Xi'an

I have been here two weeks and I have already had a week long holiday. This weekend I went to Xi'an with some of the other teachers. Here are some pictures from the trip.
Terracotta Army
The creepy doll and Terracotta soldier used during the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The parks are filled with retired people all day. They come to get exercise, dance, and play ping pong. Some of them stopped us and we played ping pong with them for a while. It was so much fun!

The holiday is to celebrate the PRC 60th Anniversary. There are flags and 60th Anniversary signs everywhere. Also, Saturday was the Mid-Autumn Festival that celebrates the full moon (and something about a woman and a rabbit being stuck in the moon). They celebrate with moon cakes, which are little bread cakes with fruit inside of them. It's pomegranate season in Xi'an. They're huge and so tasty!
