Pictures and explanation




Just a whole bunch of pictures about some stuff here. First one is me holding the pots used to hold a bunch of dumplings that we had at a rstaurant in Xi'an....me doing my imitation of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid on the wall there and then me and Mr Liu and Don outside one of the temples I think.....



Don an Eve went to a musical display with water shooting storeys high. The light show and the water display were phenomenal. Eric and I with our Muslim hats in the cab coming home....he is a very funny taxi driver. We have a couple of drivers that we choose most of the time......Eric is the one we used here to pick us up at the airport.
The Wild Goose pagoda in the background if you can see it.....my camaera was acting up...this was a hand sculpture in front of the pagoda.
The Terra Cotta warriors as they stand in the stadium....quite a sight.
Apparently there was a fellow who dressed up as one of them and jumped into the pit and had a couple of his friends take pictures. the guards couldn't find him as he would stand perfectly still took about 1/2 hour to find him.

Bob and Chris taking a break after the skating in Beijing....they are holding up the boards In front of a Terra Cotta warrior in a glass case.
A monk....just before I got there he had his picture taken with a couple of women
A picture in the men's washroom at the skating venue....the picture....Emanuel Sandhu and there were a lot of others there.....I guess there is motivating going on at all times...
This is a small avenue down in the Muslim section of Xi'an....it was plugged with vendors and people bartering and just window shopping.....bikes and motorcycles rountinely go up and down the street.

That's it...for now. Lots of pictures so it was hard to pick the ones that would be of interest....

Take care
