Terracotta soldiers and horses museum

We arrived to our new hotel last night. Its more simple and not in the center of the town so we will be much closer to the airport. Last year we had one hour drive to get there and one hour back... After checking in we had a walk outside, what a different world! Its crowed on the streets and squares, peolpe are dancing, watching movies on old fashion screens and enjoying food and drinks. Its a pretty poor hood but peolpe seems very friendly and curious. Since pilot Sus and technican Magnus went back to Sweden we are 4 left since Chonqing airshow. But a new technican, Niklas, has joined us now. Together with the american teams we joined the locals and sat down around a table for a beer. Here all beer are very mild! We where given gifts from the food carts to try local delicasys like spicy fried pancake, some meat sticks and tiny apples with sour glaze.

 

Next day- today- we visited the terracotta soldiers and horses museum. For me it was my second time there, but its still amazing. They were made for more than 2000 years ago to protect Chinas first emperor in his afterlife. The underground work was trashed and set on fire and thereafter it was hidden under ground until 1974 when a farmer found it drilling a water well. Go there if you get the chance!

 

I got loads of photos I took with the lens I bought in Chongqing, but unfortunatly I cant connect it to my computer to show them to you... I'll do my best to fix it soon!

 

Our containers arrived today to the airport, and tomorrow we will go and start the work to put the airplanes together again. It will be hot days ahead according to the forecast. Today was hot and sunny as well.

 

To be continued ;)
