Back in Xian (out of order again)...

Well we arrived back in Xian last night. The drive took
about 7 hours again to do about 300kms. We are thinking
about heading off to Shaolin tomorrow and then Shanghai and
back to beijing.

The internet here in Xian is much faster, but the computers
aren't as easyto use and the spacbar key on mine is a bit
broken :)

We went to the XIan drum tower this morning. We were going
to look at the bell tower this morning as well, but it
looked very european (by that I mean it is covered in
scaffolding).

Bought a few more DVDs (have ammassed quite a collection),
hope customs don't hassle me... touch wood). PLus we
wandered around and saw some more of XIan. We are on our way
to visit the south wall of XIan. The entire inner city is
surronded by a wall similar to the great wall. Iam guessing
it was once a forbidden city as well since Xian housed 13
dynasties, but I could be very wrong on that one :)

Overall Ireally enjoyed Yanan, although I have one
dissapointing thing about it, DI continually told me that it
was a small town, but I now realise it is a big city. YAnan
is so much more lively then brisbane and there is somuch to
see and do at any time :) I was also got a bit of attention
there, it seems that not a lot of western people get out
there, so I got lots of stares, lots of "hellos" (which when
I returned a "hello" got lots of laughs and giggles). It was
a really enjoyable city with a lot more tosee and dothen I
was expecting.

WEll this spacebar is dying so Ishall finish this. Not sure
where the next post will be from (just so happenedto be Luo Yang, on a computer with a broken spacebar).
