Xi'an Reports

Monday, April 7th, 1997

Today we went through many places. First we walked to the food market and along the way we saw a dead rat laying on the ground. At the food market we saw odd kinds of foods, like cow liver and cow lungs, stale Jalopinio peppers and soups. Then we went to the Button Market where we saw all kinds of modern day things including toys, boxing gloves (which I bought), tools, hardware, and buttons. I bought boxing gloves (HK$80), and a toy gun (HK$2). After the market we walked along the city wall from the west gate to the South Gate. We had an hour to sit in our rooms until our group meeting. We then took a bus to the Xi'an Dumpling restaurant for dinner. The food consisted of dumplings, appetizers, tea, soda, water, soup and fruit. The appetizers were hot and tasty and the soda tasted watered down and salty. Some of the dumplings we tried were : bean curd, pork & mushroom, beef, pork turnkey, turkey-beef, and many more combinations. I learned about a lot more different dumplings I have never heard of before.

Setting- On airplane. Business Man.

Oh my that's a lot of kids! Man, it's 8:00 in the morning and I just got in from K.L. at 3 and all ready I'm not going to have peace and quiet! AHHHHHHHHH!! Maybe I can change my flight, oh that's right there are only 2 flights a week out of Hong Kong. Here we go on to the bus to the plane.

On the Plane:
Yes, take off here we go so far so good. PLEASE stop talking a very tired old man has to sleep. Ahh sleep....(snoring).

Landing:
Oh, no there is some strange man going up to the cockpit "dig, we are now descending into Xi'an" said the flight attendant. WOW, what a dip my heart is throbbing out of my chest. Yes we are in Xi'an to my hotel..... OH NO THEY ARE IN MY HOTEL TOO!!
