I come here for the first time,I like to make friends with all of you! I come from xi'an(a very old city , history of 5000 years) of China,now I live in the mailand China.my English is very poor but I think I can communicate with my new friends! I think USA is a very beauty and hopeful place! I'm sure I can enjoy myself in the wonderful forum! BEST WISHES!!!
that's the beauty of this site, everyone is welcome. Don't worry about your english. we'll understand your love and peaceful vibes all the same!
I say welcome. although I'm also new. Here is people from all over the world. Nice to meet you mosade.
haloo.. I'm Chinese too.. but not from China.. i'm from Singapore.. Anyone know where is Singapore? haha.. i think it's too small to be noticed.. poor thing..
I visited X'ian China while on vacation in November 2001. What impressed me was the Fortified Walls surrounding the City and the Terra Cotta Warriors. Both sites were unbelievable. Here in the United States, buildings 250 years old are rare but can be found. Anything older than 350 years don't exist. The top of the Walled defenses are huge. Large enough for 2 city buses to comfortably pass each other. I'll see if I can post a couple of pics.
They may be a bit fuzzy. What appears to be a boulevard after the gate is the top of the city wall. In the first pic, for perspective, that is a person walking after the iron gate. We were told, there are 3 more areas of Terra Cotta warriors currently under excavation.
Welcome to the forum, Mosade. Glad to have you here! Thanks for posting the pictures, Ole Goat. The warriors are pretty amazing.
are you kidding me. this is hippieland.... Peace and love man. We (hippies) do not discriminate against others bassed soly on race,color,religion, or national origion. Hippies share a love of anything and everuthing that shows Peace. The origional Ideals behind China's government are meant to establish Peace. Everyone working tgether and sharing everything equally. Comunism/Comune same root word. The answer is, yes you are very welcome here.
They are...Originally they were painted in natural colors. When the dirt was removed from around the statues, the paint came off as well. However some of the pigment remains. You can sort of guess what they must have looked like when they were initially made. If I remember correctly, officials guess there may be been as many as 100,000 Terra Cotta warriors. So far they may have found several thousands.
Absolutely we welcome ANYONE who wants peace on this planet, and understanding, and tolerance of others. This website has been around for several years now, and is only growing larger day by day.
My hometown is Gangxi province,where have a very very very beautyful city called Guilin.Do have visited Guilin,the former president of USA Clinton have visited Guilin in 1998.while now my college is in xi'an,I will finish my college schooling in the next year! yes,the Fotified wall surrouding the city and Terra cotta warriors is great and unbelievable.I think American is great,friendly and humor,and don't discriminate againsts the peaceful people all over the world !!! There are some photo I took in xi'an !DO YOU LIKE MORE PICTURES?
i hate people. hey bro your pictures arent working. they might come through if you host them on here. it might take a while to figure it out. i use very broken english too, so if you get confused with what i say just ask me to say it again.
Mosade, welcome to our site. I hope you are comfortable and happy here. But in life, remember, we all must, at some time, be uncomfortable. Peace to you.
