Terra Cotta Warriors and Kung Fu Pandas!

No relation.

We saw the Terra Cotta Warriors - Tanner's favorite part of the trip! The farmer who actually discovered the relics was signing his book there. Unfortunately we couldn't get a photo because he thinks camera flashes will burn his eyebrows off and holds a fan over his face to prevent people from taking pictures. I think some parts of this story may have gotten lost in translation.

We visited a school in Yueying, and the kids there were adorable. 65 kids per classroom, no air conditioning - I can't wait to tell my teacher friends all about it.

The one I wanted.

The Tree of Enlightenment. (Not really.)

A Kung Fu Panda!! This was at the Chongqing zoo, where we disembarked the ship before flying to Xian for Terra Cotta Warriors.

The phrase "all the tea in China" now holds new meaning for me. There really is A LOT of tea in China!

Toddlers and babies in China all had their little pants split front to back like this for easy diaper access. This child was one of the few who actually had a diaper on. Most were going, shall we say, "commando."
