Touristing, Day 2


Because last night ended very late we couldn't manage to get up before 1 pm or so. And at that time NO cabs again. Got this little "tuctuc" driven by an old woman who I think was half blind. After many close calls, bumpy streets and 15 rmb poorer we arrived.
Came to the most famous Xian restaurant and started the day with lunch by eating the most famous Xian local food called "Yang rou pao mo - 羊肉泡馍" Which is a kind of bread mixed with sheep meat and some soup. The most famus restaurant that serves it had a wedding just before we arrived so the waiters there seemed really annoyed and it took a long time to get anything. You had to make the bread into pieces by yourself but once it was done it was great!
The Shanxi museum is a known for many things and has a lot of very old preserved things since Xian used to be the capitol of China for 11 dynasites. Some of the terracotta warriors were also put here.
Stone armor!
Around the Big Goose Padoga tower there were a lot of "engrish" signs, always as fun...
