Xian- day 1

I arrived at Xian and was met at the station by one of the guys from the hostel. Naturally Amy and Adam had organised this. They are too good to me! We walked the 200m from the station to the hostel and I saw Amy and Adam. They had planned to do heaps of sightseeing but it had not happened yet, it was 2pm. So we set off to look around the Town. Xian is famous for the Terra-cotta Warriors which was created by Qin Dynasty (211-206 BC). So Amy,Adam and I booked into a tour to see this 8th wonder of the world tomorrow.

The city of Xian is surrounded by a huge wall but it was too expensive for is walk around it and we were trying to save money after this tour so we instead headed off to the Muslim area of town. I was craving Lamb and I think with all my talk about was also making Amy and Adam want it. After searching for ages for this restaurant recommended by LP we finally got our lamb.

The excitement of eating lamb!!! Even if it was a really small plate of it.

After the lamb which did not really fill us up but stopped the craving we headed to Amy and Adam's new fav place which was a huge Chinese food court. I have to admit the food was great and well priced. After stuffing ourselves we headed back to the hostel. Amy wasn't up for a big night so Adam and I headed out to the club '1+1'. Once in the club we had only walked for a few meters before we had made some friends who wanted to get the foreigners drunk!! Yeah!

Adam dancing at the club. Looking more Chinese than English

They were all from Chengdu. Adam and I joined them for a few beers before they took us to a different part of the club. It was so much fun but i felt bad cos they would not let us pay. Like most Chinese drinking game the aim seemed to be to get us drunk while they stayed sober. It was rather successful. Before we got too drunk to walk we headed back to the hostel. I have no idea what time we went to bed.
