Ah…
Xi’an was a great weekend! We did visit one of the Starbucks (probably the coolest one I have ever been to, the architecture was amazing!). We saw the Terracotta Warriors, which were pretty cool. I don’t know if we were more impressed with the warriors or the beautiful fall trees, multi colored leaves falling and blue sky that day! We shopped at a market in Xi’an; I, of course, bought way too much, but enjoyed it! We got to hang out with the University team as well as some of the students that they teach.
It was a GREAT trip, minus the nasty stomach bug that I picked up on the way home. I had to take a day off of teaching and a day from office hours. BUT all is well now! Back to normal – even eating the cafeteria (which is not normal)!
Miscommunications abound in China, especially in my 2nd grade classes! My favs so far:
(Pointing to a cup): “What’s his name?”
(Pointing to my glasses): “What time is it?”
Still trying to figure out that last one.
(MaryBeth & I walk about... 30x the speed of everyone else and their cameras. So this happens. A LOT.)

Did you go to the dried fruit market in Xi'an? I am jealous....
We did NOT... unless you mean the Muslim market street/area. In which case - YES. And spent way too much money but loved every minute.
