Being in a "second grade" city like Xian is very different from places like Beijing or Shanghai. Depending on a citys development it's either 1st class, 2nd class or 3rd class. Xi'an is a class 2 place. The 3rd class places are smaller villages and undeveloped rural areas.
On the last night in Xi'an I had one of the best meals ever! We went to take Hot-pot in a chain called Small Fat Sheep. There was soooo much meat to eat...After the whole meal we almost rolled out of the place. A bottle of Red wine was only 48 kuai but I think my dad would have called it shabby juice, alcohol none the less!
Put a number in front of the stuff you want (helps if you can read chinese)
The Feast!
Colorful noodles...
Dip the meat in the Sesame sauce!
Also found my new favorite chinese character! Biang! Not complicated at all...
Our driver...after the Terra-cotta he took us to this Jade store, the local government wanted tourists to come here and buy stuff. The whole thing was kinda strange but I found a cigarette holder in Jade for a very fair price.
Funny stuff found in a street market...
The cars added the gas or whateverfuel it was in the front of the car. Never seen this before
The taxis here look more or less like a little prison
Really happy to go back to Beijing, back to Civilization! Here everyone stares too much and everything is kinda crappy...Staying in second grade cities in China is nice for vacation but for living, definitely has to be Beijing or Shanghai! They don't have the things in the store you want and everything is kinda "halvfärdigt".
