Hi Mum, Dad, James and Adam Just emailing from an internet bar (wung ba) down the road from our hotel in Xian. Checked all our bags out now so of to the airport at 2 to catch our plane (forgot where were going to haha). So far in Xian we have cycled the city wall which was really fun (9 miles) i was quite impressed with myself. We have vistied many temples in china, yesterday we went to visit the Great Mosque- a muslim temple which was really realxing and peaceful, and after we had some muslim food, which i must say was very yummy- one of my favourite meals so far. After lunch we went the to Goose Pagoda- a buddist temple, very fun. Yes, i got to see my first monk- however not the ones i want to see (orange robe) so fingers crosssed i will see one soon. Oh yes and last nite we went for a Dumpling Banquet, a selection of 18 dumplings stuffed with wonderful fillings, and afterwards watched a show on Chinese music and dance, inspired by the Ting Dynasty- which was alot of fun. From then on we all went to a bar which involved drinking games (don't worry mum i did'nt get drunk) and karaoke. Oh how could i forget, we also saw the Terracotta Warriors- amazing, taking lots of good photos. Sorry i could'nt speak on the phone for long this morning i was absolutely knackered, i'll call you soon as i now know the dialling code. Yep i recieving your messages on this website. I'll be in touch soon. Love you all Hayleyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
