Now we are at a hot springs resort; traditionally designed bath houses around a small lake. Before this we were at the sight of the terra-cotta warriors. We could see the excavation site which was housed under a giant curling rink struc- ture. The next building we went to exhibited single examples of the fig- ures. I thought the small tableau sculp- tures which illustrated the casting tech- nique were beautiful - Rodin-like. Peter Lee and I went into the Bronze Horse exhibit. I eavesdropped on a guide of a French group who explained how the cavalry men had noses like Westerners. Shortly after Peter was accused of taking pictures which was strictly forbidden. I went with him to the security office. All the policemen were extremely young look- ing, maybe late teens. Peter was able to talk his way out of it but there were some pretty tense moments before they would let us go. We visited the factory where the copies of the warriors were made. From there we were whisked off to the Xi’an Film Factory. Yep that’s what they called it. We got to meet an administrator of the studio who gave us pins, brochures and a brief account of goings on at the studio. We generously presented him with 2 t-shirts, a bottle of something or other and some of our own pins. He then gave us a tour of a set they were building for a joint Can- ada/China production.

While we were walking around the site our local guide told us how much this building was re- sented by the workers. There is a severe housing shortage in Xi’an. I could see that lateron when Yvette and I walked around the town. Many families lived in one room. The sun set in a fiery ball and people went snap happy. The con- struction workers largely ignored us. The work looked to be grueling stuff, with very little machinery to help and no protective equipment at all. Nov.9 We arenowin Shanghai. Much more urban. We are ina gorgeous hotel probably built in the 20’s, pre-revolu- tion definitely. There are three of us but the room is so large that it’s not a problem at all. Everything is decrepit and dirty but you can still feel the elegance. It’s ashame that there is sucha language barrier. There is a huge wall between us and the Chinese. The hotel staff is positively resentful to us but very playful among themselves. Nov.13 We are at a Buddhist temple - it’s stunningly beautiful.
