Dream Trip 2008: March

Great Travel Moment

We have traveled to Xian, China to visit one of the great recent Chinese archaeological discoveries - that of the Terra Cotta Warriors of Emperor Qin Shin Huang. After an enjoyable afternoon at this magnificent archaeological site we ventured back into the modern city of Xian and stopped at one of the local markets. While wandering around the maze of vendors in this market, with the many different items being offered for sale, we came across this older gentleman. He was sitting by himself and seemed to remind us of what we had seen earlier in the day. We joked that he was the modern Xian warrior.
