Xi'an-phase 3

Today we went to see the terra cotta warriors in person. First, we saw the origional pit, the one first discovered. They said they estimate about 6,000 warriors are housed in the pit. Then we saw the third pit, or the "war room", where all the high ranking generals and commanders were put. And lastly, we saw the cavalry/archers pit, #2. Surprisingly, very little was uncovered, for they said they were still actually painted, but the paint just disintegrated when it touched air. They are waiting for better technology to preserve the paint on the figures.













Later in the day, we went to this KTV-karaoke thing, where you have a soundproof room where you do karaoke in, protected from the embarrassment of singing in front of strangers. I think everybody in room 18 should make a list of the songs they think we sang, and comment with their lists, and there should be a prize for most correct answers.
