Well Im now in Xi'an, after leaving the hostel by the Great Wall we headed back to Beijing to catch the train to Xi'an, 13 hours over night lol. :O

As we waited for the train I was desperate for the toilet, having spoken to Neil from our group I headed for what they call the squat toilet lol, only to be described as a hole in the floor. This defniately affected my human rights lol. Its so disgusting, ive had nigthmares about it since lol.

The train wasnt to bad there were like 6 bunks to a cabin and there was enough room to sleep, even though ive not had any as usual maybe 20 mins lol..(. You wouldnt cope here Pat without your pit mate, the beds are so hard. lol)

We arrived at 6.30am this morning, had a walk around the city with our guide. Its different here, more stares and people giggling at you, Im getting more attention from the ladies already ( what can I say lady killer, you all know it haha). Weve been told that there are loads of pick pockets here so you have to be careful.

The hotel we are in is so posh makes a change from the hostels lol. I found the bank straight away, but its taken me 2 hours to find an internet cafe, so you best enjoy my blogs haha.

Were off to see The Terriocta Warriors tmrw, cant wait. :)

Ive not talked much about the people Im with, most of them are londoners for some strange reason lol, so im getting lots of posh jokes in. we have an old couple from Oz, there cool and definately fitterhan I am lol. There's one mexican girl who lives in USA, shes cool and told me loads of tips for states. :) That seems so far away at the mo lol.There are alot of people travelling on there own which did surprised me.

Sorry my pictures might be a bit mixed up, as im haveing problems uploading :)
