Ball Caught in a Statue's Mouth

You can actually move this ball, which makes statue carving pretty amazing. It's a little secret of the temple we visited.

If you get two "pearls", that's double luck, which is what I got in my soup. The rest of the dinner was a taste of all sorts of different dumplings--some good and others were never going to touch my tastebuds again.

Terra Cotta Soldiers

I regret not bringing my zoom lens, and this was as close as I could get. there were tons of Xi'an soldiers and if you don't know what Xi'an is famous for, it's terra cotta soldiers.
