I've finally got my VPN working and so can update my blog. It's strange that only airports and coffee shops seem to have a good internet system! The hotel internet didn't work at all and the office system seems to block VPN.
Work in Xi'An went very well. I also had fun eating all sorts of strange foods with Xiaopeng (including donkey and "pig's leg"). We also went to a very dramatic show that seemed to be "Tang Dynasty meets Star Wars". It was very impressive. Although it was all in Chinese, it was rather obvious what happened. Emperor meets lady. They fall in love. She gets killed by the bad guys. He mourns for her. They meet again in heaven. Apparently it's based on a true story that actually occurred in XiAn. The Chinese astronomer sitting next to me said that it was the best show that he'd ever seen. He comes from the Kazaghistan border of China and apparently they don't have many shows!
Back to Beijing now!!
