Xi'an take 2

Our last night on Bulabog beach and we moved from our hotel of luxury to a room around the corner, above the local cheap eatery. Altogether an awesome deal and we spent our last night playing darts in the hostel round the corner (I won!) before hitting the hay in preparation for leaving the Philippines the next day - back to Malaysia for one night! In KL (our soon to be home!) we took advantage of wandering to our favourite Punjab place, before it was time to speed buy some trousers for Sam and fly to the cold of China! 

 We arrived into Xi'an, the only place in China that we are re- visiting, and got a 1AM taxi to the same hostel we stayed at last time! Pretty surreal, but pretty nice too as off season means half the price! We barely had time to see anything in Xi'an last time, too busy at Hua shān or the terracotta warriors, but this time we had time! 

We visited the small wild goose pagoda (somehow not paying for a ticket by just shaking our head when asked for a ticket - the security guards that showed up later would probably have put us straight!), set in a beautiful Wintery courtyard with a little museum of its past. We walked to a little-visited Buddhist temple buried in the student part of town, with flags flying, incense burning and the beautiful buildings that you come to take for granted in China! 

We walked round the outer city walls and spent he evening at the Muslim market, definitely remembering why we had come back! The next day we walked the city walls, but on top this time, looking over look out posts, and temples inside the inner walls; as well as some pretty interesting sculptures, apparently as part of the local lantern festival? 

That night we had an incredibly random calligraphy class in the middle of the hostel bar - practising our brush flicks on magic calligraphy paper (with the expected onlookers of course - we were as good as the worst Chinese partakers at least), Sam left handedness was a spectacle. 

 A nice early rise and we got to the train station (via some leek stuffed bread) to buy ourselves a couple of standing tickets to our first proper destination on our way homeward West.. Tian Shui.
