Made it to xian to see the terracotta warriors .after the great wall I needed a well deserved beer which turned into about eight due mainly to people buying me them .so it's one in the morning and I need to get to the airport by 6 which is a subway and a train away after hastily packing in the dark I grab about three hours sleep and make it to the airport in time ( seems everything is cool with the flight after all) so I am sat on the floor near the boarding gate and yet again fall asleep only to be woken by a Chinese guy pointing that the plane was boarding( slept all the way through the flight) when I get out the airport I find a bus to the Center ( which a chinese dude spends the next hour doing origami out if 1 yen notes and giving them to me keeps saying things in chinese don't no what so i smile and collect the money)stupidly I think xian won't be that big ( well I was wrong) and all I no is get number 603 bus , so after about an hour wandering aimlessly no other westerners about or young Chinese to ask for help.i find the bus get on and ask the driver if it goes we're I want ,he replays with the Chinese for 1 so I give him the 10 p and get on.there is no signs or announcements for any stop all I can remember is its near the city wall ,soon as I see a wall I get off ( a stop to late as trying to push 50 Chinese out of the way is not easy) after a 30 min wander I find the hostel,time for a kip and a shower I think went to bed in the clothes I climbed the wall in smell of beer and fags.
