Xian
The hostel in Xian is a lovely building with a central courtyard. However, because we went for the cheap option our room was in the basement with no air conditioning, it was hot! Spend the first day just hanging out in the courtyard and planning our route around SE Asia. In the evening had a lovely BBQ at the hostel and met some other travelers who we played card games with.
The next day we went on our Terracotta Warriors trip. There were three main sites. The first was quiet small with a few warriors and horses. The second had no visible warriors as the ground they had been buried under had collapsed and the archeologists are still trying to uncover them with minimal damage. The third site was amazing, rows and rows of warriors and horses. Each of the warriors had different facial features and expressions. The warriors are hollow which is why a lot of them have broken during excavation.
When we got back from our trip we decided to do Karaoke! We got a troop of 10 and off we went. It was so much fun and included a free buffet. The drinks were very expensive so we smuggled what we thought was vodka into the building, but it was rice wine which is not nice. We had two hours at the karaoke before heading back to the hostel to play some games upstairs in the courtyard and then we went down to the bar for some cocktails!
