No matter when you (or anyone else reading this) goes there, let me know. I'd be happy to give you heads up on places to go.<br /><br />@Ramesh - I found this video on Youku if you want to watch it. I embedded and linked to it on the main page.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00967364257656897151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-53070406786967953852010-04-17T23:16:02.245-05:002010-04-17T23:16:02.245-05:00Thanks Mark & Hopfrog.

I know very little about Xi'an and look forward to be able to view the program once I get to a part of the world where YouTube isn't blocked. <br /><br />Well said Hopfrog - I too would give anything to have a time machine that would enable living in those times for a day.Rameshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782192840421019943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-80814214129343781092010-04-17T19:48:17.564-05:002010-04-17T19:48:17.564-05:00Glad you enjoyed too!

Another cool thing about that Pagoda, there is probably a crypt underneath it (according to some funky land sonar device they showed) with all kinds of cool artifacts inside.<br /><br />I had no idea how incredible the walls of xian were, man I really cannot wait to visit this city now, its on the top of my list when I get back over there. Yeah when I first saw the promo, I was like *sigh* another hour with the Terracotta Warriors, but they hardly mentioned them.<br /><br />Just amazing to imagine the silk road and all other types of trade routes funneling into Chang'an and into the biggest trading bazaar in the world. Man what I would give to have a time machine and just visit ancient cities like that for a day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
