Xi'an Vacation



So i made it safely home thank goodness... this vacation was quite an experience for me. We had a group of 5 people going to Xian, it was nice to have a smaller group for once. we left on friday the 3rd for the bus station where we were going to catch a bus to the Guangdong Airport.. after a 2 hour bus ride we came to the Airport and stayed the night their because it was so far away from anywhere to stay at and our flight left at 7am.... well that was a rough night i slept on a hard tile floor with cock roaches YUMMY!!!


We Finally made it to Xi'an we checked into our hostel and all showered and got ready for the day we were walking around town trying to find somewhere to eat.... Guess what i found?!?!?! A FREAKING SUBWAY!!!!! i was so excited to eat their and i thought i would never say that lol JK I love subway.... so that their make my day. then we just walked around and went to some cool shopping places. then we headed in for the night....

On Sunday went on a tour to go see the Terracotta Warriors... it was AMAZING! it is one of the seven wonders of the world and i got to see it.... As you can tell i fell in love once again with this amazing guy lol Just kidding this is a replica of a Terracotta Warrior... while we were seeing the Warriors dont worry i
asked for not even kidding like 10 pictures of me with people... i thought it would not be as bad being in a touristy place but dont even worry it was worse. HAHA so Jodi and i ended up going to hide in a corner so people couldnt find us and ask for our pictures... that was about all we did on Sunday!!!




Monday Rolls around and Jodi and i didnt have much planned we were planning on just relaxing and doning vacation things not being busy all day long.... we ened up hanging out all day long with this Guy we met in our Hostel his name is Micheal(Micky). It was most likely the most fun day i have had here in china surprisingly.... Micky took Me and jodi out to go bike around the city wall that was an amazing sight. it is one of the only city walls left here in china. of couse being me and jodi we decided to rent a double seater bike. it was a freaking blast... Micky and i pulled a joke on jodi, micky slowed down and grabbed on to our basket in the back and stopped peddeling then i stopped peddeling... it didnt take jodi long to notice dang it!!! lol but it was alot of fun untill we tried to grab onto mickys bike that didnt turn out as planned we ended up catching tires and fell over it was way funny all 3 of us were on the ground laughing our butts off... while we had ourselves a little croud watching us.... after we got the bikes untangled we noticed that out double seater bike was making a weird clicking noise... oh well we just turned in the bike and ran as fast as we could before the people noticed something wrong with it....


After that little adventure Micky took us to this awesome Carnival.. Micky paid for us to get these awesome kites and go on these bumper water boat thingys it was a blast... we tried to fly our kites for hours and jodi was the only one who could semi get her kite up and flying....

That night we attemped to go see this awesome water show at the big Goose Pagota but we got on the wrong bus and ended up taking a taxi and showed up right after it ended so we (me jodi and micky) made our own fun we went puddle jumping we were soaked from the knees down it was awesome.... then we were waking and got this brillent idead to get our pictures drawn at this place on the street.... HAHA it was so funny we got a insight of how the chinese people see us... as you can see we look just alike dont you think???? HAHA NOT.... we sat their for at least 2 hours having this guy draw our faces and we thought it was going to be like this glamorous picture. at the end he made us close our eyes and then he would show us. when he uncovered the picture it took me everything i had to not laugh at it... it didnt look a thing like us it was freaking Hilarious... of course we had to buy it so their is mostly our vacation rolled up in a little tortilla for yall!!!!
