Greetings,

Well, we're in Xian and we found an internet cafe that allows USB cables. So, here are some pics from Shanghai and today in Xian....


A view of a "nong"...narrow alleys filled to bursting with families living in small, ancient apartments.


The Pearl Tower in Shanghai at night.


Shayne next to Dr. Sun Yat Sen at his former residence in Shanghai...now a museum.

The Yu Yuen Gardens in Shanghai.


More acrobats...the flying guy is about to land on that pole with his crotch.


"The Cage of Death"...this shot only shows three, but they got 5 motorcycles in there!

Now in Xian...walking to the South Gate of the city wall for some sightseeing.


What better way to explore over 13km of wall than by bike?


More bikes and wall.


Shayne carefully guarding his belongings at the market in the Muslim Quarter. We liked this market much better than the ones in Beijing...no one grabs you!


And here's Shayne working on the blog...it looks comfy, but if you had "smell-o-vision" you'd know better. All we can smell is cigarettes...blech.

Okay...that's it for now. Time to go get some shut-eye before the Terra Cotta Warriors tomorrow morning. Woo hoo!!

Cheers,

Shayne and Jo

P.S. We'll add titles to these blog entries when the damn Chinese computers let us. >:(

P.P.S. If you're wondering at the lack of text, it's because this place is filled with cigarette smoke and we're dog tired. :P

Hey Shayne, Michael here in the heart of Rutland chirping in.

Haven't been following your endeavor as much lately, but I will definitely catch up on your posts soon enough. Glad to see all is well and seriously, you've lost alot of weight. Now whether this is the change in eating habits or seeing Harman give up on life, I'll dig no deeper.

Anyways, god bless and may you soon return for a night of video games and coolers.

Cheers,

Michael.
