And she lives!!! Ding-a-ling-ling, I'm back from China. Had a great time wandering around the old world, Xi'An. Here are some of the things that I noticed when I was there...
*When we were on our way to see the Terracotta Warriors, I saw so many hitch hikers along the expressway. First of all, how did they get there? and where are they going?
*Xi'An is not on the list as one of the fastest growing cities in China, but the differences between the rich and the poor is so noticeable, it's quite heart breaking to see. On one side of the road there are sky scrapers, yet on the other side there are houses which is only half standing but with people still living in it.
*Felt quite upset when I was there. People in China are so rude and obnoxious. Once again the feeling that China will be holding the 2008 Olympics seems so surreal. They really have to pull their act together. Especially the hospitatlity people at airports, hotels and restaurants. They think they're better than the customers?! Unbelievable!!!
*Terracotta Warriors were magnificent. It's one of those things that you really have to go see it to believe it. It's huge, with sooo many soldiers lined up, there are still lots left to be unearthed.
But the price they sell the replicas for are so expensive!
*The Japanese lovessssssssss to shop. They bought everything that was offered to them. It was amazing. Yet, they still managed to fit everything into their little suitcase.
*I don't think I'm a shy person, but in front of that one particular person that went on the trip as well, I was so nervous. I lost all my Japanese ability...why is that? On the last leg of the trip home, we managed to sit next to each other. It was actually quite nerve wrecking. So, since the plane wasn't filled up, I ended up moving. So shy. *sigh* Haven't had a crush on a guy in such a long time, but as long as we're friends, guess that's enough.
*My next trip is to Tokyo Disneyland!!! Yay, can't wait :)
