Monday – Terracotta Warriors

The Terracotta Warriors are about an hour outside of Xi’an, and we took a bus there this morning. Such an impressive and amazing thing to see in real life. And they continue to find more of them! – a new excavation started just a few days before.

I do, however, have a suggestion for the museum planners: Don’t label the rooms in chronological order, if that’s not the order that people should walk through them. What if you were to use a labeling system like this –
Pit 3 – “Small dark pit with a few broken warriors”
Pit 2 – “Pit of Boredom”
Pit 1- “Completely awe inspiring pit that will make you question your role in the Universe”

See, if you used a system like that, then I wouldn’t have walked into Pit 1 first, only to be progressively more disappointed by the subsequent pits. Just saying.
