Goodbye and good riddance

So we are finally leaving Xi’an today. I did have some enjoyable and learning experiences here, but I’m very glad to be moving on. I think everyone in the group feels the same. In honor of our departure, Dawn and I came up with a top ten list.

Top Ten Reasons We Hate Xi’an And Are Never Coming Back

10. We’ve never seen the sun.

9. Our hotel room smells like farts (not our own).

8. No egg mcmuffins.

7. Warm beer, cold tea.

6. Taxi drivers have a death wish.

5. Opera singers don’t sing.

4. The only people who aren’t rude work at Starbucks.

3. Yogurt popsicles are not easily accessible.

2. We’re staying between a Walmart and a mall.

1. Too many people, too many cars, too many bellies, too many lugies

We’re headed to the train station for an overnight train to Shanghai, the biggest international city on our trip! Woohoo!
