XIAN – General
The detial really was quite amazing.
40 year old port – life could be worse
Yup, a lot worse. A fine finish to a fine meal. Subtly smokey honey coats your mouth as you sip and enjoy. Tranquil.
Escargot in San Francisco
In fact this is the first time I have tried snails. Quite nice, cooked in garlic butter and then spooned into a crispy vol-au-vent. The garlic was not overpowering. All around delectable.
Little things
Gutter in Xian at the Terracotta warrior museum
Still Life with Beer II
Nice beer in San Jose, local micro brewery I believe, very reminiscent of a Belgian Triple.
Hong Kong harbour
Yes, it was freezing but the fragrant harbour is not quite so fragrant near the water. Quite lovely, really…
Details – yet again
Column in Xian
Teahouse in Xian
One of the oldest still operational tea houses in the world.
Xian warriors
Yes, they were painted. In the olden days the army must have looked glorious indeed – and quite lifelike.
A little spooky really…
