Day 26
This is the third time we've been to Xi'an.

Slacking at coffeebean before deciding on what to do next. Shooting pearls at the air-con.

I dunnoe why they put ice in urinals

We went to this japanese restaurant where we had a chef to cook for us.

Orange juice to dilute the beer.


The beef roll with assorted veggie in it is the best damn thing on earth. Below, She's in the process of doing another roll.




The bell tower at night.






Day 27
4th and final time going to Xi'an city. Getting alitte sick of the place. Go to a place, other than HOME, too many times and it'll lose its charm. Love the crowd, food and high level of excitement there though.
Believe or not, this is my first time eating Bim Bim Bap. And in china.



Small Pagoda. Very costly entrance fee, and we didnt go in. So we just took photos with the
pai
The place to ascend the city wall. I forgot what its called.



Chinese is really really patriotic.



Got my ticket! 20yuan student half price entrance fee and a further 20yuan for bike rental. SP student card is usuable worldwide eh.



Requirement for this job: Have a Stone face and just stone there.





Beijing has the Great Wall, we in Xi'an has our own breath-taking wall too.


Straight ahead is the bell tower. The bell tower is roughly in the middle of the city wall, so times 2 the distance to the bell tower from here, you'll get the opposite side of the wall.





20km of cobblestones on a crap bike. Full body workout guaranteed.



The bike gang.



The historical, the new, and the sexy.





At one of the 4 corners of the city wall.



Train station is nearby. Take away the buses, add more people and this could pull off as Shinjuku Crossing.



This is the water fountain, in front of the Big Pagoda. You stand right within the display and there's some 80's china-inspired getai music playing along with the water display. Very funny feeling to have. Makes me feel like im in heaven.
The water display comes on every hour or so, and it gathers quite a crowd.



This is the super duper crowded and shiok Da Tang Fu Rong Yuan. That day we went, they had a food fest, hence the fierce crowd.




First place in china to sell Or Jian. Very costly though, a small plate for RMB 15.




Fishes done this way are d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!



Soft shell crab. Very nice, they sell the whole crab.
Fried durian. Not bad, for a change with goreng pisang.


Tarantula for sale as food. RMB 100.



I've tamed this small beast of a scorpion.

Centipede tastes like it has alot and alot of poison in it.


Whole sotong for sale. We couldn't finish it of course. Gets very nee after awhile.






The next photo might be disgusting and unpleasant to some of you. BUT TOO BAD. You have to see it no matter what. 98% of toilets in china have shit remaining in the toilet bowls. A practice?


A lovely and huge sprawling park near the main city area. The taxi driver brought us here to see the place only, cos we were heading back to yanliang.
