I'm in Xi'an, one of the old capitals of China. This place is beautiful, a glorious combo of neon lights and old buildings. I only have a moment, but one story is worth telling...

There is a large Muslim population here famous for it's kabobs. Danny, Matt, Jack (an American, I still havn't met my roommate Jack) and I were eating in a divy restaurant. A man approached us with some meat and we hesitated. He then grabbed Jack's crotch, as we all watched dumbfounded. After not getting a reaction he reached over and touched Dannys. Several tense seconds ensued until we realized he was telling us the meat we had was beef testicle. Gross! Hilarious! The two perfect words to describe Chinese food.

We are seeing the Terra Cotta warriors tomorrow, and then eating even more strange and interesting food. My tastebuds have never been busier.
