8-10 Aug. Again a 5 hr drive from Yanan to Xian. (The truck belts along at about 85!) Xian is the original capital of China about 220BC. It is a lovely city. About 23 million but thank goodness we only come in close contact with about 1million on a daily basis! Went out to the Warriors of course and it is getting very organised out there with so many visitors. As the Chinese get more affluent they are travelling in a big way. Managed the metro, walked miles, cycled the walls (only about 15k) ate lovely food and visited the Moslem quarter a number of times, where there is a fantastic food market. But no beer shops! Went to a top Indian restaurant too. Supposed to be number 1 in China. The food and ambiance was excellent and cost including 2 coronas about $25. A very expensive meal here.

shane O'C I guess the fur traders are not at the entrance to the warriors these days. 1986 trestles full of exotic furs, minx, wolf, bear etc. Food has obviously improved with modernisation.
