We started our Saturday with a delicious Western breakfast buffet (omelettes and croissants and orange juice hooray!) and then we headed to the Shaanxi History museum to look at cultural relics discovered in Xi'an in the last 3,000 years. I particularly liked the jade swords plated with chromium and the drinking glasses which the emperor used to make sure his guest drained his wine, but I don't have pictures of those. I will probably get some more pictures from other people though, so keep your eyes peeled, this entry is a work in progress. The museum did have a few of the Terra Cotta soldiers from the Qin Dynasty mausoleum, so I'm putting them up. We went to the Terra Cotta warrior museum on Sunday, so more pictures are coming.

Dear Sarah- We are all here at the beach- the Niehoff's (plus Bev) and your family. I am lobbying everyone to have sushi night at Stress Beaker in your honor. Also I have suggested going without toilet paper for one week however no one seems keen on this idea.
Wish you were here,
Dr. M
You can use the toilet paper, Dr. Mike, just don't flush is down the toilet.
You could pretend that you're using a squat toilet out in the sand and pretend you're REALLY Chinese.
