First Layover - Xi' An Day 1

Budget airline does not have as much layover as commercial airline.
So when you get layover, its like having a jackpot. 

Was lucky enough to be able to layover in Xi'An on the 4th month of flying. 
Plus, am flying with my batchmate, Joe!!!!
Its always nice to have a set of nice crew to fly with. 
Long flight feels like short flight.

Reached Xi' An and checked in to the hotel past midnight.
Did not go elsewhere. 

Head to the hotel breakfast in the morning.
All of the crew went to Xi'An before except for me. 
So they are not planning to go to Terracotta

 Captain Davis says this is a must take picture for all the new crew.
He says this would be the nearest Terracotta. 

 Saw this signboard outside the lift. 
What's with the "No Slapping"???

 From the left
Joe Lee & Nicki Ang

 Forget what place is this. 
But it was near the Bell Tower. 
Nicki was looking for a shop nearby to get her Pejoy snack. 

 One of their street food, 桂花糕.

2nd nearest Terracotta. Hahaha

 This is Bell Tower (钟楼)
Didnt got the chance to go in.
Joe & Nicki have been here.
Gonna come here next time with Mike and we're gonna explore Xi'An together!!!!


After about 1++ hour walk, finally found the place Nicki is looking for. 
If I'm not mistaken is called Vanguard.
Its a small mart that sell all China snacks. 
Nicki bought a whole box of her Pejoy to bring back Malaysia. 

Went back hotel after that to put our stuff as it is too many to carry around.
After chilling a while, we went out again to another mall to continue shopping. 

For me, its quite a waste.
People went Xi'An to explore.
But I came here to shop for food and snack. 

Wanda Dept Store.
A slightly bigger store. 
Cont to shop till we drop.

Later after that, we had dinner at Hai Di Lao (海底捞)
Its a steamboat.
Its was so expensive in Singapore that is cost 2 people $200!
While in Xi'An, it only cost all of us $16 each.
And we ordered almost everything.
Whatever we can find in the menu.
Which is very worth.

This set of crew is not so aggresive.
We went back hotel after dinner.
Yeah, for those beer lover.
Beer in Xi'An is also very cheap and nice.
You can try their local beer.
Its called 青岛.

We bought some beer and had some poker game in the room.
Before everyone get some rest in their own room.
Break my own record.
Drank 2 cans of Asahi
2 cocktail
3 glass of white wine
And I'm still alive!!!
Hahahaha

*Stay tune to Day 2*
