China Photos

Here's some more photos from our trip. Now that my internet connection is faster, I can put them all on here. :)

This was Rob's last night. This was our whole group, including Benny.

Outside the fabric market were these jewelry vendors. On the sunny days they're there; on the rainy days they're not. I love looking at, and buying, their jewelry.


These are my Hong Kong photos:

Riding the Star Ferry over to the Hong Kong island.

At Stanley Market - it's just alley ways with shops set up everywhere

Eating lunch at Pizza Express...The pizza was really good, but we definitely didn't need our own. :)

The harbor at Stanley Market was gorgeous.

The harbor, again

At the night market

Riding our double-decker tour bus through the city

Getting our candy we loved so much!!

From Victoria's Peak - Hong Kong at night

The Hong Kong temple is really neat.

This Buddha was huge! We decided it's probably about 80 feet tall.

My dad tried to ruin this picture, but I just think his face is funny. :)


These are my Xi'an photos:

The terracotta warriors. The "fixed" ones up front, and the ones that still need fixing in the back.

Me with the some of the warriors that were in the hospital, as our tour guide called it.

Some more broken warriors that need fixing

The farmer who discovered the terracotta army signed a book for me. (And even though all the signs say "No Photo," he consented since we bought the book, and paid him a tip.)

The emperor's "bathing palace." You can see how it just goes up and back into the mountain.

Riding bikes on the ancient city wall.

The man who engraved our names in our Chinese "recorders."

This thing happens all the time in China. A whole family rides the scooter around. I've seen infants on scooters before.

At the Korean restaurant for my mom's birthday. That's the bulgogi in the middle of the table.

Celebrating mom's birthday! The cake was delicious. You couldn't even tell we weren't in America.

Well, China was an awesome time. It was so neat being able to see all the things we saw. I'm grateful we were able to go over. (Thanks mom and dad!!) It was really fun spending time with my family, since that doesn't happen very often. I guess living across the world would cause that. :)
