Those warriors and.....
Its not too late to say hapy new year from us. It was quickly back to the ole grine stone for us after xmas. Did you have to pay to see those warriors?

Vibert,how heavy your baggages are! Travelling with such a heavy and large baggage must be hard. Fortunately, the places you've been to are worth visiting and make you both happy! Hope that next time you can come to China without being troubled by such heavy things.
