Xi'an (Rolex? Bag? DVD?)

Immediately after we landed in Xi'an, we headed over to the museum where we saw replicas of ancient relics that had been found in the city many years ago. It was pretty interesting. I especially liked the exhibit about evolution (since I kind of resemble a caveman). But after that it was time for the real deal. We headed over to the Terre Cotta Warrior Musuem, which is the actual site where the clay soldiers were found. They had been well preserved and a lot of them were found completely in tact. Altho their were some that archieologists were putting back together. We also watched an "iMax" movie on the origin of the Terre Cotta Warriors which was interesting and informative but very poorly produced. It wasn't even a real iMax movie. It was just a room shaped in a circle with screens going completely around it. The idea was nice but the film was too bad to make the 360 degree expierience any good. All in all, the museum itself was alot of fun. That night we went to a sort of alley way that had a bunch of bars to go to. That was alot of fun. Some of the girls convinced the people that worked there to let her play her iPod, so it was nice to hear some music from home. We didn't stay out too long, (although we stayed later than expected), since we had to fly to Shanghai and get on a bus to Hangzhou the next day.
