I think it’s something.

That was an experience.

Shut up mother!

I know, I know what happened this time?

It seems to me that nothing me or mum ever do can be by halfs, the first time I bungee jumped it was raining and the wind was bucketing around so bad that I was the only person that jumped that day.

The first time I went overseas I went to four different countries in three weeks. I actually saw blue sky in London.

But whatever the case is we always manage to take something as mudane as going to the shop and turn it into a terrfiying as the case usual is adventure.

All we wanted to do was go to the shop. That’s it.

How I found myself running down an eight lane highway in the pouring rain, almost getting run over by taxis with no footpath in sight is absolutely beyond me.

We may be a little bit slow, but … what was I going to say again?

Okay so there we were.

Standing.

Staring.

It was dark and we could barely see the warriors in front of us it was only with the occasional flashes of camera light that we could see them.

We soon realised that there was apparently three no wait there is three in total but two other pits to go to. This was only realised after we listened in on the tour group next to us.

Pretty sad.

But our sadness was soon to be made up. Not really, after awhile of listening to the tour groups we got bored and went off into another building which turned out to be a gift shop, in our defense we didn’t have a clue.

Mum was following me and I was following, well actually I am not sure what I was following the point is that we ended up in this gift shop and right as we walked in a guy sat down at a huge table and started smoking a pipe.

Okay whatever.

The fact that tour groups as they rolled into seemed to focus on this one character before moving into the gift shop didn’t really penerate our minds.

Neither did the fact that above this guy’s head was a huge blown up photo of this guy shaking hands with Bill Clinton.

Sure. Whatever.

It was only when we heard a few bits of english conversation and saw the fact that the books from the gift shop about the warriors was being signed by this guy did we really clue in.

Yes you can let out the big huge DUH that you have been holding in.

We were staring straight at THE farmer that dig the well to discover the Terrracotta Warriors in the first place.

DUH!

I mean looking back it seems pretty obvious Bill Clinton doesn’t really go shaking hands with normal people. Sigh.
