Shaanxi, Xi'an Day 2

Went to see the Terracota army and Emperor Qin Shihuang's tomb today.
The tomb it self is nuthing to talk about. And frankly, the army too.

for the tomb at least i smoked on it, makes him turn in his grave =D
Then after the tomb u gotta walk like 30 mins on a fucking dusty highway to the terracota army.
i regret not getting a cab. the dust zomg. along the way i bought a chinese chess set made of jade stone, not jade, just stone thats like jade. my 1st purchase since arriving in china. bad move. its heavy and not really useful. bad buy.

Reaching the army, it was rather interesting. from the entrance, u gotta walk another fucking 10 mins in. they simply have too much land. but at least it was entertaining seeing a bunch of old dudes all wearing red caps lol tour group, thats how it works in china, not use stickers.


Red Cap tour army

When i reached the army proper, they have this screening room where they have a video giving u abit of history. it was well shot, and its 360! i mean u are in a circular area, and the vieo is projected on the walls, 360 around u. looking in front, u see whats oing on, and if u turn behind, u see whast going on behind u, as if u were right in the middle of the shot. freaking cool!!


I found billy tied to a tree! wanted to rescus by owner came and scared me away

This is where they gte their corn. no more corn for me.

Any it was a disappointment. Not as grand as i tot it is. in fact, it seems they stopped excavating it cuz the tourist dollar is already flowing in. sad. and it so fucking dark yet they not allow us to use flash of tripod. wtf right! hows anmy one gonna get a decent pic. fucked up.



Dude is gonging for the guards to march out. pure touristy
