Xi'an

Driving in China is CRAZY!! This is the land of no rules/no tickets.

Well, I take that back... Here are the rules that I've picked up on:

Red means stop

Green means go

Drive on the right hand side

Pull over for ambulance 

There is no such thing as yielding 

You can cut across 5 lanes of traffic without warning 

You can drive in the middle of the road whenever you feel like it's a good idea 

If there's not a spot, make one

You can make U turns whenever you feel like it

You can stop on the side whenever you feel like it 

I'm amazed at how there are no dents or scratches on any of the cars. (That I've seen)

I tried to take a video of the driving here, but it simply doesn't do it justice. 

Back to the itinerary! 

We spent the day in Xi'an ...

There is an actual wall that surrounds the city!! Big enough to ride bikes on :) 

We also went and saw the Terracotta Warriors which is one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all times! We even met the farmers who discovered them!

We're in Chengdu now and will be visiting the pandas tomorrow!!
