Yesterday we spent the day with George and Cory (who we met on the terracotta warriors tour) and Anna. Xi'an is the only place in China with complete city walls, so we decided to cycle around them. We took turns on a tandem and 3 normal bikes. When we were about half way round, Cory's bike broke (they really weren't very good quality) and we had to wait for a replacement. At half past 11 with low supplies of water and no shade, this wasn't fun! However the replacement arrived and we continued. Nick and Cory were especially unbalanced on the tandem, whilst Anna and I made quite a good team. We then went out for lunch at a little Muslim place with huge portions and cheap prices - about 60p each for a huge plate of noodles and beef.
Interesting fact about the chinese children - they don't wear nappies. Instead their trousers had bum-holes, and their parents hold them over drains/facing trees when they need to go. Haven't seen any do a number two, but from what I've heard the drains are used for this as well...
Notice Mum - I am wearing a hat!!
Couldn't you girls sit on the back of the tandem and let the men do all the work?
ReplyDeleteThat way they won't get their hair messed up, and won't get calves like Belfast shipworkers.
