May 1 2006 Xi'an Travel First Day

This morning 7:00am I arrived Xi'an train station after one night's travel, there're a lot of people, I checked out and went out of station, Paul and I sent the other two friends to the bus station. We walked straight ahead to the north church. On the way, Paul had to make phone calls to his friends to remind them that he's already there at Xi'an, but he almost left his mobile there, my God, fortunately I was there with him, hehe. We went to the church and saw a priest's father there, he gave him a lot of contact Paul needs, he also told us how to go here and there in Xi'an coz Paul had been long time not home. He took us to visit the church at second floor for Mass celebration. We met a catholic who's having a Panda tatoo on his arm, the priest's father jokingly called him bad person because of the tatoo~hehe, they're very kind and interesting.
Later we went to the South gate, inside the city wall, there're really few people despite of the May holiday, we ate some snacks on the street and went to see Fr.Steven, he's the secretary of bishop, he introduced to me their charity responsibilities.
Later we went to see a friend of Paul, coz she lives in the city, easier for me to travel instead of living in Paul's place. We went to a middle sized restaurant and ordered some food, I like the food and enjoyed talking with them, later we went to the Shanxi Province museum, it's the best museum I'd ever been to. I felt the artworks reflect the soul of the arts who made them for the funeral of the great emperor, though they know it's just for the dead, never will be exposed, but they made them so marvelous, so much a wonder! We'd also been to the Dayan Tower square to buy some small arts, I just got two purses, I always buy purses by my interest, hehe, it's all hand made. I love them.
Later we went back to the north church to get my luggage to go to Paul's place, he's living in Sanyuan village, the north of Xi'an, we arrived late, about 8pm. It's already dark, so I only followed his steps not daring to look anywhere else, he even forgot how to go home! My God, we had to walk a little big long to find his way back home, at last we got there, later I greeted his parents and relatives, later I went to his room to look at his pictures, I slept with his sister and the daughter.
We slept safe and sound to the next morning.
That's the first day!
