Water Army

Our group of 7 is now in Xi'an, China. It's pouring rain here and hasn't stopped since we arrived 2 days ago. For some reason there are no train tickets available in China and our big dreams of going to Shanghai were crushed at the train station. I'm glad we got tickets back to Beijing.

Xi'an is home of the famous Terracotta Army. We paid a visit to the vast bronze army yesterday (soaking wet most of the day). Learn more about these ancient warriors at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terracotta_Army.

The best part of the evening was the incredible foundation show at the Goose Pagoda. One great thing about traveling in other countries is they don't have rules and there is no thing such as liability. So, instead of watching the foundation show Tad, Jayme, Rupert and I joined in and ran through the foundation terraces. More fun than you could possibly imagine.

It was our last evening with our good friend Tariq, so we headed to the local KTV (karaoke) joint for 4 hours of belting our lungs out. If you want to see Jen sing and dance her heart out, just give her a mic and put on Footloose. Tariq's rendition of Love Shack will go down in history. We love KTV!
