Prompt: Free Write (6/11/10)
Today was a very tiring day. We had to wake up at 4:00 in the morning, just so we could catch our flight to go to Xian. Everyone was tired when they got up in the morning. As we got on the bus that would take us to the airport, many kids were sleeping. When we got to the airport to check our bags in, there was a very long line. Peop
le kept on cutting us in line. It was so annoying, but we were finally able to get through the crowd to load our bags. We then walked to our gate to get onto our plane. We did not have to wait very long before the plane arrived. It only took one and a half hours to get to Xian. When we got off the plane, it was hotter than in Beijing. When we got outside, we loaded our bags on a bus that would take them to the hotel, but we did not go straight to the hotel. First, we did some sight seeing at the Ancient City Wall.
It was really long and big. You could even rent a bike and ride on the top of the wall. Some of the other guys and me went into a tower that used to be a lookout tower when the wall was built. The view was great. You could see the whole city from where we were. After that we went to eat lunch. It w
as very delicious there. Then we went to a jade shop, to see how they craft jade. Later we headed out to the Wild Goose Pagoda where we sight saw and climbed to the top of the Pagoda. Finally, by that time, everyone was tired and ready for bed, but we had one more thing to do. We went and saw the Tang Dynasty Singing and Dancing Show. It was well performed for everyone. They were really good dancers and their costumes were very elaborate. Now we were able to go to the hotel. I was so tired by the end of the day; I could not wait to lie in bed.
