oh yeah, and this!

I'm sorry, but can we just all take a moment and talk about THESE GUYS!?!
I can't stand that i never even heard of this army made of clay (!) or that i've never seen them in person. It just all seems so impossible that each one of these soldiers was made by hand, that each one is different, and actually look like the soldiers in the actual Chi'in Army. It's like getting to see what they actually looked like, i mean, imagine having a sculpture made of you, and then people looking at it thousands of years later! i would have to get a haircut if that kind of thing was going to be done...
But seriously, we think we can do so much just cause we have come up with airplanes, ipods and cell phones. NOTHING compared to what these people did in like 210BCE. Seriousely.

I saw these guys and they are neat, though the indoor football stadium they are in is part of the awe inspiring. It really makes them seem even more huge. That warehouse hanger is amazingly large. It was kind of like a secret government complex where they hide aliens.

Sarah,

You can ask Wendy all about them when she comes to visit from England in August as she has seen them. She even has a small replica of one in her living room.
