Just returned from a weekend in Xi'an... and I'm exhausted. I couldn't get any sleep on the train because the guy in the neighbouring bunk was a sensory nightmare, ie. loud snoring and bad body odour throughout the 13 hour ride. I was not the only one to hold this opinion: Chris slept with a towel flung over his face while Craig used a t-shirt. We all felt sorry for the guy's wife (if he has one that is).

Anyway, the trip was loads of fun. I have masses of pictures and several stories to tell so keep an eye out for a full post in the next few days.
