use to close it.

 Cute chocolates! The yellow one (no it is not green, the lighting is just crappy) was really sour, but the chocolate one was really good.

 I really liked the decor of the room

 Pretty painting!

 Danie looking at the channels (twitter and youtube wasn't blocked for us in Beijing, but in Xi'An it was)

 Bathroom!

 The shower was really cool~

 Yeah, the hotel really had a lot of oriental decorations XD

 There was this board where people could write on and I saw this. XD

 A somewhat creepy decoration in our room. Imagine seeing this when you're half asleep and going to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

 What we can see from our window.

 Looks very empty, right? Wrong. We heard yelling and screaming from outside late into the night.

 I really loved the paintings and drawings ; ;

 Lounge

 As you can see, the lighting was extremely crappy.

 The food was in tiny dishes, which was really cute, but really... inconvenient.

 Magical cheesecake. It tastes so good omfg.

 Ba paoooo

Dead Danie.

We really spent that day getting through Beijing's security (that was a pain in the ass), being on the plane, and getting to the hotel (which seems like two hours away. I swear, it only takes like 20-30 minutes to get to airport at home). Most of my Asia posts are really just pictures right now (and probably will be) because I just take pictures mindlessly lol.
