A poem:

Oh woe is me. Woe is me.

A true Xi’an experience,

The next camera will be three.

Wear your purse in front! And over the shoulder!

Good advice from Dad,

No statement could be bolder!

A nice lunch at Pizza Hut

A stroll to the Mosque

A reach for my camera…BUT!!

Yes, I’m now too a victim of pickpocket,

If I saw who did it,

I’d punch in their eye socket.

To avoid it, I thought I can.

They were too good.

Musta been a ninja man.

The End.

Yep. That’s a great way to kill your day! So we finished the day shopping and wondering around the Muslim Quarter and saw the Great Mosque. It was very scenic. I’d say check the pictures…but they might have to be sketches from now on. Not sure if i want to buy another one to lose in some crazy way just yet.

In other, less depressing news, Joee and I finally got the night club experience in Xi’an. We made friends with two Australian guys and one Irish guy who showed us around. I’m still not used to the fact that most of these Chinese people have never seen a westerner. Heck, the Chinese guys were inviting the GUYS in our group over to their table. It’s also customary (and MUCH cheaper) to get bottle service, so that’s what everyone does. They serve these little “snack packs” that taste like cat food and tofu. They also serve fancy fruit plates!

We’re about to take another adventure to airport land. We’re allowing twice the amount of normal time to allow for us getting lost, which seems customary for us here as well.
